feature request: option to customize transparency? #5

Open conrad-heimbold opened 7 years ago

conrad-heimbold commented 7 years ago

Hi, I think it would be really useful if you could customize the transparency of the floating widget. The easiest way would probably be to "mis"use the volume-down-button together with some keyboard letter(s) for that (again), I guess. The volume-down button gets already used as CTRL-key; so e.g.: CTRL-PLUS to increase transparency and CTRL-MINUS to decrease transparency. Or any other similar key.

+1. If not by keyboard, have an editable configuration file (which can be exposed to Tasker) to control the transparency. I'd like to have an option to make the floating window more opaque even when it's not in focus.

+1. The floating window should be fully customizable. Though it already looks nice and works in most situations as-is.

+1 for tuning/having a way of disabling this transparency feature

It is quite heavy for my Nook HD+ tablet so I'd like to turn it off. This is 1GB RAM device with FullHD screen running AOSP 7.1 so it is a bit memory limited. It can still handle videos, Chrome/Samsung Browser/Firefox Focus web browsing, many good 3D games however one termux-float transparent window can bring it to its knees and screen starts flickering and I see out of memory GPU stacktraces in linux kernel log and device is unusable until termux-ui is hidden. I know it is old device and termux-ui works fine on my phone, however since the transparency is just eye candy it would be nice to turn it off completely to reduce GPU memory usage. Thanks for considering this. I use normal termux app on this tablet which is fine.

+1 here.

The "minimize" function covers the need of "seeing what is behind"

mentalisttraceur commented 1 year ago

I would love this feature, for the opposite use-case: I want to make Termux:Float much more transparent, so that I can keep Termux:Float open (and not minimized to a circle) in more situations and still very comfortably and quickly see through it.

If you're fine with adding the feature I would happily do the PR to implement it.
