Hi Arnaud and Alan,

I would be more than happy if the transset-df fork was merge into xorg. That was my hope from the beginning and people have approach me about it before but it just never seemed to happen completely. I don't feel I have the time or even knowledge to help out much but do feel fully welcome to take the code and merge. I would however appreciate if you kept me somewhat updated on that progress so I can later update the webpage and point to the features in xorg instead.

Regards
Daniel Forchheimer

I do have a git repo of it, with autoconf support added, that I was preparing for upload to xorg/apps once upon a time, but never finished getting there, and am still not sure if we should, given the adhoc
license notice in the code:
        
/* Simple program to toggle Translucency property on next window
clicked
Uses dsimple.h  and dsimple.c from  xlsfonts.  Based on  xprops and
xwininfo

By Matthew Hawn Use however you want. I can't stop you.

About the license notice:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/t/transset-df/transset-df_6-1/transset-df.copyright

I can pass that off if someone wants to try to fix this up to make it publishable as an Xorg app. I think a number of distros do still ship
it.

Well, if nobody is interested, I would be willing to do it.

Perhaps we could merge patches from transset-df fork[0] (CC'ing the author of the fork as well), if the author agrees of course, as it
provides some interesting improvements?

Regards,
