Waimea Transparency Issues

[philip42]

Hello all!
I'm writing my first style for Waimea (BB, FB, etc...) and I'm having problems getting transparencies to work correctly. I'm using the command:

menu.title.opacity: 85

to make portions of the style transparent, but having no success. Am I missing a required library needed for transparency effects? I'm using Waimea 0.3.5. Couldn't get it to work under 0.3.4 either.

well if you were missing a library the configure script would tell you.

When I configure waimea I get
with interlace
without ordered-pseudo
with xshape
with xrender
with xft
with pixmap

and my transparencies work fine.

My theme obliteration.style uses
menu.title.opacity: 70 # for the menu title
window.title.unfocus.opacity: 50 # for when the window is unfocused

OK, the .style file isn't in the tarball I downloaded. Thought I'd give it a try and see if it's just the way I'm trying to use the command and not something else.

Are you using Esetroot to set the background image when you start Waimea? If not, edit your theme's background line to say:

Esetroot -s ~/.waimea/themes/foo.jpg (editing the path as required)

Try that out and see what happens.

Yeah, I'm using Esetroot.
