Unfortunately, that depth 32 visual has +alpha bits in the upper 8 bits that enlightenment doesn't understand. +Leaving those zero makes for some pretty transparent windows, hence you +see the background. +</p> + +<p> +xcompmgr did have a bug where enlightenment set the _XSETROOT_ID property +to 0 which caused it to kinda lose when drawing the background. That was +easy enough to fix though. +</p> + +<p> +I have a hacked up xlib which discards depth 32 visuals; using that makes +enlightenment work reasonably well. Of course, the right fix is to make +it understand those visuals and "do the right thing". It shouldn't take +very much work to make Eterm really be translucent, and to fix the +thumbnail window. Sample code for another thumbnail viewer can be found +in /cvs/xapps/uncover. That crashes the server when E is running +right now though. Time to go debug some more :-) +</p> +</blockquote> + +<p> +<a href='http://pdx.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xserver/2003-November/000302.html'>Here's</a> the full message. +</p> + |
