Hi.
I've made a short patch that enables semi-transparent background for st-0.4.1.
The same mechanism should work with recent commits.
Some important notes:
1) This changes background opacity only.
2) The color designated by "defaultbg" are modified during the initialization,
so you should add another color to be used as background. (check st.c:2360 to
see what actually happens)
3) There's a bug in this patch: if st is embeded into an ARGB-enabled window,
it crashes. (What an irony.)
4) The maximum value of 'alpha' is 0xff (= OPAQUE)
Regards
Eon
