Hello,
I have been trying to figure out where to get rid of transparency of windows in openbox.

Its also in some programs. It makes working with CAD software anoying and I don’t like to have to move windows around behind terminals and other darker surfaces that things come through.
Its a normal manjaro xfce install and iv switched to openbox later on to get a cleaner interface but now i get this transparency that I do not know where to find.
In the openbox configuration transparency it is not configured on any setting like it says in the manual so I do not know where it is coming from. I’m not sure what part is adding its black magic disappearing act.
Where should I be looking?
Thank you for your help.
Do you maybe have a compositor like picom (previously known as compton) running?
Openbox has no transparency.
I first thought you had installed the community version but then I realized - by reading closer that
I think this could be a qt transparency - locate Kvantum Manager → Configure Active Theme.
On the tab Compositing & General Look → check the box Disable composite effects → Save and Quit.

Thank you! That was it!

I changed some stuff in the tab “Compositing & General Look” and it now looks like i can 3D model without getting the desktop background involved.
Yes, picom is running its in the autostart.
Does that also add some transparency?
If I recall correct xfce window manager also provides compositing which makes picon obsolete -

I might have too much starting up then that do the same thing.
If there is both xfce stuff going on in the same time.
