I’ve been hacking on Sawfish lately as I’ve blogged in the past. I’ve written another piece of the puzzle—window history support. I’ve written another module for Sawfish. This one provides an opacity submenu to choose the opacity level. Additionally, any settings made in this manner are recorded and recalled the next time a window is displayed with the same window class.

This means that I don’t need to set up an explicit matcher to set a window’s translucency, nor use transset manually; I can just hit the window ops menu and set the translucency that way.
