Maybe translucent would be the better word. I have a theme, that until
some recent problems with beryl (off currently) would allow me to see
things underneath decorations for none active windows. I liked this.

Beyond some simple helps, it was eye candy, yes, but useful.

Purely transparent, obviously that would be a problem.
