Once I did this change your program started working. Few more remarks: * The initial value of the hscale is 0 but the initial opacity of the window is not 0. * It is wrong idea to set the initial opacity of the window to 0 because the window would be invisible (fully transparent). * The transparency/opacity setting works only if you use a compositing window manager (which handles translucent windows). * Setting the window opacity before the window is shown (gtk_widget_show or gtk_widget_show_all) has no effect and may even disable setting the opacity in future. This is the bug which I have discovered recently and did not yet have time to report it.
