Easy one this (I hope), how do I get the background pixmap (or border) of a window ? Short I know, but size isn't important. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Who : Ian Ellison-Taylor | | Where: RT3151, Room G44, SSTF, British Telecom Research Labs, | | Heavy Weopons Division, Martlesham Heath, | | Ipswich, IP5 7RE, UK. | | Phone: +44 473 646619 | | Email: iellison@axion.bt.co.uk | | Quote: "Zeesthwarg recommended texts: | | Penguin pop-up Karma Sutra | | C5 owners manual." | +----------------------------------------------------------------+

how do I get the background pixmap (or border) of a window ? From the server, you can't.

I have some questions about the backgroundPixmap resource supported by the Xaw widgets: Do they work in color ? On my Sun, specifying a background pixmap causes the client to die with a "BadMatch" error. Presumably this is because the background pixmap has a depth of 1 and the color server wants a depth of eight. Also, a quick look at the string to pixmap conversion code in Xmu seems to show that the widget will accept a background pixmap or foreground/background colors but not both. It seems to me that one should be able to specify all three parameters. The foreground and background colors would be used for painting the background bitmap. Any comments ? =========================================================================== _/_ / __ ______ <__ (_) / / / <_ Tom Jarmolowski jarmolowski%esdsdf.decnet@crd.ge.com (609) 722-4298
