Fluxbox graphics problems

Many graphics related problems can be caused by xcompmgr

If you have problems then run this in terminal

pkill xcompmgr

this will kill xcompmgr so you can see if the problems go away when it is not running

If this fixes your problems you may want to turn it off or change the settings it runs with;

Turn off xcompmgr permanently

1) open a file browser
2) navigate to home
3) press ctrl+h to show hidden files
4) open .fluxbox
5) open startup
6) find

#start xcompmgr if direct rendering is enabled
/usr/lib/linuxmint/mint-fluxbox-default-settings/xcomp-toggle.sh &

and change it to

#start xcompmgr if direct rendering is enabled
#/usr/lib/linuxmint/mint-fluxbox-default-settings/xcomp-toggle.sh &

run xcompmgr with different settings

this runs with no fade but with a shadow

1) open a file browser
2) navigate to home
3) press ctrl+h to show hidden files
4) open .fluxbox
5) open startup
6) find

#start xcompmgr if direct rendering is enabled
/usr/lib/linuxmint/mint-fluxbox-default-settings/xcomp-toggle.sh &

and change it to

#start xcompmgr if direct rendering is enabled
#/usr/lib/linuxmint/mint-fluxbox-default-settings/xcomp-toggle.sh &

#start xcompmgr anyway with my settings
#of shadows but no fading
xcompmgr -c &

In both cases log out and back in to test
