(Xcompmgr) fade out effect doesn't work for closing windows

If you iconify window it hides with beatiful fade-out effect.
It also works with popups, toolkits elements (Qt, Gtk and so on).

But when i close window fade-out effect does not work!
It seems something gone wrong.

I use  xcompmgr with openbox. Here is absolutely working autostart-script:

# This shell script is run before Openbox launches.
# Environment variables set here are passed to the Openbox session.

# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null 2>&1 && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

sh ~/.fehbg
tint2 &
xcompmgr -f -F

Everything works fine except closed windows dont fade-out! Help, please.

Re: (Xcompmgr) fade out effect doesn't work for closing windows

You probably need to play with the xcompmgr options some more time. See "man xcompmgr".

Here is mine (took quite some time to get there):

xcompmgr -CcfF -I-.05 -O-.10 -D3 -t-1 -l-3 -r4.2 -o.5 -m.85

By the way - this is xcompmgr-dana. You may also want to try dcompmgr-git from the AUR.
