invisible borders around context menu

[Zerogaku]

There appears to be invisible borders around context menus, I don't really know what is causing this, is there a way to prevent picom from acting on context menus?

Hi @t-wissmann! So adding these lines to my shadow exclude removes the border:

  "window_type = 'menu'",
  "window_type = 'dropdown_menu'",
  "window_type = 'popup_menu'",
  "window_type = 'tooltip'",
  "window_type = 'utility'"

But I'm assuming that the real issue is my wm, dwm, since it adds borders around most windows, so the 2 solutions are:

• stick with this method that removes the shadows
• or see if window borders can be removed around context menu items, thus keeping the shadows but removing the gap.

Unless there is some native picom feature that i'm missing that can that that?

I quote from the aforementioned yshui/picom#552:

It looks like you are using a theme which draws its own shadows around menues. This results in the menu window being larger than the actually visible menu. The blur logic currently has no way of knowing what part of the window is the actual menu and what should be the background and can only blur the whole window leading to the observed effect.
