+transset-df
+
+This is a patched version of xorg's transset I wanted to integrate
+transset into my windowmanager and to be able to set and unset
+transparency by just pressing a key. To make that possible I added
+several different 'select methods'. The first one was 'select by
+pointing' which lets the user run transset directly on the window
+currently under the cursor without having to click. Later select by name
+and id was added after inspiration from other transset patches.
+
+In the future I guess it's meant for the windowmanagers to handle
+transparency. Then we will hopefully see these functions and many
+other now imposible function. This will however require you to wait
+untill this is implemented in your favorite wm. This patch is a way of
+"scratching where it itches", by creating a usefull integration with every
+windowmanager without changing any wm-code. The "unix way" of doing it :)
