I've installed Cairo Clock and like the radium theme but the problem is the area around the clock (the square that holds the clock object) is black and it doesn't look so good against my blue/white desktop background. Is there any way I can change that to make it match the color of the wallpaper? Some kind of setting, translucency maybe? I can't find anything by right-clicking and adjusting the properties. Is there anything I can add to .cairo-clockrc?

Which desktop do you use? GNOME, KDE, XFCE, .. ?

Hi,
I think you need a compositeable WM like compiz, beryl or xfwm4 (Xfce4)

Ugghhhh, no. That sucks. I've never had good luck getting Beryl up on any distro. My graphics card (ATI Radeon 9200) is terribly supported. Oh well, maybe I'll try again some day.

The r300 drivers should perform flawlessly on running Beryl on your machine.

OK, I'll give that a show when I get some time.

It's not too hard. You just have to change the driver in the device section from fglrx (I assume you use it) to ati in your /etc/xorg.conf.
I have seen notebooks performing just fine with equipment equal to yours. Native AIGLX runs quite smooth.

I've had the same problem with cairo-clock and here's how i fixed it.
1. I already had hardware acceleration enabled (see ArchWiki for your ATI.
2. pacman -S xcompmgr
3. added this:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
to my /etc/X11/XF86Config
4. started xcompmgr
5. started cairo-clock
good luck!

Thanks, Oin. That worked like a charm.
