Hi,
This is my first email to this mailing list and I was wondering if anyone could
tell me how to draw a root window on the display using xlib with a 32-bit color
depth so that I can use RGBA colors on the child windows. As far as I know, I
could be wrong though, the child window cannot use the alpha channel if it is
not a 32-bit color depth window, and for it to be a 32-bit depth window it's
parent has to also be a 32-bit depth window. Basically what I'm trying to do
is I'm trying to set a root window with a color depth of 32-bit that has a
scaled 24-bit image loaded as the background, and I want another window that
will be the child of this parent, or root, window, which will have a
translucent effect similar to the window borders in Microsoft windows 7. if you
need more details I have posted a similar question on stack overflow with more
details on the code that I'm using to create the root window. Hopefully I was
clear on my question.
Thanks!
Sajeeb Roy
