Marco seems to set transparency arbitrarily when using transparent themes. #715

Firespindash commented 2 years ago

Expected behaviour

I'm making a theme with semi-transparency for Mate desktop mainly, and I know metacity does support transparency in themes. So it is expected that all window titlebars and borders have semi-transparency enable and working by default when the theme is loaded.

Actual behaviour

It seems Marco does understand the semi-transparency, but only sets the effect arbitrarily in some programs and windows. Yes, I use big shadows. issue-image

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Install a theme with built-in transparency in titlebar and borders. Or install my on theme to test: River-theme. The theme is maintained on my dotfiles repo, and has install instructions inside the INSTALL file.

MATE general version

Mate 1.26.0, as given by the command mate-session --version.

Package version

marco 1.26.0-1

Linux Distribution

I'm using Arch Linux, and latest nvidia proprietary driver, if this info helps, also tryone144's compton, for the blur effect.

Can anyone fix this in the source code?

Firespindash commented 1 year ago

Never mind. I discovered this was a problem regarding compositing, I use compton as compositor, so I already reported it where I really should. Nothing is wrong in the Mate part.
