* shadows are now enabled for argb windows, e.g. terminals with transparency
|
||||
* removed serverside shadows (and simple compositing) to clean the code,
|
||||
the only option that remains is clientside shadows
|
||||
|
||||
The above features give compton a feature set similar to the xfce compositor.
|
||||
|
||||
Compton has only been tested with openbox so far, but frame transparency
|
||||
should work with any window manager that properly sets `_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS`.
|
||||
* configuration files (specified with `--config`)
|
||||
* colored shadows (with `--shadow-[red/green/blue] value`)
|
||||
* a new fade system
|
||||
* vsync (still under development)
|
||||
* several more options
|
||||
|
||||
## Fixes from the original xcompmgr:
|
||||
|
||||
* fixed a segfault when opening certain window types
|
||||
* fixed a memory leak caused by not freeing up shadows (from the freedesktop
|
||||
repo)
|
||||
* fixed the conflict with chromium and similar windows
|
||||
* [many more](https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues)

### Format of a condition:
|
||||
|
||||
`condition = <target>:<type>[<flags>]:<pattern>`
|
||||
|
||||
`<target>` is one of `"n"` (window name), `"i"` (window class
|
||||
instance), and `"g"` (window general class)
|
||||
|
||||
`<type>` is one of `"e"` (exact match), `"a"` (match anywhere),
|
||||
`"s"` (match from start), `"w"` (wildcard), and `"p"` (PCRE
|
||||
regular expressions, if compiled with the support).
|
||||
|
||||
`<flags>` could be a series of flags. Currently the only defined
|
||||
flag is `"i"` (ignore case).
|
||||
|
||||
`<pattern>` is the actual pattern string.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
A more robust
|
||||
[sample configuration file](https://raw.github.com/chjj/compton/master/compton.sample.conf)
|
||||
is available in the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example
|
||||
|
||||
~/compton.conf:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Shadows
|
||||
shadow = true;
|
||||
|
||||
# Opacity
|
||||
inactive-opacity = 0.8;
|
||||
frame-opacity = 0.7;
|
||||
|
||||
# Fades
|
||||
fading = true;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run with:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
$ compton --config ~/compton.conf
|
||||
```
