For the sake of clarity, I think we need to make a couple of points clear. 1) Tranparency / Transparent Windows / Shaped Windows: Those are windows that are shaped and have pixels with ZERO alpha, hence, are completely hidden.
2) Translucency: This is when windows have pixels with alpha values different from 0 ot 255. This means that those pixels can SHOW what is under them. (1) applies to any app running on X (E included). (2) applies only to apps running under something like xorg with the composite and xrender extentions enabled and used. E can have transparent menus (shapes, with some pixels completely hidden) but can NOT have translucent menus as they are NOT part of the desktop canvas. ON the desktop canvas, it can have translucent modules, text, "windows" etc... -- Hisham Mardam Bey MSc (Computer Science) http://hisham.cc/ +9613609386 Codito Ergo Sum (I Code Therefore I Am) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
