Well, just for the cursor I wouldn't use a sprite library :) You can use StReT (Stack Region Tree) from UniQuE not only for borders, but for every rectangular (non)transparent object on the screen. It handles recursing, clipping and so on. If you pass in a rectangle to update, it will give you all the pieces that you need to blit together without doing too much, i.e. it discards areas below opaque objects. Currently there are three main classes: background, window, cursor. > Next I plan to add a wm_start_desktop function thats called after dfb > is fully initialized to > allow running advanced desktop stuff. Why not have a dedicated application that does the stuff from wm_start_desktop after initializing DirectFB? -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
