### Transparency
2018-01-21 20:15:29 +01:00
If you want transparency, run the following. (You will also need to have a composite manager, such as compton or xcompmgr running for the transparency to appear.)
```
make clean
patch < patches/transparency.diff
make
sudo make install
```
And to remove transparency, just unapply the diff patch and reinstall.
```
make clean
patch -R < patches/transparency.diff
make
sudo make install
```
