Can I have a transparent background, but not transparent icons? #121

Closed Botspot closed 3 years ago

Botspot commented 3 years ago

Let's say I wanted xlunch to have a mostly-transparent, dark background: xlunch --bc 00000070

If the xlunch window is positioned above a dark-colored window, the icons look like:
2020-11-25-173122_1920x1080_scrot
Notice that you can see the text behind the icons. That's not what I want. I want the icons to remain opaque.

But if the xlunch window is positioned above a light-colored window, the icons look like this:
2020-11-25-173218_1920x1080_scrot
The icons are totally washed out and hard to see.

How difficult would it be to fix this?

Hmm, I think this is actually a simple bug. Imlib is context-dependent, so maybe it sets the transparency and never resets it somewhere. I'll look into it.

Wouldn't it be better to leave this issue open until the issue is fixed? (assuming you plan to fix it)

PMunch commented 3 years ago

I have fixed it, that's why I closed the issue. Wouldn't close it without fixing it.

Oh I see.
Will recompile.
