Sanctus

Hey All,

I have been using kitty+picom for roughly a year without any issues that weren't self inflicted. This week that may (or may not have changed). When I launched kitty on monday all of my transparency was broken and adjusting the configs did not seem to fix it.

Here is my kitty config (it is just included in the default config):

# Backgrounds & Foregrounds
foreground           #2DE2E6
background           #0D0221
selection_foreground #023788
selection_background #EB095C
url_color            #2SE2E6
background_opacity   0.5

color15 #0A8585

Once more, in kitty, this is just included to add my changes.

Here is my picom config:

#################################
#   Transparency / Opacity      #

opacity-rule = [
  "100:class_g    = 'dmenu'",
  "100:class_g     = 'Polybar'",
  "100:class_g    = 'firefox'",
  "100:class_g    = 'thunderbird'",
  "100:class_g    = 'i3lock'",
];

#####################

corner-radius = 5.0;
round-borders = 1;
rounded-corners-exclude = [
  "class_g = 'Polybar'",
  "class_g = 'rofi'",
  "class_g = 'dmenu'",
];

Here is my loginctl:

And the output from kitty cat:

[0.282] Failed to enable transparency. This happens when your desktop environment does not support compositing.

My dbus may be broken. Though I do not know how to confirm if that is the case. Any help would be appreciated, I have been casually using this for about a year but my knowledge is mid at best. Thank you beforehand, and if this isn't enough info I can get more.

I want to make a post logging each session of this new campaign I'm playing. Its a Marvel Multiverse TTRPG. The dice seem kinda jank but it is really fun. I was looking for a community to post about it in but wasn't sure if there even was one. Now I'm not tryna mod a community, but I would be open to having to make one anyway if there isn't a ttrpg story blog already. So Lemmy, are there communities for posting about your ttrpg session stories or no?

After 3 days. I can't describe how happy we are at my house. Someone found her behind a decorative vase by their front door.

This is my family's cat Mimi. She is the sweetest and smallest cat we have ever had. I just needed to make a post about her. She is missing and I'm hoping with all my heart she is okay.

They're just shirts

Do not look down little dev, the dead can do nothing for you.
