[Solved] urxvt real transparency in pekwm

De Mysteriis · 2009-03-04 17:45:00

Hi, I'm trying to get real transparency in urxvt using xcompmgr but it fails miserably.
Here are my .Xdefaults:

Xcursor*theme: Vanilla-DMZ-AA
Xcursor.size: 22 

Xft.dpi:                        96 
Xft.antialias:                  true
Xft.hinting:                    true
Xft.hintstyle:                  0 

URxvt*font: xft:Akkurat Mono:pixelsize=12
URxvt*boldFont: xft:Akkurat Mono:pixelsize=12
URxvt*buffered: true
URxvt*saveLines: 32767
URxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*cursorBlink: true
URxvt*urllauncher: opera
urxvt*background:        rgba:0000/0000/0000/8000
urxvt*depth:            32
urxvt*foreground:        #ffffff

I start xcompmgr with the following options:

xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &

Well I don't know how to fix it but I wanted to let you know that I have the same problem, so you aren't the only one. Also that wallpaper is bloody awesome!

So anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Maybe unrelated but I've also noticed pekwm behaves really badly when xcompmgr is running, seems to leave behind pieces of windows on the desktop, at least on my ATI system.

Try to change urxvt*depth from 32 to 24.

Switched to Openbox and now everything works fine!

haha that's hardly a solution but I think I did the same thing when I tried PekWM. It looks like a cool WM but I couldn't get transparency to work either.

Maybe it has something to do with PekWM autoproperties?
