Compatibility of popup with the Picom compositor

[Flashwalker]

Hi

Is there any chance to make some how a compatibility of transparency around the popup with the Picom compositor?

What I mean is that the shadow and blur applied by Picom are not accurately applied to the popup border shape, but to the rectangle around it.

Is a PPA update pending? I tried to install via pip:

I found that to make it works you should run this after installation:

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

and set this in your ~/.config/picom.conf:

shadow-ignore-shaped = false;

Now it works, thanks

The only thing buggy is that this xshape thing start to works only after i moving the mouse cursor into the windows list.
It's still bounded with rectangle until i do it

I think it's picom's fault. compton can draw the shadow correctly even without the shape extension.

I meant this behavior (screencast with compton):

xshape applied only after second mouse hover event or on the second appearance of the popup (for newly oppened apps)

Cool, now it works fine right away, but now another problem appeared with the context menu (right-click). Here it is:
