SYNOPSIS
FvwmTransSet can only be invoked by fvwm. Command line invocation of the FvwmTransSet module will not work.
DESCRIPTION
This module sets the transparency to inactive and opacity to active windows with transset or df-transset if a composite manager like xcompmgr, compton or Cairo Composite manager is running.
INVOCATION
FvwmTransSet can be invoked by inserting the line "Module FvwmTransSet"
in the .fvwm2rc
file. This should be placed in the StartFunction if
FvwmTransSet is to be spawned during fvwm’s initialization.

AddToFunc StartFunction

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The following commands are understood by FvwmTransSet:
- *FvwmTransSet: Excludes list of WM_CLASS names
-
On this line one or a comma seperated list of applications or modules with their
WM_CLASS
names can specified which shall not get transparent.Example:
*FvwmTransSet: Excludes FvwmButtons, FvwmPager, FvwmIconMan
- *FvwmTransSet: Opacity value
-
Sets the opacity value for the active/focused window and if defined the excluded applications or modules. Default is 1.0.
- *FvwmTransSet: Transparency value
-
Sets the transparency value for all inactive/unfocused windows. Default is 0.7.
- *FvwmTransSet: UsedTransset type
-
Sets the used transset type. Default is transset. Not all transset versions can used. Only those with the -i option. Otherwise transset-df (http://forchheimer.se/transset-df/) should use instead.
DYNAMICAL ACTIONS
A running FvwmTransSet instance may receive some dynamical actions. This is achived using the fvwm command
SendToModule FvwmTransSet <action> <params>
Supported actions:
- opac value
-
Change the opacity for the active/focused window and if defined the excluded applications or modules.
- trans value
-
Change the transparency for all inactive/unfocused windows.
- exclude list of WM_CLASS names
-
Add one or a comma seperated list of applications or modules to the existing exclude list.
- stop
-
Set transparency and opacity to 1.0 and terminate FvwmTransSet.
- reset
-
Resets all FvwmTransSet values to the initials loaded at startup and update all windows.
- save
-
Tells FvwmTransSet to save the current configuration in a file named ".FvwmTransSet" in the users home directory. This same file is read automatically by FvwmTransSet during startup.
