kitty not transparent

Open darkralts opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

this git seems dead but for the low chance someone sees this i cant seem to get transparency working, is there any config or any source code i could change? idk anything about coding but it annoys me so i wanna try to fix it maybe its a terminal issue not supporting transparency or just a compton issue but i have no idea image

after some https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61622397/x11-cannot-draw-an-image-on-transparent-window-created-with-xcreatewindow

NOTE: THIS WILL BREAK ARGUMENT -bg. https://github.com/tie/oneko/blob/5bbb5113fb30eda4dc5ba74718b2de1979139587/oneko.c#L306 see GCBackground? change that to 0. works for me as a temporary solution.

see that idiot above? the actual solution was CFLAG -DSHAPE. compiling without it will remove trasparency. also make sure to have a compositor.

for me it works even without -DSHAPE, maybe this problem is related only to your distro? I can't really find anything related to SHAPE in sources. You sure you're running exactly this program?
