What Window Opacity Control Does
Adjustable Transparency
Control window opacity from 20% (nearly transparent) to 100% (fully solid). Find the perfect balance between content visibility and background reference.
Quick Keyboard Control
Use ⌘+⌥+O to decrease opacity by 10%, ⌘+⌥+P to increase by 10%. Instant adjustments without breaking your flow.
Real-Time Preview
See the transparency change instantly as you adjust. The percentage display shows your current opacity level at all times.
Persistent Settings
Your preferred opacity level is saved automatically. Restart the app and it remembers your setting.
