JWM inactive windows transparent?

Post by theroar84 »

Somehow I clicked something that has made my inactive windows transparent. I went in there to create a hot key... exited with this effect which I really am not a fan of... Anyone have a tip that can help me go back to normal?

Running Fossa64 Frugal, EXT4 drive,

Even a smarter search term could get me in the right direction. JWM Transparency got 1139 entries...

Thanks for your time.

From Menu -> Desktop>JWMDesk Manager>Window Effects

Under Transparency/Opacity. values of 100 are zero transparency.

It was a transparency gig. Today when I booted it up it is gone. So odd. I know I rebooted it that day at least 2x.

Thanks for sharing the window with your settings. I had found that, but I have no idea what the numbers were today. At least if it happens again I have something to reference. 👍

When you say shaded... do you mean rolled up? These were transparent. When I clicked the browser, the file folder to the right was transparent. I could see the desktop icons below it. If I switched windows... The transparency swapped. It was pretty wild.
