That won't work if the root window depth is 16. You won't have any place to store your alpha channel. You can do a transparency blit, but then your smooth edges go away. Also, the software alpha cursor code in X sucks out loud. It'll use the normal Render path, yes, but it still blinks violently. - ajax _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
