First, Awesome pacakge. ❤️

I tried set alpha value of the minibuffer frame by below code.

(setq mini-frame-show-parameters '((alpha . (80 70)) (top . 20) (width . 0.6) (left . 0.5)))

and I see the value (80 70) by evaluate (frame-parameter mini-frame-frame 'alpha) but it has no effect.

First, Awesome pacakge.

Thanks!

and I see the value (80 70) by evaluate (frame-parameter mini-frame-frame 'alpha) but it has no effect.

According to docs

The alpha frame parameter can also be a cons cell (active . inactive)

So please try (alpha . (80 . 70)).

I tried your suggestion and it shows (80 . 70) and still has no effect. When I run (frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'alpha) on my emacs main frame which successfully have changed the alpha value, I get (80 70).

OK, then please specify your OS. And consider attach screenshots with active mini-frame and with inactive mini-frame.

OS: macOS Mojave Emacs: GNU Emacs 27.0.90 When mini-frame-frame is showed for the first time, it has no alpha and then re-activating the frame applies the value.

Now I figured out. I was using window tiling manager and it was messing my emacs. The alpha setting works by below code with no problem.

(setq mini-frame-show-parameters '((alpha . (80 70)) ))

Sorry for the noise and again, thanks for the quick response and your hard work. 👍

Closing this then.
