>>107536043This is such a useless gimmick.
Why would I want my OS to do that?
>>107536043How the fuck and WHY the fuck.
>>107536043OK that's sick
>>107536051>>107536056>Why would I want my OS to do that?So when you make a screenshot of a transparent window it wouldn't leak any sensitive data from windows behind it?>>107536058Spectacle uses pipewire for screenshots, so when you make a screenshot of a window it doesn't just crop part of a screen, but compositor sends buffer data of window with an alpha-channel.
impressivenow draw a circle
>>107536056How else can I watch my favorite streamer in fullscreen while coding?
>>107536043usecase?I can do this in Windows btw
>>107536043it also captures the alpha, NICE!
>>107536079Why would I want transparent windows at all?
>>107536051>>107536056>>107536195Look how the winfags are seething while literally half their OS is useless gimmicks
>>107536195Because it looks really cool.I use it on LxQt, and you can also set vim to use the transparency so coding in front of my wallpaper is comfier.
>>107536458usecase for having a wallpaper?
>>107536475I make it seasonal nature scenes. So it's like I'm looking through a window.
>>107536043Without background blur it looks worse and less readable
>>107536043MacOS vibes, i don't know why. But your video did me think in apple system.

i use cachyos but transparent terminals are so retarded, I have no idea why people use them.It does look nice to have terminals that are not in use be transparent, but the one in use should not be.
>>107536043>transparency without bluryou're gonna switch back to a solid background as soon as you use it for more than 10 minutes
>>107536704I'm ukrainian though
>>107536777to be fair transparency is good if you're following some tutorial in the background and you want to read and type at the same time without dividing the screen in half, that's why I keep alacrity, and the kde terminal with a solid color when I'm gonna use it for longer
>>107536809>that's why I keep alacrity, and the kde terminal with a solid color when I'm gonna use it for longerYou can make a different profile for Konsole and with/without transparency and make a new desktop entry with '--profile profile2' arguments.

>>107536043OP is a russian spy
>>107536918t. ADHD zoomerI bet you're watching a stream on your second monitor right now
>>107536043While i enjoy kde's easy of use, i think transparent (or even worse blurred) windows are for 14yo incel losers who cant get a girlfriend so they become skiddies.
I think you could do it on windows since vista, probably xp too
>>107537830my normal dev setup is:right monitor: claude code + logging for every process I am interested in currently (if im doing web + backend stuff it'll have browser logs, server logs, build tools logs, database logs, etc. in one app i like process monitor for that.) + a terminal of my working directorymiddle monitor and left monitor have some variety but generally: middle monitor: emacs with the coding buffers open often multiple files at once, maybe some other instances with notes/todo lists, git history, etc.Maybe a view of the site/application I'm working on depending. left monitor: music player, related documentation, or maybe the thing I'm working on, or maybe something else. Two monitors is just like a basic requirement. I'm also learning blender now and like... left monitor: tutorial video, center monitor: blenderhow would you even do this otherwise? 2 monitors is literally the basics if you are doing anything serious. For any kind of development having a terminal + logging + actual coding window + what you are working on is just like a basic requirement and if you are doing anything more complicated than that it's even worse. Laptop users are legit brain damaged.
>>107537924> claude code> web> blender> watching tutorial videosYeah you are one of those retarded reddit zoomzooms who thinks a t430 with 4GB ram unironically is not performant enough to become a programmer in 2025.> emacsBut i guess you might see the light one day. You might be walking the right path without realizing oit.
>>107536804You still need to be there on the other side
>>107536043This is gimp, not an os.
>>107536079>Spectacle uses pipewire for screenshotswhat
>>107537969empty cope, you have been mentally raped because you were forced to use a laptop for a job. No human being should be limited to one screen. CC haters are also retarded, if you want a custom plugin for emacs you can just ask it and it will spin it up in 2 minutes. I have it manage all my configs/dotfiles, manually tweaking configs is for poor people.
>>107536043>laggy window movementthanks but I will stick to windows 7
>>107538119Keep crying, redditor. I am happy I dont have to deal with your sort
>>107538151>uh acskually laptops are kino guys I CHOSE to get one, it wasn't job forcing me to travel making it necessary.. I love having tiny smashed together hardware with inadequate cooling it's actually GOOD and makes you program BETTER because otherwise it will overheat. This tiny 13 inch monitor, the only one they'd get me? Yeah this actually helps me focus more. I love having to change windows to open documentation, check logs, and keep an eye on things. This just means I can focus on code more. This tiny keyboard? When i contort my hands to type on it I have to think that much more about every key I press.Laptops are just in principle evil and anyone who uses them is because they work for a company who hates them. What you aren't good enough for an office with a desktop?
>>107538127>window movementmost intelligent wintoddler
>>107536043I don't get it, what is this actually trying to demonstrate?
>>107538266They want to tell the world they just catch up to Windows Vista
>>107538187keep coping and dilate
>>107536043do what? take a picture of a window and copy paste it into photoshop?
>>107538346To be readable there needs to be way more blur, a bit darker bacground will also help.
>>107538711>>107538346Now take a screenshot. The point is that the window appears transparent in the screenshot (as expected) and the stuff behind it is *not* visible.Your meme OS fails at either one or both these things.
>>107536043Use case?
>>107536081
>>107536043windows have had this since 1996

>>107536043My judgment of Unix is my own. About six years ago (when I first gotmy workstation), I spent lots of time learning Unix. I got to be fairlygood. Fortunately, most of that garbage has now faded from mem-ory. However, since joining this discussion, a lot of Unix supportershave sent me examples of stuff to “prove” how powerful Unix is.These examples have certainly been enough to refresh my memory:they all do something trivial or useless, and they all do so in a veryarcane manner.One person who posted to the net said he had an “epiphany” from ashell script (which used four commands and a script that looked likeline noise) which renamed all his '.pas' files so that they ended with“.p” instead. I reserve my religious ecstasy for something more thanrenaming files. And, indeed, that is my memory of Unix tools—youspend all your time learning to do complex and peculiar things thatare, in the end, not really all that impressive. I decided I’d ratherlearn to get some real work done.
>>107537106Yeah, because you never do any work on your computer
>>107536491anon, thats really comfy and cute. good post.
okay... yeah, it looks cool, but is it functional? What are the benefits of setting a window transparent (which reduces the brightness and contrast of everything, worsening eye strain, and making it harder to read.) I mean, I get it, no one on /g/ fucking uses their computer for anything so I imagine it doesnt matter if you can't read text, but no one here has friends so what third-party is impressed by this?
why would you ever have a transparent window, again?
>>107536043what is the "webm's" payload?
>>107536043>alpha channel in screenshotsshieeeeeet
screenshots should not preserve alpha though
>>107536043>>107536079If you do retarded shit like that (cool sure tho), you probably don't have sensitive data and no, nobody cares about your porn.Second, transparent windows? Seriously, I'd get it if this was 2011 and you were 15.
>>107536056>>107536195>>107537106nobody is forcing you to use transparent windows. no need to get your clitty in a twist
>>107538774this has been a solved problem on windows for almost 20 years
>>107536043turned off Aero glass because I need all my rams free

>>107536043How do I make spectacle take screenshots instantly? At least on my laptop there's a 4 second delay.
>>107538774>The point is that the window appears transparent in the screenshot (as expected) and the stuff behind it is *not* visible.So, I just need to add a couple lines to a script in order to turn transparency off for the screenshot, and then back on after it is done? Neat.
>>107544134Hope this helps, nugget.
>>107538082welcome to gayland, where you need an audio server to record your own screenmeanwhile Xlibre just werks, you don't even need a compositor, it's optional
>>107544746Wayland is fine I take solace in seeing them have the original vision they created slowly get destroyed and watching them squirm and suffer for their actions. They are being whipped into submission and they are screaming in agony as Gabe looks at them with a vacant smile
Can squirrels truly parse those runes your desktop environment presents? I simply do not believe you.
