Re: [SHR-U] Transparent qwo
Thanks for all your help! I actually do not have a toolchain set up (though in the coming months I plan to set one up). If you wouldn't mind updating the SHR-U feed to the latest unstable, I would be more than happy to test it out for you =). I think transparent keyboards in illume is certainly something that we have needed for a long time (PS. I kept trying to send this email directly to you, but your mailer-daemon keeps rejecting because it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6).)

The best way would be to recompile shr with the patch. If you can not to that yourself, let me know and I'll update the binary feeds on my webpage to recent SHR-U (but I'll probably not have time to test it on my FR...)

I cant seem to figure out which package in your feed you are referring to when you say you have a patched version of illume in your feed. I grepped through them, but didnt see anything but what appeared to be themes to illumeis that where the patch was applied? If you could point me to the package that has the patched illume version, I would love to try out the transparent qwo on an up to date SHR-U.

2009/8/13 Dan Staley daniel.l.sta...@gmail.com Given that literki seems to be very quick and handles transparency very well, has anyone recently tried a transparent qwo? The transparency in literki is something different. It's only a shaped window. I don't know if it's possible to use alpha blending yet. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Thanks for the reply! I may give it a try when I get the time and I'll report back how it goes. -Dan On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 5:22 AM, Richard Kralovic r...@om.ksp.sk wrote: Hello, I am using transparent qwo, but I haven't upgraded my FR since I wrote the instructions (it's on my todo list, but... :-) ).
