NAME
----
picom-trans - an opacity setter tool

SYNOPSIS
--------

*picom-trans* [-w 'WINDOW_ID'] [-n 'WINDOW_NAME'] [-c] [-s] 'OPACITY'

DESCRIPTION
-----------

*picom-trans* is a bash script that sets '_NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY' attribute of a window using standard X11 command-line utilities, including *xprop*(1) and *xwininfo*(1). It is similar to *transset*(1) or *transset-df*(1).

OPTIONS
-------
*-w*, *--window*='WINDOW_ID'::
Specify the window id of the target window.

*-n*, *--name*='WINDOW_NAME'::
Specify and try to match a window name.

*-c*, *--current*::
Specify the currently active window as target. Only works if EWMH '_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW' property exists on root window.

*-s*, *--select*::
Select target window with mouse cursor. This is the default if no window has been specified.

*-o*, *--opacity*='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.

*-g*, *--get*::
Print the target window's opacity instead of setting it.

*-d*, *--delete*::
Delete opacity of the target window instead of setting it.

*-t*, *--toggle*::
Toggle the target window's opacity: Set opacity if not already set, and delete if already set.

*-r*, *--reset*::
Reset opacity for all windows instead of setting it.
