Having difficulty setting up transparent GTK themes

I've been trying to set up a minimal dark transparent GTK theme to go with my i3/tint2 setup, using compton.

This is the theme I had in mind: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=149606

Unfortunately, the end result has always been a pitch black gtk theme with no transparency whatsoever :(

The wiki, multiple forum posts, and endless RTFMing has lead me to a dead end... so I'm coming here as a last resort!

Re: Having difficulty setting up transparent GTK themes

Welcome to the Arch Linux forums!

In such cases, it's mostly the best thing to ask the one who made those screenshots for how the transparency effect can be achieved.

As a more general note: Given the information you have provided us, it is difficult to determine what you have already tried, hence difficult to provide any useful help.

Have you read the compton man page? It seems the -i option may be right for you.
