Bug ID: 508644
Summary: System Transparency Effects Overriding Special
Application and Window Settings
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.4.4
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I have a grievance to raise with the way the window transparency rules work. I
want to have VLC media player to not become transparent when I am focused on
other windows so I can watch videos and type. I have my inactive windows become
transparent per the system settings. So I added a rule to the special
application and the special window settings to set the opacity for VLC. That
doesn't work. The system settings take priority and it seems you can't turn
that off as the system opacity takes priority. I turned off the system
transparency and immediately the rules worked.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set inactive opacity to something less than 100
2. Set an application inactive opacity to 100 via "configure special
application settings" or "configure special window settings
OBSERVED RESULT
The inactive window is still transparent despite telling it not to be
EXPECTED RESULT
A non-transparent inactive window
