Transparent x11 window setting using compton

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Below command works well on my other boards(Intel with Fedora and Ubuntu)

$ compton -b --backend xrender

 

This command make windows background transparent so it doesn't hide lower window completely.

But same command doesn't work on RK3288/RK3399  board.

 

Any idea what should be done to achieve same.  Does anyone have idea if anything customized in x-server related to this?

Hey

 

I use Compton with Openbox on all my boards worth having a small DE on.

 

Here's what I place in the autostart: compton -b -d :0 &

 

Here's my ~/.config/compton.conf

shadow = true;
no-dnd-shadow = true;
no-dock-shadow = true;
clear-shadow = true;
shadow-radius = 3;
shadow-offset-x = -3;
shadow-offset-y = -3;
shadow-opacity = 0.55;
shadow-red = 0.0;
shadow-green = 0.0;
shadow-blue = 0.0;
shadow-exclude = [ "name = 'Notification'", "class_g = 'Conky'", "class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'", "class_g = 'Cairo-clock'" ];
shadow-ignore-shaped = false;
menu-opacity = 0.94;
inactive-opacity = 0.85;
active-opacity = 1.0;
frame-opacity = 1.0;
inactive-opacity-override = false;
alpha-step = 0.06;
inactive-dim = 0.0;
blur-kern = "3x3box";
blur-background-exclude = [ "window_type = 'dock'", "window_type = 'desktop'" ];
fading = true;
fade-in-step = 0.03;
fade-out-step = 0.03;
fade-exclude = [ ];
backend = "xrender";
mark-wmwin-focused = true;
mark-ovredir-focused = true;
detect-rounded-corners = true;
detect-client-opacity = true;
refresh-rate = 0;
vsync = "none";
dbe = false;
paint-on-overlay = true;
focus-exclude = [ "class_g = 'Cairo-clock'" ];
detect-transient = true;
detect-client-leader = true;
invert-color-include = [ ];
glx-copy-from-front = false;
glx-swap-method = "undefined";
wintypes : 
{
  tooltip : 
  {
    fade = true;
    shadow = false;
    opacity = 0.75;
    focus = true;
  };
};
fade-delta = 4;

 

Pulled this from my RK3399
