Is it possible to make background transparent? #142

Open dluksza opened 10 years ago

dluksza commented 10 years ago

In emacs 24 it is possible to make background transparent (with -nw flag). But emacs-live welcome screen seams to overrule this setting.

Would it be possible to honor -nw flag in welcome screen?

Happy to consider a pull request fixing this. Unfortunately, I happen to use Emacs within a terminal, so this isn't something in my immediate focus.

I got my emacs windows transparency with this:

;; set transparency (set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'alpha '(85 85)) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(alpha 85 85))

The above makes both foreground and background 15% transparent. It would be great to have a 100% transparent background but non-transparent foreground text.

Agreed, that's the problem I'm trying to solve. I want the background transparent, but the foreground not transparent. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that.

With this feature emacs can be amazing tool for live visuals. Any news?

samaaron commented 10 years ago

Again, this isn't an immediate focus for me as I perform with Emacs in a terminal which I set to have a transparent background. Happy to consider pull requests though.

Doesn't -nw just launch emacs in console mode?
