Re: transparency shortcuts + start/stop xcompmgr script

here's that link to the script. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xcompmgr
i put it in a new post to keep the original post a bit cleaner, so i can also include here my modified version (uses a more conservative setup for xcompmgr (no shadows etc))

#!/bin/bash
#
# Start a composition manager.
# (xcompmgr in this case)

function comphelp () {
  echo "Composition Manager:"
  echo "   (re)start: COMP"
  echo "   stop:      COMP -s"
  echo "   query:     COMP -q"
  echo "              returns 1 if composition manager is running, else 0"
  exit
}

function checkcomp () {
  ( ps -e | grep xcompmgr &>/dev/null ) && exit 1
  exit 0
}

function stopcomp () {
  ( ps -e | grep xcompmgr &>/dev/null ) && killall xcompmgr
}

function startcomp () {
  stopcomp
# Example settings only. Replace with your own.
  xcompmgr -n -I-.015 -O-.03 -D9 -t-0 -l-0 &
  exit
}

case "$1x" in
    "x") startcomp;;
  "-qx") checkcomp;;
  "-sx") stopcomp; exit;;
      *) comphelp;;
esac


PS  (cos i dare not triple post)


PS.
my autostart script for openbox is now a bit of a mess.  lol

# Enable Eyecandy - off by default
# see "/usr/bin/crunchbang/xcompmgr-crunchbang" for more info
#xcompmgr-crunchbang --startstop &

# Enable Eyecandy - Digit's tweak version - dont run at same time as above, myte break.
xcompmgr -n -I-.015 -O-.03 -D9 -t-0 -l-0 &
# see ~/bin/COMP (&/or ~/bin/xcomp) for more details about starting and stopping xcompmgr

putting keyboard shortcuts to open my config files in an editor was the smartest move i ever made with an operating system.  right up there with renouncing total proprietary enslavement and moving to linux.  big_smile
here's a selection of my edit configs shortcuts too... since i've already strayed to "off topic". big_smile
