Eclipse Luna - is is possible to make "Find/replace" dialog transparent?


I am using Eclipse Luna with EPIC plugin under CentOS 6.3.

Is is possible to make "Find/replace" dialog (shown when clicking CTRL + F) transparent, so I can see matches below it when clicking on "Find" button?


Solution

  • Assuming you are you using GNOME, I do not believe you can do it for a specific dialog. It is either the entire application or nothing. :(

    Strangely enough I have done something similar in Windows OS. There is a desktop tool called Dexpot, which has "Desktop Rules" feature that can apply transparency rule to dialog with a specific title.
