# These are my compton settings. Feel free to use them and experiment. Just know
# that what works for me may well not work for you; it depends on things like your
# hardware and the packages you're using.
#
# For me, this completely eliminates screen tearing. I chose to disable shadows, -
# because, despite tweaking the settings, I still get the occasionally buggy ones.
