Arch Linux

Notes: you'll want a compositing manager most likely
Default config will be found at /etc/gromit-mpx/gromit-mpx.cfg
That config can be copied to ~/.gromit-mpx.cfg and customized
F9/Shift-F9 to toggle on/off.

This isn't too far ahead of the 1.1 gromit-mpx package right now.

The source has also now moved to https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx.git

It built OK for me, but it didn't install (I had gromit-mpx installed already) because of that comma you've got in the conflicts array. Please remove the comma.

I won't be able to touch this for a while, but if you want to fix or take it over, I'd orphan it. Let me know.

i cant build with makepkg.

Note that I'm currently using compton for compositing and gromit-mpx-git plays well with it.

1. You will benefit from running a compositing manager (cairo-compmgr, compiz, xcompmgr) when using gromit-mpx. Performance will suffer otherwise.
2. `gromit-mpx &` in a terminal or in, for instance, your .xinitrc will get things started
3. Customization is through a .gromit-mpx.cfg file in $HOME. You can copy a sample config from /usr/local/etc/gromit-mpx/gromit-mpx.cfg to the dotfile in $HOME.
4. F9/Shift-F9 to toggle on/off.
