I have Beryl installed and would like to get rid of the panel transparency thing. Problem is, if I try the Window Manager Tweaks (or Settings) it complains it doesn't work with Beryl, and setting panel=0 in the /xfce4/transparency file has no apparent result. Any tips?
Thanks

Well I am using Sarge, but some months ago I took xfwm from testing and it had no composite build in, so I recompiled the backport version for Sarge.
By the way, it did not made my computer slower, as always xfce and everything goes faster :-)

is the debian version already built with transparency and will this slow my computer down?

I have debian 3.1 testing

You can create the file /xfce4/transparency if you want to change the transparency value for the panel (or the iconbox). Create the file and add a line with the format panel=, where value is a number between 0 and 100. Setting it to 0 effectively turns transparency off.

For example, a transparency file may look like this:

panel=25
iconbox=0

So how do I set the transparency of the windows then? Should I post this bug BugZilla?

haha awesome!

dunno, i think it might have something to do with the compositor's settings.

Hey guys, I've enabled compositor support in my xorg.conf file and this is what happens http://xs306.xs.to/xs306/06362/bug3.png

I am using Xfce 4.4 BETA2 and an ATI Radeon graphics card. (Taken from SVN builds on this website: http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/xfce-svn/)

Any clue? (Or anymore information needed?)
