Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
Hello! This is about the latest Gutsy, up to date. Compiz currently allows setting an option to make windows semi- transparent while they're moved. This is very nice, as it allows easier positioning by seeing windows behind it. However, it can be annoying sometimes. For instance, I'm using gnome-terminal, and set it up to use the semi- transparent display mode. (This is a bit smarter than just whole-window transparency: the controls and the text are fully opaque, which is easier on the eyes, and only the space between characters is semi- transparent.) When I move the terminal window there is a jarring change in its transparency, and the effect becomes annoying rather than useful. I would suggest at the very least allowing an exceptions list to the transparent-when-moving option, based on window type, window title, and executable name. Some other effects already allow that, I think. It might also be a good idea to allow disabling the effect on windows that are not naturally opaque (ie, since they already use transparency, they probably know better how to do that). ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Compiz should allow exceptions for window transparency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162665 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
