Hello guys
As you probably know, there is my project called compton module, which is an elegant and easy way how to enable/disable compositing effect based on compton or new fork called picom in Bodhi Linux. Actually there was a little annoyance in case an user wanted to modificate the compton.conf file. The native directory was the same as module dir after installation:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/enlightenment/modules/comptonmod/compton.conf (for 64 bit installation)
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/enlightenment/modules/comptonmod/compton.conf (for 32 bit installation)
As you can see it looks sorta complicated and hard to remember mainly for new users. I asked ylee for a solution and I am happy to announce the updated module has been uploaded to all repos.
What is new?
- compton.conf is placed into /etc directory after module installation (no mater of platform i686 or amd64)
- the code looks into home directory ./config dir first. It is the native compton/picom directory. If the file is missing it will read /etc/compton.conf
Not a big deal but I hope it will be easier now for our users
Installation:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install moksha-module-compton
in menu-settings-modules-look tab load the module
