Hello @vincens2005, thanks for the report.

Seems KWin render onagre in a default container.
I have never tried KWin, i'll install it and see if there is a work around.
I will let you know how it goes.

@oknozor I don't know if this helps but the same problem also occurs when using sway.

[oknozor]

@Nimmidev I don't have this issue on sway, can you provide a screenshot ?

[Nimmidev]

Sure.

onagre 1.0.0-alpha.0
sway 1.7
wlroots 0.15.1-5
Linux archlinux 5.17.9-arch1-1

Unfortunately we gonna have to wait for gfx-rs/wgpu#687 to be implemented before transparency works on wayland, meanwhile you need to remove border-radius from your config.

Good to know its not an issue with onagre itself. Gonna use the workaround in the meanwhile. Thanks.

** Edit: Just to test, I ran the following and everything seemed to work as it should while having working transparency. While not ideal, it works.
I know there are a few other env vars that are often used, and I am not sure what circumstances each should be used, I just happened to have tried this particular one.

env XINIT_UNIX_BACKEND=x11 onagre

I just ran into this on Pop_OS as well. Commenting so I can keep track of any happenings in the future around this.

gfx-rs/wgpu#687 is implemented, I assume the blocked tag can now be removed.

[Palladinium]

It looks like the blocking has moved down the dependency chain from wgpu to iced: iced-rs/iced#2087

[nerdachse]

Iced 0.12 should be able to do that now. Not sure how much work it is to upgrade though.

Had a stub at it here: #79
