    ;; C-h f xcb change property
    ;; Found xcb:ChangeProperty
    ;; Let the hacking begin

    ;; Found xcb:ewmh:-atoms
    ;; added opacity to list
    ;; called init function xcb:ewmh:init
    ;; found opacity is cardinal atom through xprop

    ;; example c call: https://github.com/ehntoo/unagi/blob/master/plugins/opacity.c#L71
    ;; True example: https://github.com/polybar/polybar/blob/ca4426a9620f4db05a0117282fbed3a32a14ec92/src/x11/ewmh.cpp#L168

    ;; reading from transset
    ;; So in C with Xlib, NWWO (my new abbreviation) is essentially an unsigned int.
    ;; max value is completely opaque, min is the opposite.
    ;; However, it's converted to a char array when passed to xlib xchangeproperty
