When "background transparency compatibility mode" is disabled (default) there is no change wrt. earlier e16 versions. Most PT apps (Eterm afaik being the only exception) use the background pixmap reported on the root window (i.e. the first desk), regardless of virtual roots, i.e. PT apps use the wrong background image when not on the first desktop. There have been countless questions about this issue over time. When "background transparency compatibility mode" is enabled the background pixmap of the *current* desk is reported on the root window, which makes most PT apps seem to behave properly in most situations. The cost is unnecessary PT ops in apps that should not be affected when switching desks. The term "background transparency compatibility mode" is probably not very well chosen, suggestions for a better one are welcome :) The compatibility in question was in my mind compatibility with every PT app other than Eterm (which behaves properly in any case). /Kim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
