A compositing window manager mapps all windows somehow into a pixmap and copies the pixmap to the frame buffer. My feeling was that the final pixmap is not very well suited for colour corrections as its colours are already blended. Ideally colours are converted to the device colour space and then they are blended. So while reproducing the window regions including the colour regions might be possible. That approach seem not very robust in case of custom window manager side transformations. As well all colours are already in one pixel plane. One question would be, is this correct? And if yes, is the colour correction on one big root window pixmap a serious practical limitation for a evolving net-color spec? kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- developing for colour management www.behrmann.name + www.oyranos.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
