Hi, recently I’ve switched to Manjaro i3 and so far i have not changed anything major in it other than Polybar and Pulseaudio. But when i tried to use Compton it doesn’t work and outputs :
[ 16/10/20 14:44:16.585 c2_parse_grp ERROR ] Pattern "class_g ?= 'i3-frame'_GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS@:c" pos 21: Unexpected expression.
Hi!
I had the same problem with compton and nvidia cards, I change to picom and all works fine. i’m not sure but I think compton are deprecated.
Well i tried Picom but it still doesn’t work and the output is still the same.
Thank you for the reply though ^^
Is GTK3 installed?
I am sure you removed compton and its config.
How do you start picom?
Can you share your config here because it seems like a config or startup error.
Yes, GTK3 is installed. And i start compton and picom by just typing them in the terminal because starting them from dmenu doesn’t do anything. As for the config :
Here is the i3 config :
And the compton config is :
opacity-rule = ["85:class_g= 'Termite'"];
Oke why this line in your config?
exec --no-startup-id nitrogen --restore; sleep 1; picom -b
I mean you try to run picom as a daemonize process and your starting compton by terminal?
try removing
; sleep 1; picom -b in that line
set Picom as
exec_always --no-startup-id picom --experimental-backends
Remove your compton config and picom config (or set a backup like for instance mv .config/picom.conf .config/picom.bku
Start clean by copy the default config.
cp /etc/xdg/picom.conf.example ~/.config/picom.conf
check if works.
If it works go on and edit to your liking.
Ohh, god thank you so much. That seems to do the trick ^^
You can just copy the configuration file from manjaro i3 20.1.2 ISO. The position is ~/.config/picom.conf.
