Environment

vgit-31e58

Rounded corner is only supported on legacy backends, it will be disabled **Version:** vgit-ee7d9 ### Extensions: * Shape: Yes * XRandR: Yes * Present: Present ### Misc: * Use Overlay: No (Another compositor is already running) * Config file used: /home/whatever/.config/picom/picom.conf ### Drivers (inaccurate): modesetting ### Backend: glx * Driver vendors: * GLX: Mesa Project and SGI * GL: AMD * GL renderer: AMD RAVEN (DRM 3.42.0, 5.15.10-arch1-1, LLVM 13.0.0) * Accelerated: 1

Configuration file

``` #blur rule blur: { method = "dual_kawase"; strength = 3; }; blur-exclude = [ #"class_g = 'firefox'" #"class = 'jgmenu'" ] #rounded corners corner-radius = 8; rounded-corners-exclude = [ "class_g = 'polybar'", "window_type = 'dock'", ]; round-borders = 1; detect-rounded-corners = true; #fading fading = true; fade-in-step = 0.03; fade-out-step = 0.03; #shadow #shadow = true; shadow-radius = 10; shadow-opacity = 1; shadow-offset-x = -10; shadow-offset-y = -10; shadow-exclude = [ "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE:a = '_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION'", "_NET_WM_STATE@:32a *= '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'", "_GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS@:c", "class_g = 'polybar'", "window_type = 'dock'", ]; shadow-ignore-shaped = false #backend backend = "glx"; glx-no-stencil = true; glx-copy-from-font = false; use-damage = true; glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true; ```

Expected behavior

Clear mention of the fact I'm using a fork of picom in the version or man pages

Current Behavior

No clear mention stationg I am using the new version of picom

Aditional info

As well as no clear sign of the picom version changing (other then no rounded cornres and the --version returning the commit that the forked repo is currently on except without a few charecters) there are no effects like swapping animations ...ETC

This is going to eventually be a PR into the main Picom repository. Therefore, it's not a good idea to add information stating "this is a fork." This is a temporary fork, and will [hopefully] eventually be merged.

If you want to check if you are using this fork of Picom via the manpage for debugging purposes, you can check if the animation-related flags are present.

there are no effects like swapping animations ...ETC

That's because they aren't implemented here yet -- they are implemented in @pijulius' PR into this repository: https://github.com/dccsillag/picom/pull/22, but have not yet been merged.

Is it possible that the reason it wasn't working is because I was cloning from the next branch instead of the implement window animations branch

UPDATE: using https://github.com/dccsillag/picom/pull/22 and works brilliantly animating windows but I have a few issues see https://github.com/dccsillag/picom/pull/22#issuecomment-1007939560
