I'm using the i3 tiling window manager. As it doesn't do compositing, I've enabled the xcompmgr
compositor in my ~/.i3/config file as well as feh
to display a wallpaper:
exec --no-startup-id xcompmgr -c -C -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55
exec feh --bg-scale ~/Downloads/Arch-Linux-Bluewave.jpg
Now lxterminal
supports translucency etc. but when I arrange my terminals vertically, some ghosting, tearing and decoration artifacts from other workspaces appear to the top right - and disappear as soon as the window is tiled horizontally. Furthermore, when transmission-gtk
"floats" a dialog box, moving that box around leaves ghosting in the form of tiny horizontal lines which remain until some refresh.
Is there any workaround?
compton
as my compositor. To get rid of it, I simply shut-down and restart compton and it goes away immediately. In my particular config (which came standard with Manjaro), this is done using$mod+t
to shut down compton and$mod+Ctrl+t
to start it up again.
