I'm not sure why using properties does not work there. Personally I use
different opacity value according to the focus status:
client.add_signal(
"focus",
function(c)
if c.class and (c.class:lower():find("rxvt") or
c.class:lower():find("emacs")) then
c.opacity = 1.0
end
end)
client.add_signal(
"unfocus",
function(c)
if c.class and (c.class:lower():find("rxvt") or
c.class:lower():find("emacs")) then
c.opacity = 0.7
end
end)
Thanks Arnaud! I'll try that based on focus and see how it does.
Also, is there another compositing manager i can use with awesome? I
don't think the compositing manager of compiz can be used by itself
can it, and the cairo composite manager project looks dead.
As Compiz is a composite window manager, it cannot be used with Awesome.
I'm currently developing a composite manager (similar to xcompmgr but
more extendable through plugins) called unagi[1]. Version 0.2 is rather
slow but the latest git version is supposed to be much faster (version
0.3 should be released very soon). For now, there is only an opacity
plugin (and an exposé plugin but it's barely usable so I don't advise
using it until it is fixed for version 0.4). Feel free to try it and
reports feedbacks/bugs!
Regards,
As it happens i discovered Unagi today and installed it Via git source.
It works well! I did note that using synapse the entry box is not
displaying properly with unagi and it does display correctly with
xcompmgr. If your interested in more information on that let me know of
list and ill be glad to provide you with screen shots and help you debug
that.
