Hello friends
Today I am going to present you a composite manager for XFCE
and I will show you how to install and configure it
For this video I am using Xubuntu 14.04 on 64 bit
and for my AMD Gpu I am using the open source drivers
provided by the oibaf ppa
Our composite manager is called "Compton"
A composite manager is responsible for the final image displayed on the screen
and one of the main attribution is to prevent tearing,
those visual artifacts of the image
Compton prevents this effect very well on XFCE
and besides this it has some effects like drop shadows, fade and transparency
First you have to disable the default XFCE compositing
by going to System Settings - Window Manager Tweaks  
in section Compositor uncheck "Enable display compositing"
To install Compton you need to enter this 3 commands into the terminal
the first one adds the Compton ppa 
the second one to update the software sources
and the last one to install the package
To change Compton's settings we have to work with a text file
because it doesn't have a GUI
We have to create a file named "compton.conf"
Go to the home folder and press Ctrl+H to show hidden files
then go to ".config" and create your file
named "compton.conf"
Open the file and paste in the copied content from the web page
To make Compton to autostart at system boot
we have to go to System Settings - Session and Startup
- Application Autostart
click on Add
Give it a name and a description if you wish
and at section "Command" write in small caps "compton"
When your reboot your system Compton will be active and running
I remind you that all the settings will be available through compton.conf
For example I changed the fade duration from 4 to 3 
You can find in the video description the link to this web page
so you can read more about Compton
I am very pleased by Compton,
I got rid of Youtube and SMplayer video tearing
and also I have noticed a decrease in GPU load and temperature
So Compton is an excelent compositing manager
for XFCE desktop environment
It is possible that Compton is not going to work with proprietary drivers for Nvidia and AMD Gpu
That's it for now
Thank's for watching and see you next time
