Transparentwindows

Extension for adding windows transparency to gnome-shell.

• support for global transparency setting
• support for per window transparency setting

Tested on:

• 3.8.2
• 3.9.2

How to use:

• select globar transparency from the menu to set transparency for all new / currently existing windows
• to set a custom transparency value to a window, select it then use the active window slider to set the required transparency.
• NOTE: windows with custom transparency will ignore global transparency settings
• to remove custom transparency value from a window, select it and click "clear active window transparency", it will reset it to the global transparency value.

WARNING:

• This extension may break anything else that changes opacity.
• Having many transparent windows may and probably will kill your performance. You may expiriance lag while dragging windows around. It all depends on your hardware tho.
