The /setlayer command can be used to change the transparency of a given window. If no window is provided, the transparency setting will apply to the main MDI window. The setlayer works on all windows as long as the full name is provided, for example "Status Window" for the status window.

Transparency

Transparency can be between 0 and 255, where 0 = 100% transparency.

Parameters

• <0-255> - alpha channel value
• [@window / #channel / query / windowName] - The window to apply the transparency to
