I guess it looks ugly because some windows will be too translucent. In
that case I don't think an opacify_non_opaque option is the correct way
to go. e.g. a window that is 99% opaque will hardly be too translucent.
A min_opacity (0-100%) option that is used to determine if a window
should be made more translucent or not might be more appropriate.
