Transparent Windows
Hey there, I'm looking for a way to make my GTK windows transparent, does anyone have any good example C source code for this out there? The effect I'm looking for is something like the one in gdesklets, but since gdesklets are written in Python, it wont help me all that much. in advance thanks, Greets Kenneth ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
How to control one GTK application by another
Hi all, I have two applications A and B (both GTK) and i want to control B from A. Application B is not written by me and there is no IPC mechanisms that it supports (such as pipes or sockets or shared files). By control i mean i want to access all the facilities in B from A. Facilities such as pushing buttons, filling text area by some text and even starting and closing of that application. Is there any way of doing this. Searching through net i found that i first need to get the windowid of the application B when it starts. How can i get the window ID of another application and how do i generate events (like pushing buttons) for application B from A. Please help me out... its urgent Thanks in advance.

GLib 2.7.4 released
GLib 2.7.4 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.7/ glib-2.7.4.tar.bz2 md5sum: ae4af9e16eda62dc77df232dd8be7c22 glib-2.7.4.tar.gz md5sum: 291da7986e876d8b65a4461eb47edc60 This is the fifth development release leading up to GLib 2.8. Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GLib 2.6. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.6.5. * GLib 2.8 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.6.x series. The new API additions in GLib 2.7.x are finalized at this point, and GLib 2.7.x should be considered API frozen. Unless serious issues with the new APIs come up, there will be no API changes between this release and the 2.8.0 release. * GLib 2.7.3 contains changes which make the reference counting of and signal emission in GObject thread-safe. While the patch (see bug 166020) has been subject to several rounds of review, it would be worthwhile to pay particular attention to possible problems due to this change. We will make a final evaluation of the atomic refcounting changes before releasing 2.8. * Remaining issues for GLib 2.8 can be found with the following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=glibtarget_milestone=2.8 +API+Freezetarget_milestone=2.8 +Freezebug_status=NEWbug_status=UNCONFIRMEDbug_status=ASSIGNEDbug_status=REOPENED * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. About GLib == GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.

Just check the documentation:

Returns : a pointer to the contents of the widget as a string. This

unfocussed windows
hi hi, as part of my test suite I run GUI tests. Now this is a bit disturbing as windows flicker around. A first idea I had was to avoid that these windiows become active. I thought about using: gtk_window_set_focus_on_map(GTK_WINDOW(main_window),FALSE); gtk_window_set_accept_focus(GTK_WINDOW(main_window),FALSE); The problem here is, when I get hold of the window-object reference it already did the call to gtk_widget_show_all(GTK_WIDGET(main_window)); Anyone a cool idea to get around that problem? A second but more complex idea is to use an virtual frame-buffer like: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb -ac :9 -screen 9 1024x786x16 And the setting this display as the default one before opening any window. Unfortunately this involves 1) setting up the virtual display from the test suite 1a) either checking if its already up and using it 1b) finding a 'free' display number, using it and afterwards teminate it 2) redirecting the app there I have no idea wheter 1a) or 1b) is more practical, both sound tricky. I've just started up one such virtual display and then run the ChangeDisplay example of the gtk-demo and it not lists my virtual framebuffer X. Still running gtk-demo --display=:9.0 works. Any idea why its not listed? And any plan how you would do it? Nuff asked ;) Have a nice weekend!

I'd say 1b is probably easier. You can check two places for a free display: /tmp/.X11-unix/: Each new display creates a new socked called X## here (where ## is the display number). So if you just try numbers until one doesn't exist, you can use that one. /tmp/.X##-lock: This is just a lockfile that the X server creates to say hey, I'm using this display. Same deal, just find a lockfile that doesn't exist (ok, that's a bit paradoxical), and use that number. Of course, there could be a race condition between checking for a file and starting up the X server, but I'm guessing (hoping) that you're not planning on starting a bunch of these all at the same time. -brian -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFC4ZJh6XyW6VEeAnsRAnmTAKC1FrPOLeGtawx1H5IuUokIjdsx5QCfblrD YOk2GAYgTn/pGA4sLnKUXM0= =19ed -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
