Transparent x11 window setting using compton

[naseeb]

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 &
