OPTIONS

17       -d display
18              Specifies the display to manage.
19
20       -r radius
21              Specifies the blur radius for client-side shadows.
22
23       -o opacity
24              Specifies the opacity for client-side shadows.
25
26       -l left-offset
27              Specifies the left offset for client-side shadows.
28
29       -t top-offset
30              Specifies the top offset for client-side shadows.
31
32       -I fade-in-step
33              Specifies the opacity change between steps while fading in.
34
35       -O fade-out-step
36              Specifies the opacity change between steps while fading out.
37
38       -D fade-delta
39              Specifies the time (in milliseconds) between steps in a fade.
40
41       -a     Automatic server-side compositing.  This instructs the server to
42              use the standard composition rules.  Useful for debugging.
43
44       -c     Client-side compositing with soft shadows and translucency  sup‐
45              port.
46
47       -f     When -c is specified, enables a smooth fade effect for transient
48              windows like menus, and for all  windows  on  hide  and  restore
49              events.
50
51       -n     Simple client-side compositing.
52
53       -s     Server-side compositing with hard-edged shadows.
54
55       -C     When -c is specified, attempts to avoid painting shadows on pan‐
56              els and docks.
57
58       -F     When -f is specified, also enables the fade effect when  windows
59              change their opacity, as with transset(1).
60
61       -S     Enables synchronous operation.  Useful for debugging.
