Linux下Compton使用心得：流畅体验分享

Compton是Linux下一个轻量级的X11合成窗口管理器，能够显著改善桌面视觉效果和性能。以下是我在使用Compton过程中的一些心得和配置建议。

为什么选择Compton

1. 减少屏幕撕裂：通过合成技术消除画面撕裂现象
2. 窗口动画效果：提供淡入淡出等视觉效果
3. 性能优化：相比Compiz等更轻量级
4. 阴影效果：为窗口添加美观的阴影
5. 透明度控制：支持窗口透明度和不透明度调整

安装Compton

Ubuntu/Debian系

sudo apt install compton

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S compton

Fedora

sudo dnf install compton

基础配置

创建配置文件 ~/.config/compton.conf：

# 基本设置
backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;

# 阴影效果
shadow = true;
shadow-radius = 12;
shadow-offset-x = -5;
shadow-offset-y = -5;
shadow-opacity = 0.5;

# 淡入淡出效果
fading = true;
fade-delta = 5;
fade-in-step = 0.03;
fade-out-step = 0.03;

# 窗口透明度
inactive-opacity = 0.8;
active-opacity = 1.0;
frame-opacity = 0.7;
inactive-opacity-override = false;

# 性能优化
vsync = "opengl-swc";
detect-rounded-corners = true;
detect-client-opacity = true;

高级优化技巧

1. 针对不同GPU的优化

Intel集成显卡：

backend = "glx";
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-copy-from-front = false;

NVIDIA显卡：

backend = "glx";
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-swap-method = "exchange";

2. 窗口规则设置

可以为特定应用程序设置特殊规则：

# 为Firefox禁用阴影
wintypes:
{
  tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.9; focus = true; };
  dock = { shadow = false; };
  dnd = { shadow = false; };
  popup_menu = { opacity = 0.9; };
  dropdown_menu = { opacity = 0.9; };
};

3. 性能与质量平衡

# 高质量模式
glx-use-copysubbuffermesa = true;
xrender-sync = true;
xrender-sync-fence = true;

# 性能优先模式
unredir-if-possible = true;
unredir-if-possible-delay = 5000;

启动方式

1. 直接启动

compton --config ~/.config/compton.conf -b

2. 自动启动（添加到桌面环境启动项）

对于i3wm等窗口管理器，可以在配置文件中添加：

exec --no-startup-id compton --config ~/.config/compton.conf -b

常见问题解决

1. 屏幕闪烁问题：

   vsync = "opengl";
   glx-swap-method = "exchange";
   

2. 性能低下： 尝试更换backend：

   backend = "xrender";
   

3. 特定应用显示异常： 添加排除规则：

   shadow-exclude = [
    "name = 'Notification'",
    "class_g = 'Conky'",
    "class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'"
   ];
   

我的最终配置

以下是我经过多次调整后的优化配置：

backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";

shadow = true;
shadow-radius = 12;
shadow-offset-x = -5;
shadow-offset-y = -5;
shadow-opacity = 0.5;
shadow-exclude = [
    "name = 'Notification'",
    "class_g = 'Conky'",
    "class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'",
    "class_g = 'Cairo-clock'"
];

fading = true;
fade-delta = 5;
fade-in-step = 0.03;
fade-out-step = 0.03;
fade-exclude = [ ];

inactive-opacity = 0.8;
active-opacity = 1.0;
frame-opacity = 0.7;
inactive-opacity-override = false;

opacity-rule = [
    "90:class_g = 'Alacritty'",
    "85:class_g = 'Code'"
];

wintypes:
{
    tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; opacity = 0.9; focus = true; };
    dock = { shadow = false; };
    dnd = { shadow = false; };
    popup_menu = { opacity = 0.9; };
    dropdown_menu = { opacity = 0.9; };
};

总结

Compton能够显著提升Linux桌面的视觉体验，通过合理的配置可以在美观和性能之间取得平衡。建议从基础配置开始，根据实际使用情况逐步调整参数。不同的硬件和桌面环境可能需要不同的优化策略，多尝试才能找到最适合自己系统的配置。
