[edit] Synopsis

Make windows not in focus translucent.

[edit] Description

This extension enables the window in focus to stay opaque while the ones not in focus become 'translucent' using Xorg's composite extension.

This extension depends on http://forchheimer.se/transset-df/ and, of course, assumes you have reasonably good graphics hardware.

[edit] Installation

To use this file, put (require 'focus-transparency) somewhere in your local config files (like ~/.sawfishrc).

This module assumes that you have transset-df in PATH (which, unlike the original transset that comes as part of xorg, allows one to pass the window id). If you don't, you can download transset-df from here:
