What’s wrong with this behavior of people who aren’t paid for features you want them to add?

So it is a hell toward the compositor maker then?

not necessarily

smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:40:28
any compositor can choose to not implement anything for some functions
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:40:38
for instance, your compositor may not support transparency
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:40:50
so when an application requests to add transparency, nothing would happen

And so we are fucked as users?

use a compositor which implements most features as you want them

smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:41:29
and if a feature doesn’t work as expected, request a fix
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:41:50
the main point is that applications shouldn’t need to implement transparency, for instance

this is messed up

smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:42:07
it’s better to leave that job to the compositor, instead of the gamedevs and whatnot

I suppose sway won’t use blur so is a no for me then?

sway aims to be a complete compositor

smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:42:41
so i would expect sway to implement it

Expect….

smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:42:59
is it complete? maybe not
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:43:18
but here’s a protip: make an issue on their github/lab, request it
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:43:28
if they see many people want it, they might focus on it
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:43:38
(or even better, start the implementation yourself)
Jamerive 2022-08-07 14:43:57
Welll
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:44:42
we’re on @swaywm if you want help with anything in particular anyway
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:44:47
the community itself is quite helpful
Jamerive 2022-08-07 14:44:57
I will try qtile anyway cause I can replicate bspwm behaviour on it
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:45:16
i wanted to try qtile myself
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:45:23
it supports swaymsg, which i rely quite a bit on
Jamerive 2022-08-07 14:45:29
Bspwm is soooo nice
smol_mazunki 2022-08-07 14:46:33
never used it so i cna’t say
Jamerive 2022-08-07 14:48:57

About gtk4 and beyond… Would you see a fork in the future? Because it seems it will happen eventually
