Hi. I have translucency enable system wide. What I cannot figure out is how to disable this for one specific program. I am unable to find the correct setting in the Special Application Settings from the title bar.

What program? Also, what Desktop Theme are you using?
Windows no longer obstructs my view.
Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

Well, he tried the "Special Application Settings", so maybe the "Special Window Settings"...
I mean, probably not, but you never know... well, I don't anyway :·)
Hi
as a side note, When I was teaching online I used to use the transparency setting as noted a LOT.
I used it to grade papers! :0
I have my "rubric" usually with specific sentences, etc. open in one iteration of LibreOffice Writer from which I can "copy and paste" the "expected answer" in the "lower full opacity" window.
I have the student response in the "upper" window set at, depending, fourty percent transparency so that I can see THROUGH the student response into the rubric.
I can quickly scan the student response and if I need to reply, I can reply "manuallY' the first time, but I then copy that reply into the "rubric" because, usually, if one student got something wrong at least a few more will get it wrong in ALMOST the same manner.
When the next student's paper shows and incorrect response which would, in the Windblows way of doing things, require a labourious open and close, or maximize, minimize or watever or just retyping the response, I just click the rubric sheet, which is slightly offset, copy my response and click the "floating" student sheet and paste.
In that manner I can VERY efficiently give very individualized attention to a student's assignment and return it, digitally, to the student very quickly.
This MAY seem trivial but:
a) to the students, getting a reply, sometimes within a few minutes to a submitted paper REALLY is something that they value and also it DOES what all of the educationists talk about at the elementary and secondary levels which is "immediate feedback".
b) the college really IS very much into "tracking the response time" of faculty.
now that is IN NOW WAY invading their academic freedom or "telling them what to do". It is a simple function of detecting when an instructor replied to a student query.
Almost all faculty take VERY long times to reply, if ever, all that "sitting and thinking" and "contemplating the large issues of our time" and all that.
The faculty member gets an e-mail at the end of the semester stating something like "your average response time to a student e-mail was ... while the average response time for all faculty was ...
LOL... mine was minutes or hours the the average response times was always in the five day range. lol
And, also, me using a cell phone to respond to a simple question added to that also. lol
BUT anyway... I am almost positive that NO developer of the transparency or the floating Compiz Fusion settings had this in mind, most probably thought it would be a nice "cosmetic" thing.. but anyway...
