I've been using Windows 7 side by side with Linux (mostly Ubuntu MATE).
I'd like to use a couple of the features from the Aero interface from
Windows 7 on MATE I've been discussing this topic on the Ubuntu MATE
community forum here:
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/marco-xpresent-compositor-transparent-title-bars/26968/4
In brief, I'm trying to get semi-transparent task bar (accomplished),
inactive window background (accomplished) and window titlebars (not yet
accomplished with Xpresent.) All of these features are achievable with
Compiz, but that consumes quite a bit of the CPU, so I'm seeing if I can
accomplish this with something less resource-intensive, like Xpresent or
Xrender. As noted, with Xpresent, I haven't been able to achieve the
semi-transparent titlebars.
Is there any known way to get semi-transparent titlebars with Xpresent?
I'm looking at the /usr/share/themes/YaruOk/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file and
trying to figure out how I might modify the titlebar rendering in that
theme, but the code is difficult to decipher by someone not familiar
with it.
Thanks. If this is not easily achievable, I'll switch my focus to
Xrender.
