Description postix 2020-01-15 17:28:21 UTC
I think it could be convenient to have an OSD telling if the compositor has been turned on or off instead of silently flickering once Alt+Shift+F12 is pressed.

I would prefer feedback in the form of specifying the problem rather than proposing a solution.

Sure! When turning the compositor off, depending on the settings of the compositor, it may be hard to tell a difference and thus to determine it's state. Therefore I wanted to have an OSD if you can follow my argument.

We haven't had other requests and on Wayland it's not relevant. It's not worth it at this point.

I already had forgotten about it. Thanks for closing it. :)
