[Solved] Xfce per-window opacity/transparency

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, because I figured out how to make windows become a bit transparent as I moved them, but I can't figure out how to make just one window transparent without making every window transparent. hmm

Not per window. Only the application itself can control this and there are some tools floating around on the web to set that per-window.

My bad, hold Alt and scroll on the window decoration...

I tried this and... how can I revert to the original transparency settings? I see nothing related in xfconf or in .config/xfce4/xfwm/...

Edit: ah, after re-setting the correct transparency in Window Manager Tweaks, and using alt-wheel to make all windows opaque, I get the original behaviour back. Still, I'd like to delete any useless setting this may have created.
