compton i3 tabbed/stacked transparency background image

I have a rule in compton (on i3) that when I am in tabbed/stacked mode, I see not a window from the tabbed container but my background image behind my semitransparent terminal. But for some reason, this is not working when thunar is in the tabbed container. I always see thunar behind the terminal. Why? How to fix? What do you need to give help?



snippet: opacity-rule = [ "0:_NET_WM_STATE@:32a *= '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'" ];



Works for all except thunar (I see thunar and not bg then behind my terminal). Works fully on pc (also for thunar) but works not for thunar on laptop.

          i had kind of the same problem; certain programs didnt seem to take the opacity rule. i changed the opacity-rule to:



          "0:_NET_WM_STATE@[0]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
          
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[1]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
          
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[2]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
          
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[3]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
          
"0:_NET_WM_STATE@[4]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'"


          which seems to have solved the problem

My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell".
