["solved"] [fluxbox] xcompmgr applies shadow effect to wbar

I'm using fluxbox, xcompmgr and wbar.

When I run wbar and xcompmanager together the shadow is also applied in wbar which is undesireable.

I've tried various combinations to initialize xcompmgr and wbar and nothing works including changind load order.

Is there a way to fix this?

This is what I have in .flubox/startup

fbsetbg -l
xfce-mcs-manager

wbar -pos top -nofont -bpress &
xcompmgr -cC &

exec /usr/bin/fluxbox

Thank you!

Re: ["solved"] [fluxbox] xcompmgr applies shadow effect to wbar

Here's how I fixed it.

I launch wbar with and xcompmgr with the following options

wbar -pos top -above-desk -bpress &
xcompmgr -cC &

After the restart, I need to right click a few times on wbar (the right click is used to refresh wbar) and the shadow problem disappears. It's not perfect but it works for now
