[clfswm-devel] Full transparency support with xcompmgr.

[Philippe Brochard]

Hi all,

Following the Ales remarks, I have implemented the full transparency
support in CLFSWM. It uses xcompmgr.

- *transparent-background* can be nil, pseudo (last transparency mode)
  or t (xcompmgr mode).

- Transparency support is set by default to *default-transparency*
  (0.6) for all windows.

- Each window in CLFSWM can have its own transparency (frame background,
  second mode window, identify mode window...). This is configurable
  with the configuration menu for each mode.

- The transparency of each child/window can be changed with the window
  menu or the current child menu.

I hope this will works for you as well as on my box :)

Conky seems to bugs the whole thing if not configured properly. In
particular, I have had to add this in its configuration file:

--------------------------------------------------
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
--------------------------------------------------

If own_window is false, all frames disappears and just the conky frame
can be viewed.

Please, can you test deeply!

Thanks a lot Ales for the xcompmgr remark. I thought transparency
support will be more difficult to implement.

Best regards,

Philippe
