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 sup-
port.
-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. This is the default mode.
-s Server-side compositing with hard-edged shadows.
-C When -c is specified, attempts to avoid painting shadows on pan-
els 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.
BUGS
Probably. Please report any you find to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
