.Xresources, Compton do I need them at all?

Hello everyone!
Do I need to add anything to .Xresources file if I don't use urxvt terminal (my term is VTE based) or do I need it for any other apps/system?
and for Compton - I can't find any purpose for it under Openbox. What it can exactly do under Openbox + GTK?
sorry for ma english.

If the programs you use rely on .Xresources, you might want to modify it.

This is a impossible question to answer. We don't know the programs you use and if you want to customize them.

But how do I know which programs use Xresources, expect xsetscreensaver and urxvt terminal?

You have to read the program's documentation.

Initially, there was no .Xresources on my machine. I wanted to customize urxvt, so I changed .Xresources. As long as there is no program you want to customize, you should not be concerned with this file.

As for the second part of your post: compton is a composite manager. It is responsible for eye candy like transparency and fading.
