Feature Request: Setting to define transparency stepping about altsnap HOT 8 CLOSED

There is no way for the moment indeed for the moment but it should not be hard.

Ok actually this was so trivial that it is already there.

Just add AlphaDelta=value between 1-255 (default 8) in the [Advanced] section of ini file
This is the step with shift. Without shift the steps are 8 time larger hence 64 by default.
In your case try 4 and maybe even lower?
It is true that the steps are maybe a bit too large by default.

Yes the value is clamped in the 1-255 range.
I do not know, why you would put 0 maybe to allow only the case where Shift is pressed?
Given that there is no harm to put 0 I will let the user do it.

I was hoping for control over both values. Why? When the stepping is too small, the non-Shift stepping becomes tiresome to scroll up and down. But a small stepping for Shift is convenient for making windows only slightly transparent so the window behind isn't as distracting (this is what I meant when I said default stepping: I cannot make a small enough step, but I personally was fine with the large stepping value). Of course, this may be asking for too much.

In the approach you've already taken, I guess the solution to what I'm asking for is also control over the multiplier value 8x. I could set this then to 16x when using 4 for AlphaDelta.

The hook works. It just didn't entirely solve what I was looking for.

Simpler to have both values as you say, so if someone wants to invert shift behaviour or something.
now use in [Advanced]
AlphaDelta=64
AlphaDeltaShift=8
You want to modify the AlphaDeltaShift in your case.

Something seems wrong. I'm not sure it works as intended.

My bad. For some reason I had placed it in [Performance].

from altsnap.

AlphaDelta=0 & AlphaDeltaShift=0 both still de-/increase transparency, when they should likely do nothing I guess? Actually, It's probably better if 0 is set that it is interpreted as 1 (which I think is what is happening?). If someone wants to disable this feature, it should be done via the UI / whatever .ini setting controls the mouse action being assigned to transparency. But perhaps there's good reason for making 0 make it do nothing?

It works as expect as far as I can tell.

Thank you 🙂
