I am trying to:
- make some applications transparent using
compton
oni3wm
such that - in tabbed/ stacked mode in
i3wm
the underlying windows are hidden (or are not drawn).
For example's sake, let us take the application to be zathura
.
I tried the following in my compton.conf
:
opacity-rule = [
"90:class_g = 'Zathura' && !_NET_WM_STATE@:32a",
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@:32a *= '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'"
]
This doesn't make zathura
transparent, but zathura
is hidden if it is beneath any other transparent window in tabbed/ stacked window.
Next I tried the following in compton.conf
:
opacity-rule = [
"90:class_g = 'Zathura'",
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@:32a *= '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'"
]
This does make zathura
transparent, but this draws zathura
beneath other windows when in tabbed or stacked mode in i3wm
.
I found this and tried the suggested solution. That is, I replaced "0:_NET_WM_STATE@:32a *= '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'"
with
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[0]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[1]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[2]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[3]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[4]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'"
However this made no change. Please help.
