################################# # Shadows # ################################# # Enabled client-side shadows on windows. Note desktop windows # (windows with '_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP') never get shadow, # unless explicitly requested using the wintypes option. # # Can be set per-window using rules. # # Default: false shadow = true; # The blur radius for shadows, in pixels. # # Default: 12 shadow-radius = 7; # The opacity of shadows. # # Range: 0.0 - 1.0 # Default: 0.75 # shadow-opacity = .75 # The left offset for shadows, in pixels. # # Default: -15 shadow-offset-x = -7; # The top offset for shadows, in pixels. # # Default: -15 shadow-offset-y = -7; # Hex string color value of shadow. Formatted like "#RRGGBB", e.g. "#C0FFEE". # # Default: #000000 # shadow-color = "#000000" # Crop shadow of a window fully on a particular monitor to that monitor. This is # currently implemented using the X RandR extension. # # Default: false # crop-shadow-to-monitor = false ################################# # Fading # ################################# # Fade windows in/out when opening/closing and when opacity changes, # unless no-fading-openclose is used.
