Simple focus animations for tiling window managers

Project description

FLASHFOCUS

Simple focus animations for tiling window managers.

When the focused window changes, flashfocus briefly decreases the window opacity then slowly fades the window back to full opacity to create a flash effect.

Compatible with all X based window managers (i3, bspwm, awesome-wm, xmonad).

Installation

An active window compositor is required for the effects of flashfocus to be noticeable. If you don’t have one setup already, I recommend compton.

Arch

Install from the Arch User Repository: flashfocus-git

Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get install libxcb-render0-dev; pip install flashfocus

Configuration

Flashfocus should be added to your startup programs. E.g for i3 put the following in your config:

exec_always –no-startup-id flashfocus

See flashfocus –help for extra configuration options.
