NAME
transset - Set transparency on a window
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/transset [-options ...] [opacity]
DESCRIPTION
transset is a simple program for X servers supporting the
XFIXES, DAMAGE, and COMPOSITE extensions. It lets the user
set the transparency on a window.
The opacity value is a number from 0 to 1, with zero being
fully transparent and 1 being fully opaque. If no opacity
argument is given, a default value of 0.75 is used for the
opacity value. If neither --inc nor --dec are given, the
opacity is treated as an absolute value and set to the given
opacity value. If --inc or --dec is specified, then the
opacity is treated as a relative value to increase or
decrease the current opacity by.
OPTIONS
-display display
This option specifies the server to use; see X(5).
-h, --help
This option displays a help message and exits.
-t, --toggle
This option forces a toggle of opacity. If the cur-
rent opacity is not set to fully opaque (opacity
1.0), it will be reset to fully opaque. If the win-
dow is already fully opaque, the opacity will be set
normally.
-c, --click
This option selects the target window by waiting for
the user to click the mouse - the topmost window
under the mouse cursor when the mouse click occurs
will be used as the target.
-p, --point
This option selects the window currently under the
cursor to be the target.
-a, --actual
This option selects the window that currently has
input focus to be the target.
-n, --name name
This option selects the target window by name, where
name is matched as a regular expression, unless
--no-regex is also specified.

--inc This option increases the window opacity by the
given opacity argument.
--dec This option decreases the window opacity by the
given opacity argument.
-m, --min opacity
This option sets the minimum possible opacity value.
It defaults to 0 if this option is not given.
-x, --max opacity
