    421421The X.org X11 server provides a COMPOSITE extension that allows applications to have true translucency, but it is X.org-specific and it requires support at the GTK+ level (if it is to be per-widget).  Support for this is apparently scheduled for inclusion GDK 2.12, but we are not currently interested in implementing support for it (note that a plugin could provide this functionality).  Pseudo-translucency offered by other programs (by copying a section of your background image, tinting it, and plastering it onto a window) will never be implemented in Pidgin.

     423Note that if you are using a compisiting window manager such as Compiz, you may have global support for modifying the opacity of any window.  For example, in Compiz, the default method to changing the opacity of a window is Alt+Mouse Scroll Wheel.  This method does not require extra support from the applications.
