add transparency to the icon of the file that is cutted (like in windows)

I have no idea what you are talking about.
Comment 2 Marco Di Pauli 2007-05-19 16:55:54 UTC 
When I select an icon on the  ms windows desktop and I press ctrl+x, the icon become 50% transparent, when I press ctrl+v the icon is pasted and it becomes visibile with 100% opacity. I found it a good thing so I can see the files that are "cutted" in that moment, in metacity cutted files are like non-cutted files.
Comment 3 Elijah Newren 2007-05-19 16:59:44 UTC 
Thanks for the additional explanation.  This is unrelated to metacity, as metacity doesn't draw the desktop; I'm reassigning.
Comment 4 Marco Di Pauli 2007-05-19 17:08:02 UTC 
Ok sorry, I am quite a newbie but I want to contribute :) Where can I report future suggestion related to the "desktop-drawning"?
Comment 5 Elijah Newren 2007-05-19 22:07:58 UTC 
I already reassigned your bug report to nautilus, the module responsible for drawing icons on the desktop.

"Given discussions at guadec i think we're moving towards a shelf-based
system instead, which solves this in a different way."

Nobody implemented anything like this (yet), so resorting to semi-transparent icons may be a good idea. Alex?
Comment 9 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-02-19 17:21:35 UTC 
Marking as a duplicate of bug #110283, as both are a way to indicate a file has been cut.
