Linux Lite 2.0 is great, Compton makes it even better (with Nvidia drivers)
#10
Thanks @Jerry.

How do I do this, from eightbit's opening post in this thread...
Quote: Once it’s installed, create a text file in ~/.config/ called compton.conf with the following contents:

After eightbit's first three lines of code, that I entered into the terminal, I launched  Compton but nothing happened.
[size=1em]
I'm a bit confused about the order for eightbit's code  [/size]
Code:
compton --vsync opengl --backend glx -b
[size=1em] and jerry's code [/size]
Code:
compton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --glx-no-stencil --vsync opengl-swc
[size=1em]

Which comes first or does one replace the other? Do I start this command line with 'sudo'?  I'm also a bit unsure how to open the configuration file - I've understood that the config. file is not needed if the above command line is used.[/size]

Also if I get in a mess, how do I remove Compton - what should I type in the terminal for this?

Many thanks in advance for any help with this.
Regards
Mike
