Method
GdkWindowset_opacity
since: 2.12
Declaration [src]
void
gdk_window_set_opacity (
GdkWindow* window,
gdouble opacity
)
Description [src]
Set window to render as partially transparent,
with opacity 0 being fully transparent and 1 fully opaque. (Values
of the opacity parameter are clamped to the [0,1] range.)
For toplevel windows this depends on support from the windowing system
that may not always be there. For instance, On X11, this works only on
X screens with a compositing manager running. On Wayland, there is no
per-window opacity value that the compositor would apply. Instead, use
gdk_window_set_opaque_region (window, NULL) to tell the compositor
that the entire window is (potentially) non-opaque, and draw your content
with alpha, or use gtk_widget_set_opacity() to set an overall opacity
for your widgets.
For child windows this function only works for non-native windows.
For setting up per-pixel alpha topelevels, see gdk_screen_get_rgba_visual(), and for non-toplevels, see gdk_window_set_composited().
Support for non-toplevel windows was added in 3.8.
