NAME

picom-trans - an opacity setter tool

SYNOPSIS

picom-trans [-w WINDOW_ID ] [-n WINDOW_NAME ] [-c] [-s] OPACITY

DESCRIPTION

picom-trans is a bash script that sets _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY attribute of a window using standard X11 command-line utilities, including xprop (1) and xwininfo (1). It is similar to transset (1) or transset-df (1).

OPTIONS

-w , --window = WINDOW_ID

Specify the window id of the target window.

-n , --name = WINDOW_NAME

Specify and try to match a window name.

-c , --current

Specify the currently active window as target. Only works if EWMH '_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW' property exists on root window.

-s , --select

Select target window with mouse cursor. This is the default if no window has been specified.

-o , --opacity = OPACITY

Specify the new opacity value for the window. This value can be anywhere from 1-100. If it is prefixed with a plus or minus (+/-), this will increment or decrement from the target window’s current opacity instead.

-g , --get

Print the target window’s opacity instead of setting it.

-d , --delete

Delete opacity of the target window instead of setting it.

-t , --toggle

Toggle the target window’s opacity: Set opacity if not already set, and delete if already set.

-r , --reset

Reset opacity for all windows instead of setting it.

EXAMPLES

• Set the opacity of the window with specific window ID to 75%:

picom-trans -w "$WINDOWID" 75

• Set the opacity of the window with the name "urxvt" to 75%:

picom-trans -n "urxvt" 75

• Set current window to opacity of 75%:

picom-trans -c 75

• Select target window and set opacity to 75%:

picom-trans -s 75

• Increment opacity of current active window by 5%:

picom-trans -c +5

• Decrement opacity of current active window by 5%:

picom-trans -c -- -5

• Delete current window’s opacity:

picom-trans -c --delete

• Toggle current window’s opacity between 90 and unset

picom-trans -c --toggle 90

• Reset all windows:

picom-trans --reset
