Whats wrong with the picom?
2 projects | /r/bspwm | 21 Jan 2023

I was using dwm and everything was perfect. Then I decided to go back to bspwm and I configured it a bit but this problem started occurring. It's kinda annoying tho... Also I am using pijulius' fork but I tried original source and its all same. Sorry for poor English, thanks in advance

Rounded Corners for ALL Windows

I know i could use a compositor to achieve this effect, but the one i'm using (Pijulius' Picom) does not support rounded corners, and i don't want to change it, since it is the only one with really smooth and somewhat customizable animations
Rounded Corners on Pijulius Picom fork
2 projects | /r/archlinux | 17 Nov 2022

I'd like to ask if it is possible to have rounded corners in pijulius' picom fork. I'm using it because of the incredibly smooth animations, but i can't get the rounded corners to work...

I understand, but the picom fork i'm using, pijulius' one, does not. I'd still like to use this for the buttery smooth animations it has
Thank you Awesomewm, I really enjoy my current workflow.

What picom fork should I use?
1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 14 Jul 2022

I want my picom to have animations. I've found this fork of it, which some people say is really nice. Problem is, it seems to be quite outdated. I don't know if the fork this fork is forked from (now that's a mouthfull) supports the same animations, and I don't even know if that one is outdated compared to regular picom. Also neither of these is available on Arch's repos, nor AUR, which kinda puts me off since they wouldn't get automatically updated. What should I use? Thanks.
