how to add baralpha/borderalpha values to the xresources

[shan995-cell]

i have the alpha patch on my build of dwm, and my goal is to edit the baralpha and borderalpha values in xresources like so:

*dwm.baralpha:             0xf2
*dwm.borderalpha:          OPAQUE

the xresources patch provides such feature, in config.def.h:

/* alpha */
static unsigned int baralpha    = 0xf2;
static unsigned int borderalpha = OPAQUE;

ResourcePref resources[] = {
	{ "baralpha",               INTEGER,   &baralpha },
	{ "borderalpha",            INTEGER,   &borderalpha },
};

however, it throws errors in compilation...

how can i achieve this?

To be honest it might in theory be possible to do something like this, but it is highly likely going to be a lot more effort than it is worth.

In practice you are unlikely to ever have the need to change the alpha value.
