[zakariaGatter]

background-color-rgb: 0x00292929;

The example config recommends this: "If you want transparency, use argb, not rgb"

background-color-rgb: 0x00292929; background-color-argb: 0x00292929;

For me that works just fine.

Have a good one.

@zakariaGatter, transparency (real) in X11 requires compositing manager; with traditional WMs, you may need to use xcompmgr or compton for that. Did you also run with your tests?

it would appear pango/cairo require the composite extension for things to display. is there any known way around this limitation?
