compton 命令

常用示例

说明

compton is a standalone compositor for X11, providing visual effects like window shadows, transparency, fading animations, and vsync to prevent screen tearing. It works with any window manager that supports compositing. The compositor operates by intercepting window rendering and applying effects before displaying the final image. It supports both XRender and OpenGL backends, with GLX generally providing better performance. Configuration can be done via command-line options or a configuration file. Compton is commonly used with lightweight window managers like i3, openbox, and bspwm to add visual polish without the overhead of a full desktop environment's compositor. It can also help with screen tearing issues on systems without built-in compositing.
