Short description: Standalone compositor for Linux
Picom is a lightweight standalone compositor created for the X Window System. It is a fork of compton, created because compton wasn't being actively maintained;[1] compton is, in turn, a fork of xcompmgr-dana, forked from xcompmgr.[2][3][4]
Configuration
Picom can be configured using a config file which in most Linux systems is located at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/picom.conf. However, picom can also be made to start with a custom config file using the following options:[2]
picom --config ~/.config/picom/picom.conf
Usages
picom has multiple configurations in which it can be run, however in most instances when using it in conjunction with another window manager the -b flag is used to start it as a background process.[2][5]
