NAME
xcompmgr - sample X compositing manager
SYNOPSIS
xcompmgr [-d display] [-r radius] [-o opacity] [-l left-offset] [-t top-offset] [-acCfFnsS]
DESCRIPTION
xcompmgr is a sample compositing manager for X servers supporting the XFIXES, DAMAGE, and COMPOSITE extensions. It enables basic eye-candy effects.
OPTIONS
-d display | Specifies the display to manage. |
-r radius | Specifies the blur radius for client-side shadows. |
-o opacity | Specifies the opacity for client-side shadows. |
-l left-offset | |
Specifies the left offset for client-side shadows. | |
-t top-offset | |
Specifies the top offset for client-side shadows. | |
-I fade-in-step | |
Specifies the opacity change between steps while fading in. | |
-O fade-out-step | |
Specifies the opacity change between steps while fading out. | |
-D fade-delta | |
Specifies the time (in milliseconds) between steps in a fade. | |
-a | Automatic server-side compositing. This instructs the server to use the standard composition rules. Useful for debugging. |
-c | Client-side compositing with soft shadows and translucency support. |
-f | When -c is specified, enables a smooth fade effect for transient windows like menus, and for all windows on hide and restore events. |
-n | Simple client-side compositing. |
-s | Server-side compositing with hard-edged shadows. |
-C | When -c is specified, attempts to avoid painting shadows on panels and docks. |
-F | When -f is specified, also enables the fade effect when windows change their opacity, as with transset(1). |
-S | Enables synchronous operation. Useful for debugging. |
