[Question] If HexChat is disabled from systray, and the opacity is
completely up, can I edit a file to fix?
reddit / irc

A somewhat under-considered course of action led to this. My HexChat
windows are invisible, and unclickable. Can't alt-tab to them, not
sure where the prefs file is stored; uninstalled manually, etc.

`hexchat.conf` in `~/.config/hexchat` or `%appdata%\HexChat`. See
`gui_transparency`, 255 being full opaque.

Also feel free to [report an issue
upstream](https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues) to make it so the
value of 0 is not actually possible.
