The title bar and move the window: problem #341

Closed holmeslinux closed 7 years ago

holmeslinux commented 7 years ago

hi all, i am now experiencing something weird. i can open a terminal or folder fine. but, if i grab the title bar and move the window, the contents of that window disappears completely. the folder looks like a big white empty box and the terminal is a black window. i have done some looking in to and it is definitely compton. i removed compton entry from /.jwm/start and everything works correctly. no glitches.

now i do not know if the problem is compton or JWM. does anyone have any ideas?

Hi I have not had any good success with compton in JWM, but that may be just me. It could be your compton config is odd, OR the terminal emulator you are using. What terminal emulator are you using? You might also check the output of your jwm errors (see #322 for in depth details) via jwm -p or your xsession errors. Both your issues may ultimately be related. Though I'd be curious to know if anyone has terminal transparency working nicely in JWM.

hello Israel, my setup, see:

in file start:

compton -cCGb

in file compton.conf:

Shadow shadow = true; # Enabled client-side shadows on windows. clear-shadow = true; # Zero the part of the shadow's mask behind the window (experimental). detect-rounded-corners = true; shadow-ignore-shaped = false; shadow-exclude = ["class_g = 'Conky'"];

i use Sakura terminal emulator and PCManFM.

i used xcompmgr and i do not remember having this problem (test again and have the same problem).

with jwm -p no errors. the file .xsession-errors is empty.

this happens with any application. when moving the mouse occurs this!

Does it effect you with different GTK themes? As I said before I have not gotten compton working correctly in JWM (terminal transparency), but I have not had this particular issue. So it is either your compton configuration. It may even be an issue in your gtk theme, as well. Depending on how it is written... there are odd problems that can come in when the theme is malformed and this could be possible here .

hi Israel yes, it is with all gtk themes. see how the terminal is

@Israel- leaving corner zero [0] (in WindowStyle) solved the problem!

thank you @joewing
