RE: How to have more than one X display?

2005-09-02 Thread Soong, SylokeJ
Thanks. I could not find that in XWin man pages, but XWin -help showed it. Though $DISPLAY is ineffectual to XWin, I needed to set it since wmaker (or any xdm) would need to know the display/screen to use. I am a happy clam now. I use wmaker because I don't like using multiwindow mode. I am

Some diffs to try

Some diffs to try out: http://joekrahn.homelinux.com/XWin/ Nice patch for windialogs.c icon issues. Removed hard-wired references to /tmp/XWin.log Still working on icons a bit. Question: How much should I worry about pre-WinXP compatibility? WinXP accepts ARGB icons. I think Win95/NT/2000 do

RDP issues

It's the IDE mindset. I have two/more projects whose windows I prefer to be completely segregated. I could use wmaker multiple desktops to achieve that. However, I prefer a complete segregation. Especially when it involves two versions of the same project. Need to prevent myself from

Facename fonts vs XLFD fonts

2005-09-02 Thread Brian Willis
I have an application that by default looks for the Facename font ncenb14. I can over ride the setting by using the Xdefaults and specifying the XLFD (X Logical Font Description) instead. While this works, it's not the ideal situation. I would rather it just found the Facename name by default.

GetDC(NULL), GetModuleHandle(NULL), etc.

2005-09-02 Thread Joe Krahn
There are several GetDC(NULL) statements. Should these really be GetDC(hwndScreen)? It might make a difference for two screens with different pixel layouts. GetModuleHandle(NULL) is also in several places. Maybe it's OK, but why not use the hInstance global? These probably are just too low

Hi, I'll try out your diff's (I build mainly for Xming.exe), am looking for a solution that names everything appropriate for Cygwin/X and Xming projects (no hard wiring). I've got my own private patches that build for log files and screens etc. named for Xming (e.g. about, exit, Xwinrc to
