Transparent background in window?
Hi, Is it possible to make the background in a window transparent? The reason that I ask is that I have made a splash screen with an image that is not rectangular (transparent background) and I would like the window to appear as having the same shape as the image. I've been looking at gtk_style family, but I haven't found the solution. Any hints?

Killing a GTK Applikation
Hello, i have a problem: I want to write information about a GTK program into a config-file if the X-Window System is going down. I have try to set up a signal handler for the kill signal because there is no signal at killing time. How can i write my informations into a config-file, if the gtk-program is killed by the WindowMaker!

Re: Transparent background in window?
Though I keep hoping somebody will be able to explain to me otherwise, there does not appear to be any way to make top level X windows transparent or translucent with the stock GTK (due to a limitation in X itself, I believe)... However, if all you want is the shape, and the contents don't need to be transparent then take a look at gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask -- http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtkwidget.html#gtk-widget-shape-combine-mask --Brett Egon Andersen, Talura wrote: Hi, Is it possible to make the background in a window transparent?

Hi, this is not correct: when working with pure X11, you can use the Nonrectangular Window Shape Extension which will be provided by #include X11/extensions/shape.h which is part of Xfree86: /usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions There is a good manual concerning this item: X11 NONRECTANGULAR WINDOW SHAPE EXTENSION made by Keith Packard (X Consortium) You will find the document for ex. in nscp.upenn.edu/aix4.3html/x11/specs/pdf/shape.PDF Regards Joachim Backes -- Joachim Backes [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Univ. of Kaiserslautern Computer Center, High Performance Computing | Phone: +49-631-205-2438 D-67653 Kaiserslautern, PO Box 3049, Germany | Fax: +49-631-205-3056 -+ WWW: http://hlrwm.rhrk.uni-kl.de/home/staff/backes.html However, if all you want is the shape, and the contents don't need to be transparent then take a look at gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask -- http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtkwidget.html#gtk-widget-shape-combine -mask --Brett Egon Andersen, Talura wrote: Hi, Is it possible to make the background in a window transparent?

Hi, this is not correct: when working with pure X11, you can use the Nonrectangular Window Shape Extension Thanks, Joachim. But I am not interested in non-rectangular windows via the shape extension (which I have used quite a bit) -- I am interested in translucent rectangular (alpha-blended) top level windows, preferably with minimal modification to X or to GTK. There have been previous discussions on this list (or was it the app-devel list?) about this, indicating that it is possible with DirectFB or perhaps faked using a patch from Owen. Seems like it ought to be possible to create something using the render extension, but performance might be an issue? I'm working in a remote display environment, so DirectFB might not really be feasible... --Brett ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

Drag-n-drop to empty GtkTreeView
Hello, I've gotten drag and drop to work with a GtkTreeView by replacing the functions in the drag dest iface with my own, however none of the functions are called when the tree is empty. Is there something special I can do to handle d-n-d to empty trees, or should I just install a drag handler for the tree's container?

Problems building testgtk
Hi, I'm compiling gtk+ 2.0.6 on Solaris 8 (sparc) with gcc 3.2 and the Sun linker and archiver (/usr/ccs/bin/ld and /usr/ccs/bin/ar, respectively). I am configuring with --disable-static. I have had some problems building testgtk Upon linking testgtk, I get undefined symbols for the following: gtk_major_version gtk_minor_version gtk_micro_version On closer inspection, it seems these are declared in gtkmain.c as const and therefore are treated by gcc-3.2 as private to the translation unit (gtkmain.c) and can't be exported. I suppose there are four possible solutions, but I leave it to the folks who regularly code this stuff to comment: 1. Munge the configure script so that it provides some magical flag to gcc to make it export these variables (don't even know if this is possible, and don't care) if gcc is = 3.x. Very Ugly. 2. Have testgtk.c refer to GTK_MAJOR_VERSION, et al (from gtk.h), instead of gtk_major_version, et al. (from gtkmain.c). I find this ugly and somewhat brute force. 3. Add a function similar to gtk_check_version to gtkmain.c, which will return these three values (major, minor, and micro version). Like it. All this being said, why hasn't anyone else run into this before? Larry ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
write GTK+ shared library
Hi all, I'm new to GTK+. I just followed the Hello World example, and I could compile and run the application. Now, I want to change it from a application to a shared library and then called by another C program, so thatsimilarly adialog box with a button will become up. Any ideas and comments on 1. how to change it to shared library? 2. how to change the C program to call it? Thanks a lot! Best regards, Mullin
