+      - updated default styles to be valid wrt background options
+    * Update window transparency immediately when using pseudotransparency,
+      also introduced new key command: SetAlpha [[+-]<int> [[+-]<int>]]

+      - with one argument, changes both focused and unfocused settings the same
+        way
+      - with two arguments, the first changes the focused alpha, and the second
+        changes the unfocused alpha
+       E.g. SetAlpha 127 +5 will set the focused alpha to 127 and increment the
+      unfocused alpha by 5 (until it reaches 255)
