Error adjusting Ptyxis transparency

General
1

I’m having trouble with Ptyxis transparency. I’ve read the setup article and I’ve been trying the ujust command (ujust ptyxis-transparency opacity="0.95") but I continually get this error:

$ ujust ptyxis-transparency opacity="0.50"
++ echo opacity=0.50
++ grep -v '^[.0-9]*$'
+ [[ -n opacity=0.50 ]]
+ printf 'Value must be numeric: %s.\n' opacity=0.50
Value must be numeric: opacity=0.50.

I’ve tried sudo, I’ve tried with quotes and without around the number.

I’m probably missing something fundamentally obvious, but at this point I need help with where to go from here.

Thanks,

ujust ptyxis-transparency .50

Thanks for this. Works as it’s supposed to. I obviously need to do more reading on how to use ujust.

I appreciate your time @Plyply.

I’m actually having trouble getting the transparency to work as I’d expect. When I put in the above command ujust ptyxis-transparency .50 and variations of the value, I don’t see the whole window go transparent, just the outer edges. Is this a bug or does something else need to be set?

Have you tried not using custom gtk themes or shell scripts? Maybe something is interfering.

Ah, yeah, that was it. I’ll need to build in an exception for this case into the theme. Boo. Thanks!
