Compton - Transparent urxvt - exluding title bars isn't working!

heroinsunrise · 2014-10-10 07:48:07

Recently installed and configured Compton. Opacity and shadows are working as inteneded, but I'd like to exlude for exampel URxvt's title bar from the transparency. I.e, I want URxvt to be transparent, but not URxvt's title bar.

I've set the option as follows:

 #frame-opacity = 0.0;			'
# Opacity of window titlebars and borders. (0.1 - 1.0)

Yet, it is not working. How to I exclude title bars from the opacity rule?

Including my entire config below. Thank you in advance!

# Shadow
shadow = true;			# Enabled client-side shadows on windows.
no-dock-shadow = false;		# Avoid drawing shadows on dock/panel windows.
no-dnd-shadow = true;		# Don't draw shadows on DND windows.

shadow-radius = 7;		# The blur radius for shadows. (default 12)
shadow-offset-x = -7;		# The left offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-offset-y = -7;		# The top offset for shadows. (default -15)
# shadow-opacity = 0.7;		# The translucency for shadows. (default .75)
# shadow-red = 0.0;		# Red color value of shadow. (0.0 - 1.0, defaults to 0)
# shadow-green = 0.0;		# Green color value of shadow. (0.0 - 1.0, defaults to 0)
# shadow-blue = 0.0;		# Blue color value of shadow. (0.0 - 1.0, defaults to 0)
# shadow-exclude = [ "n:s:dzen" ];	# Exclude conditions for shadows.
shadow-ignore-shaped = true;

# Opacity
menu-opacity = 0.9;			# The opacity for menus. (default 1.0)
inactive-opacity = 1.0;			# Opacity of inactive windows. (0.1 - 1.0)
#frame-opacity = 0.0;			# Opacity of window titlebars and borders. (0.1 - 1.0)
inactive-opacity-override = true;	# Inactive opacity set by 'inactive-opacity' overrides value of _NET_WM_OPACITY.

# Fading
fading = true;			# Fade windows during opacity changes.
fade-delta = 3;		        # The time between steps in a fade in milliseconds. (default 10).
fade-in-step = 0.03;		# Opacity change between steps while fading in. (default 0.028).
fade-out-step = 0.03;		# Opacity change between steps while fading out. (default 0.03).
no-fading-openclose = false;	# Fade windows in/out when opening/closing.

# Other
# inactive-dim = 0.1;		# Dim inactive windows. (0.0 - 1.0, defaults to 0).
mark-wmwin-focused = true;	# Try to detect WM windows and mark them as active.
mark-ovredir-focused = true;
detect-rounded-corners = true;

# Window type settings
wintypes:
{
  tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.5; };
};
opacity-rule = [
     "85:class_g = 'URxvt'"
 ];

There are two problems. First of all, you need to uncomment the line. Lines beginning in # are ignored, so you need to remove the # from the start of the line. Secondly, you should use 1.0, not 0.0. Opacity means visibility rather than transparency.

So, you should change this line:

#frame-opacity = 0.0;

To this:

frame-opacity = 1.0;
