To make transparency work you have to have a compositor running such as xcompmgr which comes with most Pups though probably will not be loaded automatically, and you have to add an opacity tag to your theme wherever you need it, like this:

Code: Select all

<WindowStyle>
    <Font>DejaVu Sans -10:Bold</Font>
    <Width>3</Width>
    <Height>22</Height>     
    <Active>
       <Text>#f8f1f1</Text>
       <Title>Grey:Black</Title>
       <Outline>black</Outline>
    </Active>
    <Inactive>
    <Opacity>.9</Opacity>
       <Text>#000000</Text>
       <Title>#ebe4e4:#c0bebe</Title>         
       <Outline>#ebe4e4</Outline>
    </Inactive>
</WindowStyle>
Opacity is set as a numeric value where 1 is opaque, 0.1 is transparent.

cheers
