   Hi there I've noticed there are some basic Desktop effects in SliTaz 3.0 Cooking. Like shadows and fading which I love and also opacity for windows. How can I make it so these effects are default? Already set when I login? Also to make windows transparent I have to choose 'set opacity (click)' then click a window, I have to repeat this for every window. Is there anyway I can do that will make everything transparent at once?

   Open a terminal and type:
   leafpad $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart.sh and uncomment (remove the # before) xcompmgr -c -r 10 &

   I've already took this step but it still leaves me having to click on a window at startup and then repeating the steps to make each and every window transparent. I was looking for a way to make all the windows I open permananetly transparent.

   Thanks so far!

   From a quick look, there isn't really a command that does it automatically, but you could look through obconf to see if openbox comes with an option to render windows with an set opacity level.

   Marking this as resolved as it doesn't look like there is an easy way to do it. I'll have a look through obconf sometime it's not a deal breaker so not too fussed.

   The code says it all. It needs python-gtk and python-gnome2 to work. The last package also means it needs GNOME installed and as your default enviroment to work, meaning this script won't work well for SliTaz or OpenBox.
