🔦 Flash Focus

Flash focus creates an opacity flash animation when a client is focused.

Usage

There are two ways in which you can use this module. You can enable it by calling the enable() function:

bling.module.flash_focus.enable()

This connects to the focus signal of a client, which means that the flash focus will activate with whatever method you use to focus the client.

The other way is to call the function itself like this: bling.module.flash_focus.flashfocus(someclient). This allows you to activate on certain keybinds like so:

awful.key({modkey}, "Up",
    function()
        awful.client.focus.bydirection("up")
        bling.module.flash_focus.flashfocus(client.focus)
     end, {description = "focus up", group = "client"})

Theme Variables

theme.flash_focus_start_opacity = 0.6 -- the starting opacity
theme.flash_focus_step = 0.01         -- the step of animation
