The script provides visual feedback via a tooltip showing the current transparency level and offers intuitive keyboard controls to manage window opacity.\n\n![Transparency Toggle](./screenshot.PNG)\n\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- **Toggle Window Transparency**: Easily activate or deactivate the transparency effect on any window.\n- **Adjust Transparency in Real-Time**: Control the opacity of the active window using your scroll wheel.\n- **Tooltip Feedback**: Displays the current transparency level in a tooltip near your mouse cursor.\n- **Full Transparency Control**: Adjust window transparency from fully opaque (255) to completely transparent (0).\n\n---\n\n## Controls\n\n- **Toggle Transparency**:  \n  `CTRL + ALT + Right Mouse Button (RMB)`  \n  Activates or deactivates window transparency for the currently focused window. When enabled, a tooltip will show the current transparency level.\n\n- **Decrease Transparency**:  \n  `CTRL + ALT + Scroll Down`  \n  Decreases the transparency by 10 units (down to 0, which is fully transparent).\n\n- **Increase Transparency**:  \n  `CTRL + ALT + Scroll Up`  \n  Increases the transparency by 10 units (up to 255, which is fully opaque).\n\n---\n\n## How It Works\n\n1. **Activation**:  \n   Hold `CTRL + ALT` and right-click anywhere inside the window you wish to modify. This enables transparency with an initial value of 220.\n   \n2. **Adjusting Transparency**:  \n   Use `CTRL + ALT + Scroll Down` to make the window more transparent, or `CTRL + ALT + Scroll Up` to make it more opaque.\n   \n3. **Tooltip**:  \n   When transparency is adjusted, a tooltip will appear near your mouse cursor showing the current transparency level. The tooltip disappears after 3 seconds.\n\n---\n\n## Customization\n\n- **Transparency Range**:  \n  The transparency level starts at 220 (semi-transparent). You can adjust it from 0 (completely transparent) to 255 (completely opaque).\n\n- **Tooltip Duration**:  \n  By default, the tooltip will disappear after 1 second. You can adjust this duration by modifying the `titleChangeDuration` variable in the script (in milliseconds).\n\n---\n\n## Requirements (ONLY THE .AHK FILE)\n\n- **AutoHotkey**: You need to have AutoHotkey installed to run the .ahk script.  \n  [Download AutoHotkey](https://www.autohotkey.com/)\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Install [AutoHotkey](https://www.autohotkey.com/).\n2. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.\n3. Right-click the `*.ahk` script file and select **Run Script** to start controlling window transparency.\n\nYou can also fully integrate the script with your system by placing it into your startup folder so you dont need to execute it everytime:\n1. Press `Win + R`\n2. Type `shell:startup`\n3. Put the script inside the folder (It works with both files).\n\n---\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\n- [AutoHotkey](https://www.autohotkey.com/): The scripting language used to create this tool.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fyodaaawg%2Fwindowtransparency","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fyodaaawg%2Fwindowtransparency","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fyodaaawg%2Fwindowtransparency/lists"}
