# Following per window-type options are available: ::
#
#   fade, shadow:::
#     Controls window-type-specific shadow and fade settings.
#
#   opacity:::
#     Controls default opacity of the window type.
#
#   focus:::
#     Controls whether the window of this type is to be always considered focused.
#     (By default, all window types except "normal" and "dialog" has this on.)
#
#   full-shadow:::
#     Controls whether shadow is drawn under the parts of the window that you
#     normally won't be able to see. Useful when the window has parts of it
#     transparent, and you want shadows in those areas.
#
#   clip-shadow-above:::
#     Controls whether shadows that would have been drawn above the window should
#     be clipped. Useful for dock windows that should have no shadow painted on top.
#
#   redir-ignore:::
#     Controls whether this type of windows should cause screen to become
#     redirected again after been unredirected. If you have unredir-if-possible
#     set, and doesn't want certain window to cause unnecessary screen redirection,
#     you can set this to `true`.

# 'WINDOW_TYPE' is one of the 15 window types defined in EWMH standard:

#     "splash", "dialog", "normal", "dropdown_menu", "popup_menu",
#     "tooltip", "notification", "combo", and "dnd".
#
# Following per window-type options are available: ::
#
#   fade, shadow:::
#     Controls window-type-specific shadow and fade settings.
#
#   opacity:::
#     Controls default opacity of the window type.
#
#   focus:::
#     Controls whether the window of this type is to be always considered focused.
#     (By default, all window types except "normal" and "dialog" has this on.)
#
#   full-shadow:::
#     Controls whether shadow is drawn under the parts of the window that you
#     normally won't be able to see. Useful when the window has parts of it
#     transparent, and you want shadows in those areas.
#
#   clip-shadow-above:::
#     Controls whether shadows that would have been drawn above the window should
#     be clipped. Useful for dock windows that should have no shadow painted on top.
#
#   redir-ignore:::
#     Controls whether this type of windows should cause screen to become
#     redirected again after been unredirected. If you have unredir-if-possible
#     set, and doesn't want certain window to cause unnecessary screen redirection,
#     you can set this to `true`.

vec4 window_shader() {
  return vec4(1, 0, 1, 1);
}

Steps of reproduction

1. Place testShader.glsl in ~/.config/picom/
2. run BSPWM with polybar
3. run the command '''picom --backend glx --window-shader-fg ~/.config/picom/testShader.glsl'''

Expected behavior

All open windows should turn solid pink.

Current Behavior

Only polybar and drop down menus appear to turn pink.

Other details

This issue appears to be exclusive to BSPWM. I've tried to reproduce the issue in i3 and the shader works as expected.

running picom --backend glx --window-shader-fg ~/.config/picom/testShader.glsl in i3 results in:

running picom --backend glx in i3 with a rule in my config file to only target Zim results in:

[absolutelynothelix]

could you do xprop > 1 running bspwm and xprop > 2 running i3 on the same window applying a shader on behaves differently and post diff -u 1 2?

do windows that shader does/doesn't apply to running bspwm have something common? for some reason, i'm thinking about their depths (you can check a window's depth using xwininfo).

[luke-thom]

Yeah polybar and zim have different depths. Polybar has depth of 32 and zim had 24. I took info in both bspwm and i3 in case it's useful.

However I noticed that the kitty terminal also has a depth of 32, but doesn't seem to be affected when I run with --window-shader-fg ~/.config/picom/testShader.glsl in bspwm.

I've done a bit more testing, I looked at some of rules you can set for windows in bspwm trying to figure out why bspwm might treat polybar and other windows differently. Well I found that setting manage=off on a window will apply the shader. This isn't a solution because now bspwm no longer has any control over the window and can't even focus it.

I've got a rule in my picom config to only apply the shader to Zim.

window-shader-fg-rule = [
  "testShader.glsl:class_g = 'Zim'",
];

I ran bspc rule -a Zim manage=off, then launched zim:

Then I ran picom and the shader was applied:

So something about bspwm managing windows causes the shader to not be applied.

[absolutelynothelix]

does it happen with --config=/dev/null?

[absolutelynothelix]

does #1179 fix the issue for you?

[luke-thom]

Hello, sorry for the late reply I've been away for a couple of days.

I've built and tested #1179 and I'm pleased to say it works!

I also tested using --config=/dev/null (with the version from my package manager) and that also applied the shader correctly.
The full command used was picom --backend glx --window-shader-fg ~/.config/picom/testShader.glsl --config=/dev/null

Thank you for all your help!
