Describe the problem/motivation

gonna emphasize on the "AND FOCUSED WINDOW"

There has been a number of request on this exception. However what happen is that the focused window is also included in the transparency settings. Snipet summary:

`window_effects: focused_window: transparency: enabled: false other_windows: transparency: enabled: false'

'window_rules:

  • commands: ["set-transparency --opacity 50%"] match:

    • window_process: { regex: ".*" }
  • commands: ["set-transparency --opacity 100%"] match:

    • window_process: { equals: "opera" }'

Describe the solution you'd like

So yea, it would be great if the focused window is included in the exception as well.
