I think xcompmgr plus transset themselves can not changes windows' opacity depending on focusfocus change, so I tried FvwmTransFocus from tinyapps.sf.net.
But for me it doesn't work, here is my steps. ( I use gentoo linux) (1) complie FvwmTransFocus cc -march=prescott -O3 -pipe -msse3 -fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/include/X11 -L/usr/lib/X11 -o FvwmTransFocus FvwmTransFocus.c (2) cp FvwmTransFocus /usr/lib/fvwm/2.5.21/ (3) In .fvwm/config add the following line: DestroyFunc StartFunction AddToFunc StartFunction + I Module FvwmPager 0 0 + I Module FvwmButtons + I Test (Init) Module FvwmTransFocus On Feb 6, 2008 1:15 PM, Cameron Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 06Feb2008 00:37, Michal Nazarewicz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > | "for.register for.register" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > | > I used to xcompmgr in fluxbox, since I can set different alpha value > | > in ~/.fluxbox/init for different transparency.
