Steps to reproduce: 1. Open up a bunch of windows (say, four xterms) 2. Adjust their opacity to be all over the scale 3. Activate scale 4. MouseOver the windows. Note how the in-window contents move to 100% opacity, while the window decoration stays at the opacity it had pre-scale. 4-fixed. It would look more unweird if the borders had their opacity adjusted the same way the contents did. (version: 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4)
I can't reproduce that. Scale doesn't change the opacity of hovered windows here, it only changes opacity and brightness of non-hovered windows. Do you have any special plugins enabled?
Here's my plugin list (with abbreviated names; I'm a lazy typer): opacity/bright/sat color filter expo deskwall bicubic filter animations fading windows window decos wobbly windows jpeg png text dbus inotify mouse pos poll regex match resize info scale addons scale win title filter sess mgmt vid playback workarounds extra wm actions maximumize place windows resize window scale static app switcher window rules move window I don't know what special means, so I can't point any of them out. And you did turn the opacity down unsuably, *insanely* low on one of the hovered windows (before hovering, of course)?
Created attachment 20695 [details] mini-screencast showing it happening Here's a short video showing it happening. This is with fresh-outta'-git compiz. Note how the almost-transparent window becomes jet black as I mouseOver it. Note also how it slides into place, then jumps from being dark to being almost-transparent again.
