Picom blur background isn't working, help!
What distro? My pref is for Jonaburg's fork. Ibhagwan is out of date. Pijulius more so. Yshui doesn't have animation.

Does awesome dont support Translucent windows?
As others have said, Awesome doesn't ship with a compositor so you need one yourself. My choice is jonaburg's picom fork for the extra included features, but regular picom will do the job.

Best picom fork?
picom-jonaburg has rounded corners and animations. Window gaps are controlled by your window manager, compositors can't interact with them.

Can't remove rounded corners from evince
Offtopic: I know you didn't ask this, but I just saw the fork you are using was updated the last time in 2020: https://github.com/jonaburg/picom/tags . The current version of the original https://github.com/yshui/picom/releases got updated this year (2 years more development!). Unless you are using features that is only available in that fork, I would try the mainline, which also got some of these features too, in example support for rounding corners. So maybe this newer version works better.

How to exclude Qtile Bar from background-blur in picom
I am using Qtile (on a Laptop running Ubuntu 20.04), with jonaburg-picom, which is blurring my Qtile bar since some parts of it are configured to be transparent. How do I get rid of that blur, can someone help me with this?

Picom blur & transparency?
This is how I do it with awesomeWM on EndeavourOS. Maybe this will help you. I'm using picom-jonaburg-git.

How do I make emacs translucent? Like transparency, with a blur, akin to what konsole has. Picture of what I want:
picom is a widely adopted compositor that has (too) many forks and the one I use supports blurring, shadows, corners and transparency: https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom

Picom-ibhagwan stopped working after restart?
I have picom-ibhagwan (https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom) installed via the xbps template for the rounded corners and dual kawase bliur. Everything was fine until I rebooted- and now I have no blur or rounded corners. I have no clue what gives. Any ideas?

How to get blur to work with picom?
I guess newer versions of picom supports the blur effect. I'm not sure though. Just a note you don't need to terminate the session for testing this. Just kill the running instance of picom and run picom again. This is how I run picom: picom --experimental-backends --backend glx --xrender-sync-fence and this is what I have for blur effects in my picom.conf file: blur: { # requires: https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom method = "kawase"; #method = "kernel"; strength = 17; deviation = 14; kernel = "11x11gaussian"; background = true; background-frame = true; background-fixed = true; kern = "3x3box"; }

Rounded corners with bspwm/picom?
Read from top to bottom here. Go to the Wiki reflexively. Search Erik's YT. He covers everything.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing picom and picom you can also consider the following projects:
the-glorious-dotfiles - A glorified personal dot files
bspwm-rounded-corners - A tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning, with support for rounded corners. Very buggy - it's highly recommended to use an external compositor like picom instead.
picom-ibhagwan-template - Void Linux template file for xbps-src
dwm
picom - A lightweight compositor for X11
spectrwm - A small dynamic tiling window manager for X11.
xfce-patches - Some patches for Xfce's components
st
Ulauncher - Feature rich application Launcher for Linux
ly - display manager with console UI [Moved to: https://github.com/fairyglade/ly]
WhiteSur-gtk-theme - MacOS Big Sur like theme for Gnome desktops
