Window Transparency Toggle Script

A customizable AutoHotkey (AHK) script that allows you to toggle and adjust the transparency of the active window in real-time. The script provides visual feedback via a tooltip showing the current transparency level and offers intuitive keyboard controls to manage window opacity.

Features

• Toggle Window Transparency: Easily activate or deactivate the transparency effect on any window.
• Adjust Transparency in Real-Time: Control the opacity of the active window using your scroll wheel.

  CTRL + ALT + Right Mouse Button (RMB)
  Activates or deactivates window transparency for the currently focused window. When enabled, a tooltip will show the current transparency level.

• Decrease Transparency:
  CTRL + ALT + Scroll Down

How It Works

1. Activation:
   Hold CTRL + ALT and right-click anywhere inside the window you wish to modify. This enables transparency with an initial value of 220.

2. Adjusting Transparency:
   Use CTRL + ALT + Scroll Down to make the window more transparent, or CTRL + ALT + Scroll Up to make it more opaque.

3. Tooltip:
   When transparency is adjusted, a tooltip will appear near your mouse cursor showing the current transparency level. The tooltip disappears after 3 seconds.

Customization

• Transparency Range:
  The transparency level starts at 220 (semi-transparent). You can adjust it from 0 (completely transparent) to 255 (completely opaque).

• Tooltip Duration:
  By default, the tooltip will disappear after 1 second. You can adjust this duration by modifying the titleChangeDuration variable in the script (in milliseconds).
