transparency breaks ranger image display feature about st

[LukeSmithxyz]

Ok, well needles to say, it works fine on mine with 0xed as the alpha, so my first guess would be something related to your composite manager: which one are you using? Do you have any particular settings on it?

iam using compton with default settings.
in the past i was using rxvt-unicode and it worked fine with transparency but its bloated
and i like the way st treats configs from source, so i guess i will sacrifice transparency until i find a way to fix it
if u have any idea please let me know otherwise you close this since its not a bug in "st" like i thought
thank you Luke ^^

Hmm. Well since we are using the same builds, I can't be sure of the difference to make it fail on your machine and work on mine.

If you want to see my compton config it's here, although I just tried it without the config and the image previews still worked on my computer.

Just to be sure, in case you just reinstalled your system, you do have w3m, etc. installed right?

yes w3m is installed and set as image preview handler in ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf
and here is the list of installed all installed packages you can " Ctrl + F " a specific package you might think it might be the cause https://ghostbin.com/paste/ama7h/raw

the only difference we might have is the wm i use bspwm and you use i3 but i don't think that's the cause anyway i will give i3 a run and see if the problem still persist.
