Cairo Composite Manager is a versatile and extensible composite manager which use cairo for rendering. Plugins can be used to add some cool effects to your desktop

Like Xcompmgr it does not replace an existing window manager, which makes it ideal for users of lightweight window managers like Openbox and Fluxbox that seek a more elegant desktop.

  • Xorg must be installed, configured and running
  • Composite must be enabled via graphics drivers
