Hi there,
Hi
I've recently made the switch to qtile as my daily driver and I have a
weird issue where on boot some of my electron based apps such as
slack-desktop startup automatically in a floating window mode as a
see-through empty window. I can move it around and it does not refresh
and
I believe the underlying program is working as I can hear chat messages
occasionally. There are a few other electron based programs I use with
a
similar issue.
I run 4 electron application and none of them has this issue, but I'm
running an patched older version of Qtile.
The only way I have found to fix it, is on every boot, I
restart lightdm and the window issue is gone.
To describe it further, the border is visible, but can only see the
desktop
background through the app. Other apps render fine.
Any thoughts?
To my knowledge the compositor is handling the opacity of a window.
So I guess you are running Compton or Picom to get the transparency?
If so, could you try to kill Compton/Picom instead of restarting lightdm
to see if that helps?
If that fixes it you can then just start Compton/Picom again and
hopefully things is normal.
