this git seems dead but for the low chance someone sees this i cant seem to get transparency working, is there any config or any source code i could change? idk anything about coding but it annoys me so i wanna try to fix it
maybe its a terminal issue not supporting transparency or just a compton issue but i have no idea

Build command fails on OpenBSD 6.5-release because it can't find X11/Xlib.h. One must specify the path to X11R6 as follows:

C_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/X11R6/include" LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/X11R6/lib" clang -Wno-parentheses -std=c11 -pedantic -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE oneko.c -o oneko -lc -lm -lX11 -lXext

Oneko currently only supports x11, as wayland didn't exist when it was first coded, however as many Linux systems move to prefer wayland, oneko lags behind.

Is it posible for you to add new picture - crosshair, and give an setup option to allow picture to follow mouse pointer without any delay and stay every time exactly in mouse cursor position? Or - better - option to use user defined picture (png or other format), for example:
oneko -nodelay -userpic path/mypic.png
oneko -nodelay -userpic path/mypic.xbm (xbm I can create using GIMP)
I can create picture of crosshair.

Overview

When running any command (regardless of type given in any ReadMe file, blog, etc.), no executable is made anymore like it was in the older versions of Mac OSX. Nothing is produced except random (non-executable) files in the same tar-extracted directory, not in /usr/bin/, /opt/<dir>/, etc. so there is no longer any way to execute oneko from the terminal.

Commands attempted

clang -Wno-parentheses -std=c11 -pedantic -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE oneko.c -o oneko -lc -lm -lX11 -lXext

clang -Wno-parentheses -std=c11 -I/opt/X11/include -L/opt/X11/lib -pedantic -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE oneko.c -o oneko -lc -lm -lX11 -lXext

C_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/X11R6/include" LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/X11R6/lib" clang -Wno-parentheses -I/opt/X11/include -std=c11 -pedantic -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE oneko.c -o oneko -lc -lm -lX11 -lXext

Details

Specifically with the -I[...] -L[...] options, I get the error:

oneko.c:745:5: error: implicit declaration of function 'pause' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    pause();
    ^
oneko.c:812:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive [-Wextra-tokens]

Is it possible to make the cat pass clicks through to the window below? Currently he's interfering with my mouse, and while this is typical cat behaviour it does make him quite a pest. :)

Possibly related to #2 .

Thanks!

As display resolutions are much higher these days, neko is quite small on FullHD displays. Is it possible to increase the size of the displayed neko? I am not a programmer so I increased the sizes of the bitmaps and bitmasks from 32x32 to 64x64 with GIMP and recompiled the code. Nevertheless it only lead to display glitches. Next I tried to change some values in the code:

AnimalDefaultsData AnimalDefaultsDataTable[] = { { "neko", 13, 6, 32, 32, 125000L, 0, 0, mouse_cursor_bits,mouse_cursor_mask_bits, mouse_cursor_width,mouse_cursor_height, mouse_cursor_x_hot,mouse_cursor_y_hot },

I changed the 32, 32 to 64,64 but this had not effect on the size of neko.

When accidentally using the scroll (middle) wheel of the mouse on top of oneko, the desktop virtual environment changes.

Is it possible to deactivate any interactions from the mouse wheel and the oneko ?

Can we make a direction for the tofocus... since , most of my windows are full screen. I can't see oneko.

It would be great if it can go to the bottom, right corner (on top of window):
