No Transparency in EXWM about projecteur HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks. Just running "xcompmgr -c &" before or after starting projecteur solved the issue. Works like a charm!

Hi @gyps, please have a look at issue #10 , do you have a compositor running? (Necessary for transparency)

Quote from @rj-jesus :

If I'm not mistaken you need to be running a compositing manager.
Please try again after running for instance xcompmgr -c -t-6 -l-6 -o.1.

Note to self: Definitely put info about compositing manager in README.md and see if there is a non-intrusive way to warn the user like in pull request #37

from projecteur.

Thanks for this super-fast reply!!
I suppose not. EXWM seems to support third party compositing managers.
I never used one any suggestion which one to use?

from projecteur.

I personally use mostly GNOME and sometimes KDE or Xfce - so I can't give you a suggestion here - hopefully somebody else. In ch11ng/exwm#24 somebody mentions xcompmgr - you could try that.
