pacman -S xapps
it doesn't include the patch though to make it more osx like. You'll have to use abs for that.

Yup, got the whole thing working... Just want to have nicer shadows.

Re: [request:xcompmgr with OS X-like shadows]

have a look at xcompmgr --help
you can set the radius, opacity, and left and top offsets for the shadows... i don't know why somebody made a patch to change the defaults, that seems kind of pointless.

edit: oh, the patch also has a different shadow radius for active/inactive windows, to create a more "3D" experience, like OSX. THAT i can understand.
