LXDE Visual Artifacts when Switching from Desktops with Chrome

LXDE Visual Artifacts when Switching Desktops. Install a composite manager will remove the artifacts, below is a list of composite managers:

  • xcompmgr - a minimal alternative to Compiz
  • Compton - A bug-fixed fork of dcompmgr, which is a fork of xcompmgr
  • Cairo Compmgr (Cairo Composite Manager) - a compositing add-on for existing window managers. It uses Cairo), a vector graphics library also used in GTK+.
  • Unagi Compositing Manager - 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
