Picom

Can picom work with berry?
Re-edit - I was able to have part of picom working at one time - it seems it is the transparency that is not working.
Fading and shadow worked.
Tried changing settings in the config.
Tried different picom versions.
Here is my picom.conf
https://github.com/arcolinux/arcolinux-berry/blob/main/etc/skel/.config/berry/picom.conf
On the same computer I install Bspwm with same picom application and same picom configuration.
Transparency is possible
This is a known issue and is an artifact of the way that berry draws window decorations. Decorations in berry are simply larger "fake" windows drawn behind each application. It would certainly be possible to refactor berry to use a more complex decoration scheme which doesn't do this, but it's not something I will have time to implement soon. I'm always open to reviewing PRs should someone else implement this...
