1 Alpha Focus Highlight Patch 2 =========================== 3 4 Description 5 ----------- 6 This patch allows the user to specify two distinct opacity values; one for the 7 focused- and one for unfocused windows' background. This enables the user to 8 spot the focused window at a glance. 9 10 The *Alpha Highlight Focus Patch* patch is based on the 11 [Alpha Patch](https://st.suckless.org/patches/alpha/), 12 which is already applied in the patch file below. Most of the work has been performed by the 13 original authors of the Alpha Patch. 14 15 Screenshot 16 ---------- 17 ![Screenshot](alphaFocus.gif) 18 19 Contributions + Bug Reports 20 --------------------------- 21 * [Issues](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AalphaFocusHighlight) 22 23 24 Notes Alpha Patch 25 ----------------- 26 * Note that *you need an X composite manager* (e.g. compton, xcompmgr) to make 27 this patch effective. 28 * The alpha value affects the default background only. 29 * The color designated by 'defaultbg' should not be used elsewhere. 30 * Embedding might fail after applying this patch. 31 32 33 Notes 34 ----- 35 * In i3WM, the focus event is triggered twice for one specific window on a workspace (root); 36 hence the alpha values are applied twice which appears as blinking. 37 * The patch is applied both to a non-patched version and to a patched version of st 38 and can be tried out [here](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st). 39 40 41 Download 42 -------- 43 * [st-alphafocushighlight-20191107-2b8333f.diff (attached)](st-alphafocushighlight-20191107-2b8333f.diff) 44 45 **Most Recent (github)**: 46 * [st-alphaFocusHighlight-20191107-2b8333f.diff (Github)](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st/releases/download/patchesV1/st-alphaFocusHighlight-20191107-2b8333f.diff) 47 48 49 Authors of the Alpha Patch 50 -------------------------- 51 * Eon S.
