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
