Nice, but why didn't you made notification rounded too?

I bet it's because it creates an opaque, black triangle for part of the corners instead of a shadow. You know what I'm talking about.

Understand and it's not aesthetically interesting at all those triangles, Damn, even on KDE Plasma 5 some themes created those things, I really couldn't stand some themes and a few tooltips ie: volume indicator tooltip early precisely for this problem, but thankfully they're fixed currently on Plasma 6.

I am not clear what kind of notification is that, dunst? or simply python script that run on a terminal? if the latter, I think picom would do something to make it rounded like audio player or fetch that even those run terminal emulator.

From my understanding of compositors, the compositor is fine drawing shadows on its own windows but fails with layers like panel, notification and main menu when corners are rounded. Picom does this fairly well on Xorg, IIRC, but Wayland is a whole new bag o' tricks.

Here's the response to my query about it on Hyprland...

https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/5275

I remember at one point switching Xfce's compositor for Picom because of this when I was running Xfce. Even then, it still wasn't perfect, IIRC. No, strike that, I was using square corners on all layers at the time, and Picom would shadow xfce4-notifyd while Xfce4's own compositor would not.

I don't want 20 idiots in my issue tracker every month saying "man my shadow doesnt round with my bar!!!!

Say what you will about this person, they've got a sense of humor.

I'm not a big Obituary fan unfortunately.

Dunst doesn't want to work properly with rounded corners and I haven't taken the time to find out why.

Nah, it's because the borders don't follow the rounded corner and are cut off. I haven't struck the black triangle issue yet.

Is picom handling the rounding, or the dunstrc?

Döbbie03 · 2024-04-20 20:29:12

Picom is the problem it seems.

I excluded Dunst from the picom config and added a radius in dunstrc and it works as it should. Not sure if I like the rounded corners or not.

That's how I have it set up. The dunstrc handles the rounding. It's only a radius of 2 so I don't really notice. How's the album art popup look?

Döbbie03 · 2024-04-20 23:21:11

Pop up looks good, I have reduced the corner radius so it looks much nicer now.

hhh · 2024-04-21 01:27:02

^ Nice.

Was looking at my laptop last night and realized it's been a looong time since I had a light theme.

Forgive my interruption as an ignorant outsider, but am I wrong to think Picom has no role when using Wayland? I thought wayland compositors handled all that stuff by themselves. Or is this about running things on xwayland?

Just x11 itself. No wayland at all.

johnraff · 2024-04-21 03:57:04

^Ah OK. Maybe a bit of Wayland had leaked into the conversation at some point...

You're right; wayland compositors handle the transparency etc ... No picom needed:

Again, nice shots fellas.

Right, my point with the Hyprland link was that compositors struggle with rounded corners for layers on both Xorg and Wayland. For example, GNOME 46 on Wayland and on Xorg draws shadows on the notification popups but not on the notifcation and power/bluetooth, etc... wondows that appear when you click the panel, nor on the brightness/volume popups (I think, GNOMES shadows are really subtle in general). Maybe @nili can tell us what it's like on Plasma 6 (either/or Wayland or Xorg).

I'm actually amazed that we got Boron with picom to draw convincing shadows on rounded corners for notifications and jgmenu. I never tested shadows on a floating tint2 panel with rounding, but I bet it would work as well.

Yes it was a bit of a fudge because the shadows themselves are square really, but with the right fuzziness we got away with it.
