Issue 19: Investigate a way to allow contrib extensions to use compositing. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=19 Comment #4 by gwern0: Alex: you can get part of what you want if an application supports recoloring itself when focus is not on it. For example, Urxvt lets you specify either via the commandline or through .Xresources something like this: URxvt.fading: 10 URxvt.fadeColor: purple which iirc fades unfocused terminals by 10% (or maybe it was *to* 10%) brightness and darkens it purplish. Given how many XMonad users are heavy terminal users and how they should be using Urxvt anyway because it's so good, I think this carries the user a good portion of the way. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
