Transparency all windows about xmonad-ubuntu-conf HOT 2 CLOSED

Actually I know very little about Haskell, I just hacked this together over a few months of incrementally trying to make xmonad work the way I wanted it to. I'm glad I've been able to save some other people some time getting this all working.

Unfortunately I haven't really spent much time getting to the bottom of transparency issues.. xcompmgr, which runs as part of the start-xmonad hook, does offer some basic transparency support which applications like synapse use when making drop shadows and rounded corners. I also often run my terminals slightly transparent just using background settings for Terminator. Aside from that I haven't fooled with it.

it does appear that this is possible, as there is at least one hook available which changes the opacity of windows based upon whether they are active or not. Take a look at this:

I suspect you might be able to get the effect you want by binding the fadeIn and fadeOut commands to specific keys...
