Description:
This patch adds support for real transparency to
kdesktop. It adds two new
composite manager related features. To activate
the features kdesktop has to
be started with the "--bg-transparency" option.
The first one allows you to change the opacity of
the background image. This
works currently with the beryl transparent cube
and will also work with
compiz once the transparent cube gets applied. To
activate the feature add
the following to your kdesktoprc:
[Background Common]
BackgroundOpacity=90 (0 = fully transparent / 100
= opaque)
The second feature allows compiz (and later maybe
other composite managers) to
tell kdesktop not to paint the background image
("_COMPIZ_WALLPAPER_SUPPORTED" x atom). In this
case compiz is able to paint
a viewport dependent background or to make it even
animated. This feature
looks for changes to the x atom, so that kdesktop
will automatically switch
back to normal background if kwin gets started or
compiz stops to render the
wallpaper.
This patch is against the current kde3 svn.

Dennis
