Compton
=======
**This is a development branch, bug to be expected**
This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained.
The current battle plan of this fork is to refactor it to make the code _possible_ to maintain, so potential contributors won't be scared away when they take a look at the code.
We also try to fix bugs.
The original README can be found [here](README_orig.md)
## Changelog
See [Releases](https://github.com/yshui/compton/releases)
