Don't know if it happen with other then electron apps. Could be related to my shadow picom config.

I believe this should be solved once we merge #22.

But, just to check: do you still see these artifacts if you use the new glx backend and set use-damage = false;?

tim-kilian commented 2 years ago

Yes. There are still artifacts with those settings.

Are there artifacts in:

This fork, on 6a5019896741ca365072a3a1450b5ba055332653,
And on #22?

Similar artifacts in https://github.com/dccsillag/picom/commit/6a5019896741ca365072a3a1450b5ba055332653,
Less ugly, acceptable artifacts in https://github.com/dccsillag/picom/pull/22

I do experience a worse behavior on slower applications like electron ones and do not notice any artifacts on faster applications like a terminal or firefox.
