Well done!

I have fluxbox on archlinux. I just installed xcompmgr but it doesn't really behave like I'd like it to. Is there a how-to somewhere?

@LTS1287 try installing fluxbox-git-32trans from the AUR (yaourt -S fluxbox-git-32trans). I get proper transparency but no drop shadows, but I don't mind too much.

@nechcemomfg: ah, the typical elitist response...I've read the man page and it hasn't really helped me. The man page just gives you a summary of possible arguments and describes the program's function. It is no substitute for a proper "how-to."

@LTS1287 $ man xcompmgr
