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.

DestroyFunc StartFunction
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmTransSet

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.
