transpency for X windows not working under X11
I'm not sure if this belongs in the Xwayland issue tracker or here, so I'll start here.
I first noticed that transparency wasn't working with the wmfocus
tool [1], then decided to try a simpler test: Using transset
to make an xeyes
window semi-transparent is not working for me under Wayland/Xwayand.
Steps to reproduce
- Install xeyes, an X11 app
- Install
transset
, a utility that allows you set to the transparency of an X window by clicking on it.On Arch Linux, the package name isxorg-transset
. - Run
transset --click 0.5
and click the xeyes window.
Expected result is that the xeyes window becomes 50% transparent.
Current result is nothing appears to happen.
I found this issue where transparency was apparently fixed 3 years ago, so I'm not sure if there's a new bug, my test is bad or there is some other issue in my environment.
