Dwm transparency patch and chromium[Solved]
Unfortunately, I have ran into a new problem. Chromium always disappears when it is focused. I use DWM with transparency patch.

Re: Dwm transparency patch and chromium[Solved]
What rule have you applied for Chromium in your config.h?
static const Rule rules[] = {
- /* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
- { "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True, -1 },
- { "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, False, -1 },
+ /* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor opacity */
+ { "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True, -1, -1 },
+ { "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, False, -1, -1 },
+ { "URxvt", NULL, NULL, 0, False, -1, 0.95 },
};
Also, the wiki does warn that the patch is buggy...

Re: Dwm transparency patch and chromium[Solved]
Yes, I am aware that it is buggy. 
Here is the configuration for Chromium
/* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
{ "Chromium", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, False, -1 },Offline

Re: Dwm transparency patch and chromium[Solved]
I don't use the patch, but I would try adding an opacity field as per the diff and assigning Chromium a value (perhaps start with -1 and tweak from there) and see how that goes...

Re: Dwm transparency patch and chromium[Solved]
Not at all - the people who write suckless code are just very good about documenting how to use it. Mark this solved?
