We can display images now -- asynchronously even!
GTK peers displaying an FVWM XBM image
There's still work left to be done to handle alpha channels and off-screen images, but the majority of the framework is in place. I'd like for our image decoders to be written entirely in Java, mainly to support Java's asynchronous notion of image handling, but also for portability and ease of code maintenance. GdkImlib isn't an option for us, since its API only supports synchronous loading of images. I'll soon start work on a PNG decoder, but we still need volunteers to write image decoders for JPEG and GIF. For those of you that might be interested in writing a decoder, our XBM decoder is a good example of how to structure one. -- Paul Fisher * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
