Set window transparency in Gnome
I'd like to make my IDE window partially transparent. I achieved this in Unity using compiz as described in the accepted answer to: How to make a window transparent in gnome. However I don't believe compiz will work for this with gnome unless I'm mistaken. There WAS a gnome extension for this but it has been abandoned and the github repo is gone. Anyone know of a way to achieve this? I'm on ubuntu 17.10

You could change window opacity/transparency by changing property _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY via xprop command.
Run:
xprop -format _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0x7FFFFFFF
and then click on window to set it to 50% opacity.
0x7FFFFFFF- 50% opacity
0xFFFFFFFF- 100% opacity
Set opacity via providing window id (obtained from xwininfo):
xprop -id 0x3a00006 -format _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0x7FFFFFFF
