picom-inspect1

Easily test your picom rules

Usage

picom-inspect [OPTIONS]

Overview

picom-inspect matches your picom rules against a window of your choosing. It helps you test your rules, and shows you which ones of your rules (don’t) work.

Options

picom-inspect accepts all options that picom does. Naturally, most of those options will not be relevant.

These are some of the options you might find useful (See picom(1) for descriptions of what they do):

--config, --log-level, --log-file, all the options related to rules.

picom-inspect also accepts some extra options:

--monitor

Keep picom-inspect running in a loop, and dump information every time something changed about a window.

Notes

picom-inspect is prototype right now. If you find any bug, for example, if rules are matched differently compared to picom, please submit bug reports to:
