Trailfocus with mouse hover!

DDave has mailed me and Quinn a patch to allow the windows that are not focussed to become opaque on hover! this is really cool if you find that you have a window mess! I applied his patch to the latest QuinnSource and compiled and it works really nicely!

Edit: he has now posted it to the forums too

Basically, transparency follows the mouse but focus doesn't. There are separate keys in Gconf to set the transparency of the unhovered but focused window (hover_focus_transparency) and the unfocussed and unhovered windows (hover_transparency). The hovered window is opaque.

He has attached a 'swap in lib' to this post
