Some widgets simply draw on their parent window, and some widgets (those that can receive user events) draw on their own low-level window. The widgets with their own windows (e.g. GtkButton, GtkEntry) are opaque and completely hide what's behind. However, you can punch holes into their shape (gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask) to reveal what's behind. Alpha blending is not possible though. So, this wouldn't work with your findbar idea. Windowless widgets (e,g, GtkImage, GtkLabel) can be composed on top of each other and support alpha blending just fine. Your findbar needs text input, so it's not a windowless window. On modern Linux desktops (but not on the current maemo) you can also use an RGBA colorspace to draw onto the window. The composition manager then blends the window according to the alpha pixel values. This would be the perfect solution for your findbar, as the bar could be implemented as another toplevel window layered above your application window. However, you can't do this on maemo. I suggest looking into GtkStyle to change the background image of the GtkEntry widget. You can grab the screen contents, dim it, and paste into the entry widget. This would create the illusion of translucency.

how to set gtk widget translucent
Hi, All, I want to add a gtk widget on top of another gtk widget, and then set Alpha value to the widget above, make it translucent. for example, I want to add a translucent findbar on a window. I have tried kinds of way to do that, however, there is no any available means that can perform the special effect. So, if you have any good idea, share me PLS. if any sample, that will be delicious:-) Looking forwards to anyone's help. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
RE: Integration with hildon desktop
To my knowledge, there are many parameters to determine what to show in the navigator bar. So I guess that you can try the parameters "StartupWMClass" in your desktop file. To know more info about desktop's parameters file see: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-0.9.4.html -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Barish Sent: 2008年9月27日 3:52 To: maemo-developers@maemo.org Subject: Integration with hildon desktop After much fiddling, I managed to integrate my application in the hildon desktop.

which package is the N810 screen status bar relevant to
As everyone knows, at the bottom of the screen there is a status bar that shows whether the current user pushed Fn and Caps Lock key or not on N810. I have tried to find out the source code relevant to the status bar (such as hildon-input-method) for days. Obviously, it is not an easy job to find out that from the maemo Repositories. So, does anyone know that? Tell me PLS. Thanks. BTW: Many considered the case is relevant to the package called hildon-input-method, but I don't think this is right by some coarse investigation. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
