<p>Hey guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Came across a way to make Emacs transparent in Cywgin after a bit of research and wanted to share. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>1) start up Emacs <br>
2) Add the following code to the buffer: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> (defun djcb-opacity-modify (&optional dec)<br>
"modify the transparency of the emacs frame; if DEC is t,<br>
decrease the transparency, otherwise increase it in 10%-steps"<br>
(let* ((alpha-or-nil (frame-parameter nil 'alpha)) ; nil before setting<br>
(oldalpha (if alpha-or-nil alpha-or-nil 100))<br>
(newalpha (if dec (- oldalpha 10) (+ oldalpha 10))))<br>
(when (and (>= newalpha frame-alpha-lower-limit) (<= newalpha 100))<br>
(modify-frame-parameters nil (list (cons 'alpha newalpha))))))<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> ;; C-8 will increase opacity (== decrease transparency)<br>
;; C-9 will decrease opacity (== increase transparency<br>
;; C-0 will returns the state to normal<br>
(global-set-key (kbd "C-8") '(lambda()(interactive)(djcb-opacity-modify)))<br>
(global-set-key (kbd "C-9") '(lambda()(interactive)(djcb-opacity-modify t)))<br>
(global-set-key (kbd "C-0") '(lambda()(interactive)<br>
(modify-frame-parameters nil `((alpha . 100)))))<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>3) save the file (C-x C-s) at ~/emacs.d/init.el <br>
4) restart Emacs <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Note: this sets that C-8 decrease transparency, C-9 to increase transparency and C-0 to set to normal <o:p></o:p></p>
