I'd like to be able to make windows on my screen translucent. Is XRender the best way to do that?
The main site for XRender at www.eax.com/render, appears to be down. I don't know if this is still the main site, but its really the only one that I can find on google. I can get a cached copy of the page from google, but of course I can't get a copy of the example programs listed on the page. I'd like to develop a command-line tool (unless there already is one), with which users would provide on the command line, the id number of a window on their display and the translucency level they want, and the program would make the neccessary Xlib calls to set it. I can then use this tool in scripts to play with translucency and not have to modify any of the programs that I want to make translucent. Is this possible? Is there an existing command-line program to do this that I'm not aware of? Could you somehow provide(ex: attachment) some example programs to help me get started. As I said, I can't get any from the www.eax.com/render site. I've seen some screenshots about XRender that show oddly shaped images (rectangle w/ rounded edges, etc...) that are made translucent, but don't have any background between them and the border of the window they are in. The window border doesn't show up at all, the image is just floating there above the other windows on the screen. Was this done with the SHAPE extension, or does XRender have something to do with it? :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
