I need help with the XFCE datetime-plugin

Hello,

by click on the panel opens a calender like orage. It is possible to make the calendar transparent?
Or another idea, can i use the Gnome-Panel-Clock include the calendar-popup under xfce?

Thank you for your answers!

I'm not sure if you can make that GTK element transparent. I could be wrong.

You can use devilspie to accomplish this though. You'll need the devilspie and transset-df packages installed. And you'll need an ~/.devilspie/calendar_opacity.ds file with the following content:

( if
( contains ( window_name ) "wrapper-2.0" )
( begin
( spawn_async (str "transset-df -i " (window_xid) " 0.25" ))
)
)

...adjust 0.25 t suit. Also make sure that the "devilspie" program is running and click on the datetime plugin.
