when mentioning the transparency configured via systemsettings do you refer to the effect or to the window rule? In case of the effect does using a window rule solve this wish? Le Thursday 24 September 2009 19:44:55 Martin Gräßlin, vous avez écrit :

I don't refer to window rule in that case. But my konsole has a window rule
(transprency 20 % in editing profile in konsole menu) which is transmitted to
systemsettings, and I can't give back full opacity when I right click on title
konsole barre !
Are my explanations corrects ?
Thanks !

Konsole is a different topic. There the transparancy is completely done inside the application and independent from KWin. The difference is visible. In case of Konsole only the background is translucent, window border and text are completely solid. The settings via titlebar menu affects the whole window including decorations. So if your wish is that the Konsole translucency settings should be changeable by KWin I think that this report is a CANTFIX. I don't refer specially to konsole ! Your comment is correct. My konsole window rule was an error from me. I wish the transparency of hich window could be modified as generally (in systemsettings) as locally (in context menu) with the same parameters. You can try : fix transparency at 90 % in systemsettings. Ok all is done. And then, click right on the title barre of an application (kontact or other...), choose opacity, it is 100 % whereas it should be 90 % ! That 's it ! Can you say why we can't extend this to konsole (if you can't, you can't ! But why) please ? Thank you ! I don't refer specially to konsole ! Your comment is correct.

(In reply to comment #5) > Can you say why we can't extend this to konsole (if you can't, you can't ! But > why) please ? > > Thank you ! This is stupid from me ! We can apply transparency from kwin to konsole, so it could be extended... The only problem is to make a particular rule for the application, whereas if we fix it via konsole menu, this can't be done... Sorry ! There are basically three different translucency settings: 1. The effect, that is systemsettings -> desktop -> desktop effects -> All effects -> Translucency. This allows to set translucency for things like moving, etc. 2. There are the window rules (systemsettings -> window behaviour -> window specific settings) which offer the possibility to set the opacity for active and inactive windows. 3. The opacity in the window menu. This should be in sync with the opacity from window rule (number 2). If it isn't I consider this as a bug. So I think what you want is a relationship of number 1 with number 3. This is currently not possible and would require window specific settings for the effects. If that is what you want and need we have a duplicate of bug #99198 Le Thursday 24 September 2009 21:04:31 Martin Gräßlin, vous avez écrit :

ok, so, you have found ! this is a duplicate bug of 99198. I thought it was
not a bug, but only not yet imagined !
Thank you ...
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 99198 *** @stephane: what you can do in this particular case is to set a genral rule (i.e. leave window class, title etc. as unimportant, maybe select a specific window type like "Normal") and set in/active opacity at the preferences tab of the window rules (rather than at the Desktop Effects) |
