How to make a window transparent by clicking a program's title bar?

  • 772

In an earlier version of Ubuntu with Compiz I'm pretty sure there was a useful setting to enable seeing what's behind the current window by clicking and holding the title bar, which then changed the current window's opacity to something like 10 percent.

Is there any way to achieve this in Ubuntu 11.10?
