XFCE or pure X11 commands, toggle compositing immediately without restarting X

Solution 1

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing -t bool -s false

true to activate it again.

Solution 2

Just make a keyboard shortcut for this:

xfconf-query --channel=xfwm4 --property=/general/use_compositing --type=bool --toggle

Toggle compositing at the tip of your finger =) P.S: Sorry for necroposting.

    How can i disable compositing via the command line? I need to disable temporarily for some games, like Nexuiz, for use in a wrapper script to toggle compositing status.
