Hi Earle, I thought we were OK at 32bpp (1280x1024) until I looked again! Device dependence maybe, I'm got an old ATI Rage Pro card (don't ask why?). It's the black and white icon's images that's are going wrong not the masks. The black (0) is rendered transparent. I've just started a trace on

[wishful thinking] cleartype font support

2003-05-31 Thread Lev Bishop
So cygwin/xfree is very nice indeed, but I still can't make fonts look as good as they do natively on windows XP with cleartype. I've read the xfree86 font de-uglifaction howto, played with XftConfig, enabled sub-pixel antialiasing, downloaded and built my own version of the latest freetype dll

Hi Earle, I just love ATI, great hardware... pity about the software! It's always a struggle with drivers, I've got loads of soundcards I have 'fun' with as well. At least the 'old' hardware maybe has a driver on Linux (that's why I still use 'em...) Putting the trumpet away:- Here's my

Hi Colin and Lev: Here's a fix for 32bpp icons on ATI machines. It turns out that I was setting an alpha value which is technically not supposed to be set in each 32bpp pixel. 3dfx and nVidia drivers ignore the value, but ATI looks looks at it and says, Whoa, junk this bitmap! Tests on my

Earle, Any reason we shouldn't install a message hook when the user presses and holds a mouse button or modifier key? On a related note, what is up with winmultiwindowwindow.c/winTopLevelWindowProc()/WM[NC]MOUSELEAVE and the SetTimer call? This must have been something that Kensuke did

Hi, All works for me, and yes the icons are now faultless. To qualify, I only tested 16/24/32 bit 1280x1024 on my ATI Rage Pro + Pentium III on XP Pro SP1! (just in case I get caught out again :)) One or two minor problems on Exit Confirmation window:- Title overlays the icon, if the window is
