Re: [STUMP] tranparent terminal in Stumpwm

[Joram Schrijver]

I have the following in my ~/.stumpwmrc. It hides all windows not
currently at the top of their frame.


    (defun hide-all-lower-windows (current last)
      (declare (ignore current last))
      (when (typep (current-group) 'stumpwm::tile-group)
        (mapc (lambda (win)
                (unless (eq win (stumpwm::frame-window
                                 (stumpwm::window-frame win)))
                  (stumpwm::hide-window win)))
              (group-windows (current-group)))))

    (defcommand enable-hiding-lower-windows () ()
      "Enable a hook that hides all windows that aren't at the top of
      their frame.
    This is primarily useful when you have (a) transparent window(s) and
    want to
    see the wallpaper underneath instead of other windows."
      (add-hook *focus-window-hook* 'hide-all-lower-windows))


I don't usually use any transparent windows, but when I do I can just
run enable-hiding-lower-windows.

Note that this is not particularly well-tested, and some windows don't
handle it well. Particularly modal windows can do weird things with this
enabled.
