Compton puts shadow under window
gandalf3 opened this issue · comments
I can tell compton to cease and desist with compton --shadow-exclude 'bounding_shaped' , but I saw a comment in the source which mentioned disabling shadows. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working without configuration on compton's side.
compton --version
v0.1_beta2.5
From memory, I believe there isn't really a standard way of disabling this for all composite managers. Someone reported this before on the (now-deleted) BitBucket repo, after which I made the fix you mentioned. Pretty sure it worked for that person at that time, though. Not sure why it doesn't now.
Actually, looking through the commit history it may be the case that I was working on this and simply never quite finished it. I don't remember (it was over a year ago...).
Ah well, certainly not a big deal. Disabling shadows on shaped windows sounds like a generally fine idea anyway, heh.
Added a note in the README for now; I'll leave this open for investigation later ("soon™").
