[comp.windows.x] XGetStandardColormap

tek@CS.UCLA.EDU (08/31/88)

Has anyone been able to get XGetStandardColormap to work?
Everytime I use it, I get a zero status back. 

Maybe its a question of knowing where these standard colormap
properties reside? I have specified a variety of different things to
the window argument of this function, including root windows and
windows I have created myself. None of them seem to work.

Is this something the window manager should take care of?
If so, does UWM define these correctly?

R2 doesn't have any clients or window managers that create standard
colormaps, so you'll have a hard time retrieving one with
XGetStandardColormap.  Uwm probably ought to have an option to create
one, but it doesn't right now.  Maybe in R3 (oh geez, I can feel the
searing look the staff is sending my way right now ...).
