Hello, friends! I recently got acquainted with Mabox, I like using it, it is very fast and cool customization. I installed version 24.08 on my laptop from the iso image. Everything was fine until I updated to version 24.11. After the update and reboot, Terminator (and cava) for some reason lost its transparency. Changing the settings does not change anything. Later I tried to install both versions (24.08 and 24.11) on another computer in virtualbox. The difference is visible even in the LiveCD versions. After all this, I decided to check the image of version 24.09 - there is no transparency there either. Why is this happening and how to fix it?
Hello @nekomancer and welcome to the forum ![]()
Look like picom does not started.
Picom recently had a major update from v11 to v12.
It is possible that there is something wrong with the default picom config in Mabox after changing the version.
I will check with latest ISO soon.
Thanks for the quick reply! I tried to force picom to run, it also didn’t work ![]()
I’ll wait for fixes in updates, thanks again for your attention
I am having the same issues with my terminals as mentioned above, no transparency. I had come here looking for answers to fix mine and am glad to see this post.
Please try modern.conf
Menu → Mabox Config → Compositor → Choose config file: modern.conf
mabox-dijkstra.conf and picom.sample.conf should also work. (works for me)
/dev/null (no-config) and bunsenlabs.conf seems to be broken with picom v12.
Greyscale thing is also broken.
It works for me! Thank you very much! ![]()
It looks like the Mabox scripts for Picom need to be rewritten/updated. Maybe with the awesome add-on @muzqs is working on ![]()
@nekomancer Thank you for reporting this issue ![]()
