.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-d\ display
Specifies the display to manage.
.TP
.BI \-r\ radius
Specifies the blur radius for client-side shadows.
.TP
.BI \-o\ opacity
Specifies the opacity for client-side shadows.
.TP
.BI \-l\ left-offset

.TP
.BI \-c
Client-side compositing with soft shadows and translucency support.
.TP
.BI \-f
When \-c is specified, enables a smooth fade effect for transient windows like
menus, and for all windows on hide and restore events.
.TP
.BI \-n
Simple client-side compositing.
.TP
.BI \-s
Server-side compositing with hard-edged shadows.
.TP
.BI \-C
When \-c is specified, attempts to avoid painting shadows on panels and docks.
.TP
.BI \-F
When \-f is specified, also enables the fade effect when windows change their
opacity, as with transset(1).

.BI \-S
Enables synchronous operation.  Useful for debugging.
