Not sure I think not to upgrade is the solution.
Check that you have compron being started in one of your startup files
compton -b &
These are more specific to openbox and we no longer have al-compositor script as it was just running the command posted above. The pipemenu one will work but is mainly just meant to be called from a menu like openbox not startup scripts.
The command to start compton should already be in ~./xprofile

This is my script of ISO 2019.01.20, in fact in what you made me download Nate -Xprofile is like you say.
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xprofile
# sourced at boot by ~/.xinitrc and display managers like lightdm
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"
[ -d /sbin ] && PATH="$PATH:/sbin"
[ -d /usr/sbin ] && PATH="$PATH:/usr/sbin"
[ -d "$HOME/bin" ] && PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
# restore the background
nitrogen --restore &
# keyring and polkit daemons
/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11 &
# super alone simulates Alt-F1
ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1' &
ksuperkey -e 'Super_R=Alt_L|F1' &
# dpms: timeout sleep off
xset dpms 600 900 1200
# keyboard repeat rate
xset r rate 350 60
Tomorrow before updating this distro, I try to insert compton -b &.
and see if it’s okay.
Thank @natemaia

Not much has changed in this file, and we never touch files in existing users home directory when updating.
You can always see the current files in /etc/skel
or https://bitbucket.org/archlabslinux/skel

Hi,now the conky are no longer transparent, what I need to change to have transparent conky?
Thank
Ector
Cheers
Edit
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Conky#Transparency
following the arch wiki, but the conky are too transparent even with argb_value, the conky radar seems unwatchable, so what has changed since before?
I don’t know and it’s been a long time since I’ve used conky. Use the default from /etc/skel/.config/conky and see if it has the same problem.

yes, I’m using the compton.conf and conky from / etc / skel, but it doesn’t become transparent.
The conky problem,must be correlated with al-compositor and compton.
But I don’t understand where the error lies, on the latest version of ArchLabs that made me download, the same conky are transparent.
Thank
Cheers
