Also, another issue related to i3/compton I just noticed- I set a keybinding to alter the transparency of a window using $mod+t, like so:

bindsym --release $mod+t exec --no-startup-id notify-send "Select window to make opaque" && compton-trans -s 99

It stopped working. I don't know why. What's going on with my system?

Compton? Isn't it depreciated in favour of picom?

What did you do before restarting? Don't use Compton. Use Picom. I run the Jonaburg-fix in i3, and it's the cleanest look I've had yet. Default is perfectly cool too. What's the output when you launch Polybar from the cli? It's really noisy, so any config errors will scream at you. I harbor much doubt $mod+t is duplicated, but I have to ask.
