Set window transparency in Gnome

I'd like to make my IDE window partially transparent. I achieved this in Unity using compiz as described in the accepted answer to: How to make a window transparent in gnome . However I don't believe compiz will work for this with gnome unless I'm mistaken. There WAS a gnome extension for this but it has been abandoned and the github repo is gone. Anyone know of a way to achieve this? I'm on ubuntu 17.10
