You can add automatic transparency....
Nice script. I'm using 0.9 1 0.1 which gives just a little transparency on unfocused windows and a very fast transition.
]]>xcompmgr -cCfF -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 -D6I just launch:
xcompmgrand I don't get the bad effects, need to see which effect is causing it.
edit: if you still want to use the crunchbang launcher you can edit /usr/bin/crunchbang/xcompmgr-crunchbang to change the settings there
edit again: testing it out and I realized it still does it, just with the default settings it's fast enough I didn't notice before
]]>Why do I sometimes see a bunch of static like you're changing the TV channel before a dialog or popup appears? Only happens with composting on. I noticed also with compiz as well under ubuntu.
]]>That helps alot \^_^/
]]>Is there any way to change the behavior of compositing effects? Removing the fade effect perhaps or adding other compositing features?
Hello taintedsushi :)
Compositing is handled by xcompmgr. It is possible to change its behaviour by modifying the arguments with which you call it. For more information about the available arguments, enter the following command in your terminal:
man xcompmgrHope this helps!
@scythe: Whoa, nice script, thank you for sharing, I will be sure to check it out. :)

select ( undef, undef, undef, $sleep_val );
}You use it like this
perl focustran.pl <value to make transparent windows> <value to make opaque windows> <value to wait between loops> (I recommend 0.3-0.4)I hope that helps. It'd be cool to see those in #! 9.04, heh.
