It is similar to other utilities like transset(1) or transset-df(1). .SH OPTIONS .TP .BI \-w\ window\-id Specify the window id to target. .TP .BI \-n\ window\-name Specify and try to match a window name. .TP .BI \-c Specify the current window as a target. .TP .BI \-s Select target window with mouse cursor. This is the default if no window has been specified. .TP .BI \-o\ opacity Specify the new opacity value for the window. This value can be anywhere from 1-100. If it is prefixed with a plus or minus (+/-), this will increment or decrement from the target window's current opacity instead. .SH EXAMPLES .TP Set window id to opacity of 75%. compton-trans -w "$WINDOWID" 75 .TP Set window name, "urxvt", to opacity of 75%. compton-trans -n "urxvt" 75 .TP Set current window to opacity of 75%. compton-trans -c 75 .TP Select target window and set opacity to 75%. compton-trans -s 75 .TP Increment current window opacity by 5%. compton-trans -c +5 .TP Decrement current window opacity by 5%. compton-trans -c -- -5 .SH BUGS Please report any you find to https://github.com/chjj/compton. .SH AUTHORS Christopher Jeffrey (https://github.com/chjj) .SH SEE ALSO .BR compton(1), .BR xprop(1), .BR xwininfo(1)
