 |
|
Hello, I am trying to set up transparent terminals with urxvt and compton. The transparency works, however, the terminal windows are completely transparent. I would like them to be partially opaque. Is there a way to configure compton to do this?
I have this in my .Xresources:
| Code: |
URxvt*depth: 32
URxvt*background: [90]#000000
|
And this in my compton.conf:
| Code: |
opacity-rule = [ "40:class_g = 'urxvt'" ];
|
And have run compton with and without the "--config compton.conf" option |

two things to try:
depending on your window manager, you may or may not need to use dbus:
| Code: | | dbus-launch compton |
compton nowadays looks for config files even without "--config", so to test with defaults

| I tried both of those ways of starting compton, but I still got the same result. I am using Xmonad as my window manager |

| The background settings you posted cause the background to turn pink, but the transparency works fine now, when I call compton with the arguments you posted. Thank you very much! |
