Menu Transparency Question

[searchtheskies]

Is it possible to apply transparency settings to individual menus using xcompmgr?

I currently have the line:

Code: [Select]

xcompmgr -CcfF -fF -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 -D2 -m.57 &
in my autostart.sh file and this applies the transparency I want for my right-click menu, but would prefer it not be a global setting for all menus as is the case now.

hey, try Compton (also get compton-start, compton-settings - all in synaptic).
it's a friendly, gui version of xcompmgr, and yes, transparent menus are not a problem (look for my screenshot on this forum).
good luck

Thanks for your reply! I don't see compton-start or compton-settings in Synaptic, just the base package. Are they in a non-standard section of the repos?

All what you need is to search for xcompton-tools.
This will install compton, too
