It turns out that compton has received many bugfixes and improvements
since the last time I used the fading effect. It is a nice animation
that adds a bit of spice to the desktop, so I've enabled it for now.
Since my dotfiles are now sorted by individual programs instead of in
groups, I'm trying a new README format. This format should provide more
useful information and be easier to read as well.
It turns out that placing similar config files (i.e. bspwm-related) in
the same directory is not the way to go about handling dotfiles since
each config file (or dotfile) *should* manipulate only a single program.
This was not the case back when I used urxvt (which would require the
old method of .Xresources), but now that I understand more about how
*modern* dotfiles work (with $XDG_CONFIG_HOME), separating dotfiles by
program became the obvious choice.
There are many dotfiles that we don't have to worry about when using a
desktop environment like Plasma or Xfce. These dotfiles are bspwm
specific and should all be stowed at the same time when stowing bspwm.
