Using compton with Pywal causes background to be gray I'm currently struggling to get Compton and Pywal to play nice on my DWM setup. Currently, whenever I run Compton after Pywal using startx, the wallpaper is gray, and opening windows makes them appear to "stay" in the background. I am using the default Compton configuration, here is my .xinitrc: # Set keymap to GB setxkbmap gb & # Statusbar ~/scripts/dwm_status & # Change wallpaper with wal wal -i /home/joe/pictures/wallpapers & # Start compton compton & # Start DWM exec dwm

Ah I feel a bit stupid, turns out all I had to do was copy the example config file to ~/.config/compton/compton.conf and change the backend to xrender before changing the line in my .xinitrc to:


compton --config ~/.config/compton/compton.conf -b
