Solved : Transparent View Background for windows

[ccnjim]

When moving windows the view background becomes transparent. Is there a way to make window view backgrounds always transparent? In MMx64

Re: Transparent View Background for windows

click on the window icon and use the opacity setting? you can set window rules else where to set a default value.

Solved: Transparent View Background for windows

Kapil I followed ROG131's post to install the transparency stuff. First in Lucid and then in Maverick. I couldn't find a system wide active window transparency adjustment for the view background anywhere. I can see where that would be a bad idea for me now. Windows get buried and are hard to find.

Thanks sithlord48 for the suggestion. That's what I needed!

Advanced/Special Window Settings/Prefrences/Active Window Opacity=Force (I set to 75%).
I hadn't tried the window menu opacity setting for a couple of releases. The last time I used the opacity setting it made text and icons transparent to (I could be wrong though).
I'm going to mark this solved. Dolphin, Kate, and Amarok are now set to 75%.

Kapil thanks for the link to the H2O-Plasma theme. I like it.
