Hi, I just switched from desktop environment (GNOME) to window manager (bspwm). The workflow is fantastic. However, there is one issue annoying me. The refresh rate or rendering rate seems a bit slow. When I use chrome to scroll up/down a page or watch a video, I can feel that things are not that smooth compared with GNOME. Although, it will not affect other experience, e.g., coding or writing, I still feel that it is not perfect. I googled a lot, but no one talking about this. Could someone help me to solve the issue? Many thanks!

You probably should use a compositor…

@cju Thanks. I am a new guy in WM. I try to install a so called compositor: compton. Nothing improved except shadowing on the window. The scrolling in Chrome is still not that smooth. Any suggestions? Think you.

Try playing with compton's options like the backend… https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compton

Thank you so much. I changed the backed of compton from xrandr to glx. Everything goes smoothly. Let me play with compton. That's really cool.
