# LXDE Visual Artifacts when Switching from Desktops with Chrome

LXDE Visual Artifacts when Switching Desktops. Install a [composite manager](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager) will remove the artifacts, below is a list of composite managers:

- [xcompmgr](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xapps) - a minimal alternative to Compiz
- [Compton](https://github.com/chjj/compton) - A bug-fixed fork of dcompmgr, which is a fork of xcompmgr
- [Cairo Compmgr (Cairo Composite Manager)](http://cairo-compmgr.tuxfamily.org/) - a compositing add-on for existing window managers. It uses [Cairo](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_(graphics)), a vector graphics library also used in [GTK+](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B).
- [Unagi Compositing Manager](http://unagi.mini-dweeb.org/) - a compositing manager which can be used along with an existing window manager. It uses the XCB library.
I used Compton for my composite manager:

Install `compton` package
Add `@compton -b` to the end of `/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart`
