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).
