OPACITY
Overview
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 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
