move mouse/pointer programmatically or generate mouse move signal
Hello, I would like to know whether there is any way to move mouse programmatically? Also, is there any way to generate motion-notify signal (which is the mouse move signal) ? Any help is appreciated. -- Regards, Praveen ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

RGBA support in GDK.
Hi! The function gdk_screen_get_rgba_visual returns NULL, it means that the capability is not available (according to the documentation). I make a call with the default screen. Can anybody help me how RGBA support can be added? Or maybe how can I set the visual as the default? ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

I believe those storage companies have been sued and have either settled or lost. I would then say mostly in the legal system, KB = 1024. If we muddy the waters by encouraging 1000=KB, we will see more vendor foolishness, and less legal support for when people are lied to by a vendor. ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

This kinds of post would be more suited for the gtk-app-devel-list as this one is for development of GTK+ itself, not applications using it. However, this function is most likely returning NULL because you are not using a compositor like the metacity compositor or compiz. You can't use RGBA without one. -- Travis Watkins http://www.realistanew.com ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

That's indeed the problem. -brian [1] Of course, the marketing departments of some storage media companies arbitrarily decided it could have different meanings in the *same* context too. The marketing departments happen to have the SI standard on their side, like it or not. I completely agree that this is an utterly trivial issue, but if that's the case then why the hell don't we just change to the now standardized unit prefix and forget about it? I think it's either: a) Who cares about the exact value anyway. Let's just display human-friendly quantities as used everywhere else, i.e. powers of 10. b) Well some people do care, and powers of two are convenient in the world of computers. Let's keep that and remove the ambiguity. Arguing that the exact value isn't important, but then insisting on the 1024 convention just seems silly to me. Either it is important or it isn't. In those situation where the difference matters, you need to know the factor. Personally, I don't care about the color of the bike shed, all I care about is that it gets any coating at all. --Daniel ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
