We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

7 Use the keyboard shortcut to toggle compton on and off

CTRL + ALT + O

We have created a shortcut to quickly toggle compton on and off. At some point in time you would like to do that.

We take a look at the script, that will toggle compton on and off and show for the first time where in xmonad.hs  the keyboard shortcut is.

If compton is turned off, there will be no more transparency.

Termite will have a black background.

The conky will have a black background.

Urxvt is an exception as we have set urxvt in .Xresources to be transparent (lines 56-57).

We may change this setting in the future.

URxvt*transparent: true
URxvt*shading: 30
