   * Graphical glitches on Intel graphics cards can be avoided by changing the acceleration method to UXA ([issue 595](https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/595))
   * Window managers that do not follow exactly the EWMH specification might not interact well with tint2 ([issue 627](https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/627)).
   * Full transparency requires a compositor such as Compton (if not provided already by the window manager, as in Compiz/Unity, KDE or XFCE).
-  * As of version 16.0, tint2 requires a C11 compiler (such as GCC version 4.9 or newer).
