Add an option to turn on the use of the X window's alpha channel in multiwindow mode, i.e. this uses the X window's alpha channel for compositing into the native desktop. This works on W7/Vista (using DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow()), and Windows 10 (using the undocumented SetWindowCompositionAttribute()), but not on Windows 8/8.1 -compositewm must be enabled for this to be useful, as we only have a pixmap with an alpha channel for the X window in that case. The framebuffer/root window doesn't have one (unless perhaps you are using the rootless extension, maybe...). v2: Update meson.build Future work: A window property to control use of alpha? Option to turn off blur on W7/Vista Implement _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY |

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
