[Solved] Compton and Mint Themes

Post by venco »

I switched the window management to Xfwm4 + Compton .

When i use MintX themes some program windows (catfish , disks ,disk usage analyzer , logs ...and probably others )
have red border . See picture below :

And if i use MintY and another themes the red border disapears . The picture below

And my question is - How to fix MintX theme

Hi, venco.

I use the combination of xfwm4 + compton on a few Linux Mint xfce systems as well, Linux Mint xfce 18.1 + 19.1 + 19.2. But I have not noted any red borders.
It would be helpful, if you could post the terminal output which the commandline inxi -Fxz generates.

Best regards,
Karl

Mint-X Theme here on Mint 19.2 xfce: black borders, not red. Is this what you expected?

By the way, some application windows will have no borders, e.g. gnome-system-log, gnome-calculator, very likely a few more.

Compton and Mint Themes

Post by venco »

Apparently there is not a problem with mintX theme. It is an unsuitable configuration in compton.conf.
I found good working configuration in Manjaro forums -

added some effects and now everything is fine :
