You can use it with any window manager, such as fluxbox, to +provide transparencies. xcompmgr was designed as an example program and +cairo-compmgr is designed as an actual standalone composite manager. + +Warning: this plays a bit weird with fluxbox. Tabs of grouped windows will +be drawn under windows if cycling through with alt+tab. Additionally when a +sub sub root menu loops back over it self, it will be drawn under the other +menus. Other than that, it's an added improvement in visual effects over +xcompmgr. + +This requires vala. libgtop, glade3, GConf, and gobject-introspection are +optional requirements, but gobject-introspection is not recommend since +upstream says support for it is still unstable. |
