# Usage:

 First of all, set the parameters at the beginning of the file and save the changes. 

 

 To start the visualizer, execute this script. To stop it, execute this script again.

 *NOTE:* You will probably need a compositor for your desktop (like Compton) to be able to use transparent colors with urxvt.

# Dependencies (and credits): 

- [xdotool](https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool)

- [cava](https://github.com/karlstav/cava)

- [devilspie](https://github.com/plaes/devilspie)

- URxvt

# Description:

This script starts the cava music visualizer on a transparent backround through URxvt

('cause it's easy to customize and supports transparent foreground and background). It

then uses devilspie to strip it of his window decorations and rules, move it to the 

right place and resize it.

# Note:

Before report an issue, check if the problem is only correlated to cava.
