cant find picom.conf [SOLVED]

i cannot find my picom folder or the conf  in /etc/xdg/picom.conf there is only a example conf plus i built it from git as i like the snappiness to it instead of it lagging a little when i click on stuff
i am using openbox and i want a transparent openbox menu but cant find the folder or conf anywhere do i have to copy it to .config and name it picom.conf?

You need to create it yourself.  You can use the example as a template.

plus i built it from git ...

And I gather you didn't bother using the picom-git package which would do this properly for you.  That package just copies the picom.conf.example to picom.conf for you.

If you want to use the picom.conf that is provided by the repo package, then take the file from that package.

Then there would be an /etc/xdg/picom.conf as it is part of the package.
