-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad
-- > import XMonad.Hooks.FadeInactive
-- >
-- > myLogHook :: X ()
-- > myLogHook = fadeInactiveLogHook fadeAmount
-- >     where fadeAmount = 0xdddddddd
-- >
-- > main = xmonad defaultConfig { logHook = myLogHook }
--
-- fadeAmount can be any integer
-- you will need to have xcompmgr <http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xapps>
-- or something similar for this to do anything
