[Solved] excluding a Window from the transparent effect in 4.8
Hi,
i'm searching a possibility to exclude a window from the transparent effect, because I'm using two monitors and want to have opacity for a videoplayer on the second monitor during i work with other windows on the first monitor.
I'm trying to do that with setting devilspie for eg. kaffeine to 100% (opacity), but the transparent effect from the compositor overwrite this setting.
So, is there a other possibility to do that?
Otherwise it would be a nice feature to exclude a window from the transparent effect in future releases of xfce.
Because now the state of the transparent effect is the same like in compiz, nice feature but not really usable in my case.

Devilspie doing the trick. :o))
If i change the wintype of kaffeine to 'utility' with devilspie, i have always full opacity.
The xfce-4.8 compositor doesn't override this setting anymore.
