+ POPUP OPACITY *popup-opacity*
1059
+
1060
+ A popup window can be made semi-transparent by setting the "opacity" option.
1061
+ The opacity value ranges from 0 to 100:
1062
+ 0 Fully transparent - the popup background is invisible and the
1063
+ text behind the popup is fully visible.
1064
+ 100 Fully opaque (default) - the popup is not transparent at all.
1065
+ 1-99 Partially transparent - the popup background is blended with
1066
+ the underlying text, making both partially visible.
1067
+
1068
+ The transparency effect requires using the GUI or having 'termguicolors'
1069
+ enabled in the terminal. Without it, the opacity setting has no effect.
1070
+
1071
+ When a popup is transparent:
1072
+ - The popup's background color is blended with the background text
1073
+ - The popup's text (foreground) remains fully visible and unblended
1074
+ - Text behind the popup is visible through transparent areas
1075
+ - The more transparent the popup (lower opacity), the more clearly the
1076
+ background text can be seen
1077
+
1078
+ This can be useful for:
1079
+ - Creating overlay windows that don't completely obscure underlying text
1080
+ - Showing contextual information without blocking the view
1081
+ - Creating visual effects and modern UI designs
1082
+
1083
+ Example with 50% opacity: >
1084
+ let winid = popup_create('Semi-transparent text', #{
1085
+ \ line: 5,
1086
+ \ col: 10,
1087
+ \ opacity: 50,
1088
+ \ })
1089
+
1090
+ The opacity can be changed dynamically using |popup_setoptions()|: >
1091
+ call popup_setoptions(winid, #{opacity: 80})
