Hi,
I recently switched over to qtile from i3 and I am really impressed by the
project. Was just wanting a little advice about my compositor. I am using
the compton-tryone fork. I just added the same config file I used in i3 to
the autostart.sh script I created for Qtile. Everything works fine except
my inactive windows are not transparent. If i change the config to make
active windows transparent all my windows become transparent. It seems as
if even though one window is "focused", all my windows in a group are
considered active. Is there any advice I can get? Ive read the
documentation and cant seem to get anywhere. Thanks for any advice in
advance. Here is my compton.conf
Opacity
menu-opacity = 0.8;
inactive-opacity = 0.8;
active-opacity = 0.0;
frame-opacity = 0.7;
inactive-opacity-override = true;
alpha-step = 0.06;
# inactive-dim = 0.2;
# inactive-dim-fixed = true;
blur-background = true;
# blur-background-frame = true;
blur-method = "kawase";
# blur-strength = 15;
blur-kern = "3x3box";
# blur-kern = "5,5,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1";
# blur-background-fixed = true;
blur-background-exclude = [
"window_type = 'dock'",
"window_type = 'desktop'",
"_GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS@:c"
];
# opacity-rule = [ "80:class_g = 'URxvt'" ];
And my config.py
