Important

If you experience issues with (partially) black screens, you'll need to enable a transparancy-capable x11 compositor.

Example usage: My bspwm and sxhkd configuration.

Install

If you are using Arch Linux, you can install xcorners from the xcorners-git AUR package.

Alternatively, you can build it from source.

Dependencies:

• gcc
• make
• libX11, libXfixes, libCairo (install -dev or -devel packages)

Building:

After you cloned the repository, use make to build xcorners:

$ make

If successful, this creates the executable ./xcorners.

Installation:

# make install

This installs xcorners to /usr/bin, if you want another prefix, set it using PREFIX="" or EXEC_PREFIX="".

TO-DO

• Basic functionality
• Option to not launch when instance is already running
• Automatic screen detection and configuration
• Automatic fullscreen detection
• Bugtesting

If you encounter bugs, have more ideas or want to expand the functionality, feel free to open an issue or pull request :D
