Well, they are both powerful, I use a background pixmap with alpha blending and vectors stacked on top to draw the button emblems. The major advantage of vectors (imho) is that they use Colorsets, so changing a window's colorset updates the vectors to match. In my experience, vectors are faster than using pixmaps for buttons, but i dont have any stats to back that up :) > > 2) How can I produce my own window decorations (ie. buttons) ?

It's not too hard to write them (it is difficult at first, but it gets easier), I think theres a perl script somewhere that can convert xfig graphics into vectors, i think it's called eps2vector. -- ------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | finger me for my gpg key. ------------------------------------------------------- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
