Flashfocus only works when run manually #51

I'm experiencing this weird behavior. In i3 config I autostart compton and flashfocus:

# compton
exec_always --no-startup-id compton -b
# flashfocus
exec_always --no-startup-id "conda activate base; flashfocus"

And I can see these two processes running, but flashfocus doesn't work at all.

However if I pkill flashfocus and then run it manually from the terminal, everything works. Even if I pkill flashfocus again and restart i3, it would still work.

I wonder what I'm doing wrong here since I was able to make flashfocus work correctly once. I'm running i3 on Ubuntu 20.04.

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind, looks like this is related to #40, as I was logging in and out of my WM.
