Sakura

Background alpha affects foreground alpha

Asked by Arne Winter

Is it the expected behavior that changing the background transparency in sakura also makes the foreground more transparent?

my sakura.conf:

```
[sakura]
colorset1_fore=rgb(192,192,192)

Forgot to add that i am using the Compton compositor with the following compton.conf

```
shadow = true;
no-dnd-shadow = true;

shadow-offset-x = -7;
shadow-offset-y = -7;
shadow-opacity = 0.7;
shadow-red = 0.0;
shadow-green = 0.0;
shadow-blue = 0.0;
shadow-exclude = [ "name = 'Notification'", "class_g = 'Conky'", "class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'", "class_g = 'Cairo-clock'" ];
shadow-ignore-shaped = false;
xinerama-shadow-crop = false;
menu-opacity = 1.0;
inactive-opacity = 1.0;
active-opacity = 1.0;
frame-opacity = 1.0;

Yes, that's the expected behaviour. It's really window transparency, titlebar and other decorations included.

Can you help with this problem?
