<div dir="ltr"><div>I was wondering if it is possible to do translucency and alpha transparency (same thing?) between a window and its re-parented parent window via a compositing window manager.</div><div><br></div><div>I have tried to use xcompmgr and compiz. xcompmgr seems to refuse to composite render windows that don't have the root window as it's parent. And compiz doesn't seem to work at all (i must be missing something)</div>

Is there an obvious solution that I am missing? </div><div><br></div><div>Also, I have an SO question that relates to this issue, it also contains example code that demonstrates my issue: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19369118/embedding-x11-translucent-windows">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19369118/embedding-x11-translucent-windows</a></div>
