Window flashes Transparent on focus change

[kronbergerindustrie]

Hey there!

I noticed that on sway every time i change the focus onto some application (no matter if I use a shortcut or the cursor) I get this flicker of transparency. I would rather have the inactive windows transparent and go to full opacity when i move focus to them or just stop this flicker. I would greatly appreciate some info, i just couldn’t really find anything regarding this topic.

Here is a recording of what I mentioned.

And my system information:

Probably has to do something with flash focus:https://github.com/fennerm/flashfocus
Right?

I was specualting which GPU but it seems to be Intel - right?

How is kernel mode setting (kms) configured

cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

But if you have build flashfocus - then the behavior is intended - right ?

Ya, flashfocus is installed by default on the sway edition. You can just uninstall it.

Hints like that are documented here: manjaro-sway/SUPPORT.md at main · manjaro-sway/manjaro-sway · GitHub
