WindowOpacity

WindowOpacity

is a notebook option that determines the overall opacity of a displayed window.

Details

  • The settings for WindowOpacity run 0 to 1, with 0 representing perfect transparency.
  • WindowOpacity affects all elements of a window, not just its content area.
  • WindowOpacity may not be available on some computer systems, or with some window environments.

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (2)

Create a semitransparent notebook:

Wolfram Language code: CreateDocument[{}, WindowOpacity -> 0.5]

Modify opacity of the current notebook:

Wolfram Language code: SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], WindowOpacity -> 0.8]

Reset to full opacity:

Wolfram Language code: SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], WindowOpacity -> 1]

Neat Examples  (1)

Dynamically change the opacity of the current notebook:

Wolfram Language code: Manipulate[SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], WindowOpacity -> x];x, {{x, 0.8}, 0.5, 1}]
