From what I can see the kiosk-shell in Weston 9.0 should draw a grey (0.5,
0.5, 0.5) solid colour background. However on my NXP embedded system it
shows as black.
Should the kiosk-shell in Weston 9.0 actually draw grey ?
If so is there some configuration I'm missing or is there a bug with that
release ?

Hi Terry,
kiosk-shell until some point after 9.0.0 (until commit 73aaf14e to be
precise), has a hardcoded grey background. I just verified this works
fine with 9.0.0, at least with an Intel GPU.
The aforementioned commit changes the default background to black and
allows reading a background color value from the .ini file, like
desktop-shell does.
If you are not seeing a grey background, could it be the case that the
Weston version you are using is not actually pure 9.0.0 but is based on
some commit after 9.0.0 (so really version 9.0.9x) that also includes the
background-color support?
The first lines of your Weston log should provide information about the
exact version/build you are running. What do the lines say?
In the email subject you wrote "Weston 8", is this a typo?
Thanks,
Alexandros
Hi Alexandros,
Thanks for the reply, Yes, the "Weston 8" in the subject was a typo, sorry.
The Weston 9 used is that in the NXP Yocto hardknot release.
Actually looking at the Yocto sources for that, it is actually based on
an NXP GIT at: git://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/weston-imx.git,
e73c641e076aa68e8ef69dbd56c7a252117b2c83 with some additional minor
patches. I assumed it was based directly on the upstream Weston GIT. So
as the background colour should be grey in the upstream 9.0.0 release I
suspect some issues in the NXP modifications and/or hardware interface.
So I will ask on the NXP forums on this.
But just for info:
Looking at the kiosk-shell code it does not have the config file
background-color support. In general I have no issues with Weston on
this platform, its just when trying to implement a switch of the output
device for a full screen application, I need to redraw the background on
the old output and I found that this wasn't working and it actually
should have been grey anyway.
