The autostart of picom resulted in problems with compiz or marco-no-composite.
The autostart was active in these situations:

  • In case of existing ~/.config/picom.conf , or
  • In case of older picom version (< v12)

This will Bugfix #97.

Parts:

  • when change to compiz: pkill picom.
  • when change to marco-no-composite: inform user about problematic autostart of picom.

For the future: disable the autostart of picom?
I suggest to disable the autostart of picom. When another Pull-Request was merge, we can continue here:
Replace Dialog with self.disable_autostart('picom.desktop', 'Reason: parallel running will not disable composite.') in code view
