That is a strange division of labor. I thought transparency and composition were aspects of window management. What else would they be?
- p_l 6y agoComposition should be domain of display server, IMO (like with Xsgi). Windows DWM.EXE also, AFAIK, keeps to drawing not policy. Transparency support falls under composition - the decision on applying the effect can be left to WM/app. That's how world used to work, but it seems its going the way of dodo :-(
