>> A pseudo-transparency support hack.


Any idea how to test out this thing? I can't see any window Menu's 
setting for that. Thanks.

OK, a few notes on this:

Pseudo-transparent items must be configured in the theme files.
So, first of all, everything should work as usual if the theme does not
contain transparent items.
To configure an item (ImageClass) to have transparency, it must have the
__TRANSPARENT option set, e.g.
__ICLASS __BGN
  __NAME TT_MAIN
  __NORMAL   "images/image-with-alpha.png"
  __TRANSPARENT  
  __EDGE_SCALING ...
  __PADDING  ...
__END
:
0x01: Blend the image onto current desktop background
0x02: Blend the image onto the root window (overrides 0x01)
0x04: Do *not* apply the image mask to the blended pixmap
The image class must have an image with an alpha channel.
The image class must not use tiling.
As I understand the opacity in relation to the image clip mask, the
mask will have bits set where the opacity is > 50%.
Hence the 0x04 flag, which will cause images with areas with opacity
< 50% not to be shaped accordingly. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
For PT to work, it is also required that
- E is compiled to use imlib2
- The desktop background is internally rendered as a full size pixmap
  (i.e. not tiled or a single color).
NB!
I implemented the pseudo-transparency support mostly to find out how it
could be done, how it would look, and because it was possible.
There are a number of bugs, and the implementation could most likely be
improved.

That should happen fairly soon.  The sooner I get opinions on the new
backgrounds, the sooner I release. :)

they look great to me.  will those be in addition to the current set of 
backgrounds or as a replacement?  the reason i ask is, if they're 
additions, the tiled pix submenu will get way too long unless 
subgroups are created.

I haven't entirely decided.  The 0*.jpg ones are definitely gone.
I'll probably also remove "Blood Spilt," "One If By Land," "Two If By
Sea," and possibly "Firestorm" as well.  Any others I should nuke?

This submenu is generated how?  I added a ton of images and I still get
the old menus.  Could this be dynamically generated from our pixmaps.list
?  Just a thought, or a complete misunderstanding of how those menus
work.

personally, i nuke about half of them from the default install.  mainly
the ones that i consider too bright or too busy (i seem to recal one with
a ship in a previous release).  my concern about the size of the submenus
was mostly for those who don't.

I was hoping for some specific examples of images that you find "too
bright" or "too busy." :)

the random bg image at start is from the pixmaps.list, but the menus 
themselves are in the menu.cfg file from your theme which is not dynamic.

um..  as i no longer have them on my system (they were nuked after all..)  
i can't say which specific ones i got rid of.  in place of that, here's a
list of the ones i kept from the 0.9.2 install:

scale:
Neopolis-horizon.jpg
day-night.jpg
nebula.jpg
ripple.jpg
wasteland.jpg
wintertree.jpg

tile:
004.jpg
blackstone.jpg
blue_marble.jpg
cyber_bg.jpg
lightb1.jpg
ripple.jpg
shale.jpg
space.png
starry.jpg
steel1.jpg
twisted.jpg

also, i moved nebula from tile to scale (makes more sense to me that way).  
these are of course chosen due to my particular tastes, so i'd expect 
others would prolly keep some i got rid of and nuke some i kept..

Did you try using --with-edb=$prefix?
Did you try running ldconfig before, just to be sure?
