Top 17 C Xorg Projects

  1. picom

    A lightweight compositor for X11 with animation support

    Project mention: I found an 8 years old bug in Xorg | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-23

    Picom has an awesome feature [0] that, for the sake of all our eyes, should come by default on every device with a screen. It can continuously adjust the brightness of individual windows by averaging all the pixels in that window. It's great for defending against "flashbangs" (when a new tab burns your eyes with a blank white screen).
