I had a little trouble:
Screen.cc:2165: error: `min' undeclared (first use this function)
...but I declared my own in a couple of places and it worked afterwards:
#define min(X, Y) \
({ typeof (X) x_ = (X); \
typeof (Y) y_ = (Y); \
(x_ < y_) ? x_ : y_; })
Yeah, I know, I'm being gross. :)
A few issues:
1) My toolbar clock started missing the last digit on occasions. It was
supposed to show "01:06 07/11" and the last "1" was missing. The space
allocated for it was the same as when it's fully shown so it should have
enough space. My toolbar clock format is "%H:%M %d/%m".
I can reproduce it:
* hide toolbar
* `date 11070107`
* show toolbar, it's "01:07 07/11"
* `date 11070108`
* hide&show toolbar, it's "01:08 07/1"
If you can't reproduce it I can tell you more about the particular setup
of my toolbar (fonts, sizes, style that affects it, workspace names). I
tried with several styles to the same end, BTW.
2) Could it be possible to modify the patch so that it follows a config
option and renders either AA or regular fonts? A style-based option
would be the greatest, but does blackbox needs a restart for the change
to happen? Otherwise, a rc option would be just as nice.
I can tweak my fontconfig setup or change blackbox binary to turn AA
on/off, but other less knowledgeable people may find an option easier to
apply.
3) The patch takes a bit of fuzz to apply, and I'm a bit anal, so can I
suggest updating it against 0.65 final? :) Oh, and uploading it to
SF.net too, that's where people look for bb patches and I only found
beta7 there, which didn't work.
