Picom on EXWM startup
(provide 'cce/exwm-xcompmgr)
First commit to xcompmgr was in 2003 and there are still people running non-composited X11 environments SMH
Starting picom
in Emacs
i use picom, a simple X11 compositor that works with EXWM or i3wm or XMonad, and have it start after EXWM does, rather than through home-manager because KDE's kwin doesn't like to compete for the compositor. I provide a custom backend to prevent mpv
from tearing.1
(defun cce/run-picom ()
(interactive)
(when (executable-find "picom")
(start-process "picom" " *picom*" "picom" "--vsync" "--backend=glx")))
;; "-i 0.9"
(add-hook 'exwm-init-hook #'cce/run-picom)
; (add-hook 'after-init-hook #'cce/run-picom)
Starting picom
on login with systemd
picom
comes from home-manager and needs a working NixGL on non-nixos desktops. Rather than manage it with Emacs, let's just use home-manager now that I am running XMonad.
{ pkgs, ... }:
let
myPicom = pkgs.lib.mkNixGLWrapper { name="picom"; pkg=pkgs.picom; };
in
{
home.packages = [ myPicom ];
services.picom = {
enable = false;
package = myPicom;
backend = "glx";
# inactiveOpacity = 0.9;
vSync = true;
};
}
