Not really. I got it to state where it works for me and shared it in hopes that I'd be useful to others; I didn't expect it to blow up the way it did! The compton codebase is a mess so the barrier to make even tiny changes is huge. I developed this fork over hours of tedious experimentation- brute force essentially. Eventually I would like to either refactor the codebase to make it maintainable, or to make my changes less hacky so that I can send a PR, but I lack motivation because "it works on my machine" (tm).
Unrelated to the question: To anyone wanting to hack on compton on their own- I can highly recommend implementing your own little composite manager from scratch first. You are going to read through a bunch of examples and projects, and you are going to recognize blocks of them in compton, just with more gunk. This greatly helps when orientating yourself in the code!

Thanks for all your work!
