Toggling Opacity requires application restart

[timlkelly]

When toggling the window_opacity from on to off and restarting Yabai, the opacity of the windows does not change. Windows continue to be transparent.

Quitting and reopening a specific Application will fix this for said application, however, other applications will continue to be transparent until they been restarted.

This isn't a critical issue and I am unsure if this is in Yabai's realm or just part of how macOS behaves, but I wanted to bring this to your attention.

macOS 10.15.5
yabai 3.2.0

In the meantime, you can use this:

yabai -m query --windows |
  jq '.[].id' |
  xargs -I{} yabai -m window {} --opacity 1.0

Read as: Query information about all windows, and modify the query result to show only the id field, then for every window id set the corresponding windows opacity to 1.0.
