FS#513 - systray background not transparent User who did this - Uli Schlachter (psychon) ----------
The "caw" panel/bar depends on xcb and xpyb and does support fake transparency for the system tray icons. Even when run within awesome. So why should awesome not be able to do this?
Well, we can make do this, too. We just have to set each wibox' background to be the wallpaper. However, when the wibox is repainted, this would make the wallpaper "flicker through". No idea how other tray providers handle this, but it is ugly. The more proper way that is specified by the system tray specifications involves the RENDER and DAMAGE extensions and would need a way more complicated code. Just setting the background image of the system tray "container window" isn't easy either, because we'd then have to get the wallpaper and cut out the correct part of it. Nothing of this sounds like a terrible good approach to me. ---------- More information can be found at the following URL: http://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=513#comment2420 You are receiving this message because you have requested it from the Flyspray bugtracking system.
