# picom

[picom][picom] is a desktop compositor for X11.

## Use Cases

picom can be used to:

- Reduce screen tear in certain environments
- Add elementary animations such as fading to your desktop
- Add shadows to your desktop

You should not use picom if:

- Your window manager or desktop environment already has a compositor
- You are not using X11

meta: Rename compton to picom Since the project changed names a while ago, we'll update the repository to reflect this. 2021-11-15 18:41:42 +01:00			`# picom`
Revert "Remove compton" We actually still need compton (now picom) for screen tearing in bspwm, so we'll add it back now. In the future it may be useful to keep dotfiles in the repository even when I no longer use them, since the configuration itself may still be useful. 2021-11-15 18:36:08 +01:00
