Reply To: Plank with compositor?

You can definitely use Compton or Picom. Just add the commandline to the $HOME/.desktop-session/startup script, includng the –daemon option.

For example, here’s mine as a basic config on the first line and a few fancy effects on second and third lines:

picom --daemon --vsync --backend xr_glx_hybrid --glx-no-stencil --glx-no-rebind-pixmap \
       --fading -D3 --corner-radius 6 --shadow -r6 -o0.3 -l0 -t0 --shadow-exclude 'class_g = "TaskBar"' \
       --opacity-rule '75:class_i = "galculator"' --opacity-rule '75:class_i = "leafpad"' --opacity-rule '75:class_i *= "urxvt"'

Picom can be configured on the commandline like this or in a separate config file. The particular configuration to suit your setup is a bit complicated for these compositors, though.

And there’s no need to uninstall xcompmgr, just don’t start it.
