[SOLVED] How can I disable compton's shadow only for dmenu?

Hi,

I'm searching for a possibility to disable compton's shadow only for dmenu by using `shadow-exclude`, but I don't find the right expression for this.

I managed to exclude shadows for other specific programs like firefox or urxvt that way, so excluding itself works. Also, I tried to get some window information about dmenu by using xprop, but that doesn't return anything when I click on dmenu…

Anybody here who knows (how to get) the right expression to exclude dmenu? TIA.

shadow-exclude = [ "???" ];   # s/???/*expression-for-dmenu*/

Thanks for the tip, now excluding by classname works as intended.
