RE: Running Xwin at 100 dpi
OK, I answered my own question and found my own answer through more testing. Modify startxwin.bat. Use this line to start up Xwin in 100 dpi mode: run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -dpi 100 Add this line to prepend the font path: xset +fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ Run your xterm and specify the font parameters. run xterm -fa "Lucida" -fs 10 -e /usr/bin/bash -l Later, Julian -Original Message- From: Julian Yap [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 22 September 2005 2:05 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Running Xwin at 100 dpi Hi all, I run Xwin to start up my xserver and xterm.

RE: Pseudo Colors on Solaris
Greetings A little more info. I can very the color numbers in rgb.txt and the colors in my xterm windows will change. :) The colors in my solaris window do not change. :( I used an app that came with AutoIT to verify colors in the windows. When I slide the mouse over something red in a xterm window the app showed me the color number. I can change the '255 0 0' in rgb.txt to '255 40 40' and the app will show '255 40 40'. But in the solaris window, '255 0 0' always reads '255 0 0' no mater what I change in rgb.txt. Am I shooting in the right (or left) direction or do xwindow calls from an outside unix box not use color maps or settings on the localhost? Thanks for any direction or kind words.

re: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com
Hi, I'd just like to let you know this still happens with version 6.8.2.0-4 I'm running XP with service pack 2 and the lastest install of cygwin. cheers, James. --- From: David dot A dot Barr at Medstar dot net To: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 11:44:17 -0400 Subject: bug: tool tip popups on minimized windows Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com I'm running release 6.7.0.0-12 with the arguments "-multiwindow -clipboard". I run the X11 version of Emacs (from the emacs-X11-21.2-13.tar.bz2 package) which has tooltip popup windows for the toolbar icons. Even after I minimize the window, I get the tooltips if I leave the mouse where the toolbar used to be. I just wanted to report the problem; I don't know if this is a known issue. I didn't see anything about it in the mailing list archives.
