Options to disable all eye candy

Like many others, I use my compositor mainly to deal with screen tearing. I'm not completely satisfied with the performance of picom/compton, however, which is why I was drawn to this project's aim of being "fast and simple".

To maximize speed and minimize distractions, I like to turn all eye candy effects off. Among eyecandy, I include blurs, shadows, transparency, and fading. Picom and compton easily allow you to turn most/all of these off using the config file.

However, when writing compton's configurations options to disable all these effects to a config file (~/config/neocomp.conf), they seemingly achieve nothing:

shadow = false;
fading = false;
blur-background = false;

How do I turn these effects off in neocomp?

That's an interesting usecase. I'm not sure all the features can even be disabled currently.

Well, if it's too much hassle to incorporate this request, don't sweat it!

It's 100% on the todo-list, but might be a bit far out though.

And anyway, it's a cool usecase i didn't think about.
