NAME
fastcompmgr - a _fast_ compositor for X11

SYNOPSIS
fastcompmgr [-d display] [-r radius] [-o opacity] [-l left-offset] [-t top-offset] [-i opacity] [-e opacity] [-cCfFS]

DESCRIPTION
fastcompmgr is a compositor based on Dana Jansens' version of xcompmgr (which itself was written by Keith Packard) and on an early verion of Christopher Jeffrey's compton. It includes many improvements over the original xcompmgr, including window frame opacity, inactive window transparency, and shadows on argb windows.

OPTIONS

-d display
    Specifies the display to manage.

-r radius
    Specifies the blur radius for client-side shadows.

-o opacity
    Specifies the opacity for client-side shadows.

-l left-offset
    Specifies the left offset for client-side shadows.

-t top-offset
    Specifies the top offset for client-side shadows.

-I fade-in-step
    Specifies the opacity change between steps while fading in.

-O fade-out-step
    Specifies the opacity change between steps while fading out.

-D fade-delta
    Specifies the time (in milliseconds) between steps in a fade.

-c  Enable client-side shadows on windows.

-f  When -c is specified, enables a smooth fade effect for transient windows like menus, and for all windows on hide and restore events.

-C  When -c is specified, attempts to avoid painting shadows on panels and docks.

-F  When -f is specified, also enables the fade effect when windows change their opacity, as with transset(1).

-i opacity
    Specifies inactive window transparency. (0.1 - 1.0)

-e opacity
    Specifies window frame transparency. (0.1 - 1.0)

-S  Enables synchronous operation. Useful for debugging.
