As i'm not familiar with such technics, so i leave that up to them who

I tried that, but the result was kind of funny. The background then
was a part of the mlterm configuration window. But that is not
important now. I can wait for 3.x.

There are several possible implemantation of translucent color
background and each of thme have pros and cons.

- dumb method
  1) get root pixmap
  2) do color-blending
  3) set the result as a mlterm's background

  pro: any color can be specified for blending
  con: color-blending can be very very slow

- aterm's hack
  1) get root pixmap
  2) copy only part of color plane ( ex. copy only blue)
  3) set  the result as a mlterm's background
  
  pro: color-plane limited copy can be done on X server and be very fast.
  con: the color to specify must be one of R/G/B plus green/yellow/magenta

- use recent extensions for X
  1) set the background of mlterm's widnow to be half transparent.
  2) recuest xcompmger to do the right thing

  pro: it may be hardwere accererated and quite fast.
  con: require xrender / xcompose / xfix.

I'll consider to support one of them in mlterm 3.x.

For mlterm 2.9.x, you can set translucent image as a background.
i.e. if you set 1x1 blue half-transparent image(attached) as
 mlterm -p 1x1_blue.png

Note that the feature was implemented only to take fancy screenshots and 
not meant to be used for serious task. it makes window resizing sluggish
and non't update window background when the window is moved.

Basically, OK.
But Araki-san's coding style is:

	int
	function(void)
	{
		foo() ;

		return  1 ; /* anyway, return 1 (means true) */
	}

This way is useful for future extension like:

	int
	function(void)
	{
		foo() ;
		if( ! bar())
		{
			/* bar() failed */
			return  0 ;
		}

		return  1 ;
	}

Hmm, judging from wmaker-0.91/src/client.c, 
wmaker should be able to process PropertyNotyfy for XA_Wm_HINTS.
Maybe I'm not correctly understanding on which window the property
should be set.

Anyway, the feature is not essential one and should not block 2.9.2
release. I'll investigate the way of wmaker in post 2.9.2 series.

Patch against todays CVS to fix some compiler warnings which SuSE's autobuild
won't accept is attached.

Is that patch OK?

[Mlterm-dev-en] feature request: coloured transparency

[Christian Z. <zo...@su...>]

Hi mlterm developer,

before i changed to mlterm i was using wterm. And i loved one feature
of wterm very much: It was able to set the beckground to shaded
transparency which was colored at the same time. I used different
colours for different user/machine but could see the desktop picture
shine through.
wterm -bg blue -sh -tr

Is it possible to add such a feature to mlterm as well?

It seems to have no effect.

I tested GIMP which can change the own icon dynamically.
But I got the same result on wmaker and sawfish.

[Mlterm-dev-en] scim...switch scim-modules

[<ga...@ne...>]

hi,

i tried from-cvs mlterm, with the scim input mode.

it works fine, except one thing:

i cannot switch between the scim-modules using the keyboard shortcuts.

i use the following keyboard shortcuts:

enable/disable-scim: control+shift+space
next-scim-method: control+shift+down
prev-scim-method: control+shift+up

and those prev/next-scim-method shortcuts do not work ;(

any ideas?

Thanks for testing. I didn't expected it would work on twm...

The only property cared by WMaker/sawfish seems be XA_WM_HINTS. 
Do they notice the change of icon with attached patch?

mlcc is useful for me.
I added the following aliases to ~/.bashrc.

function launch_with_icon ()
{
	ICON_DIR=/home/sch/Icons

	case $1 in
	vim|vimdiff)
		ICON=$ICON_DIR/gvim.png

	mutt)

	man)

		ICON=""

	esac

	if test x$ICON = x ; then
		$@
	else
		mlcc icon_path $ICON
		$@
		mlcc icon_path $ICON_DIR/mlterm-icon-gnome2.png
	fi
}

if test x$TERM = xmlterm ; then
	alias vim="launch_with_icon vim"

[Mlterm-dev-en] window icon

[MINAMI H. <mi...@mi...>]

Hi,

I've committed changes to allow each mlterm window have
its own icon image and make the icons configurable at run-time.

The feature may not work depending on your window manager etc.
Since we are planning to release mlterm 2.9.2 by the end of this month
and I'm going to include this change into next release,
please let me know if it works for you.


How to use:

NOTE: You have to compile mlterm with gdk-pixbuf or imlib support.

* by command-line option

1. run mlterm in a "daemon mode" (with "-j blend" or "-j genuine")
2. run "mlclient --iconpath=/path/to/an/image/file"

then new window with specified icon should be opened.

For example,
 mlclient --iconpath=/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/vim.xpm -e vim
may open a window running vim with vim's icon.


* sending escape sequence

On a shell running mlterm, execute 
 echo -e "\033]5379;icon_path=/path/to/an/image\007"
and the icon of the mlterm window should be changed.

If you have installed "mlcc", you can use 
 mlcc icon_path /path/to/an/image
instead of composing a magic string.


In both cases, the icon belongs to a pty, not to a window.
i.e. if you create multiple ptys using Ctrl-F2 and change 
one of their icons, the icon of mlterm window will
reflect the pty on it when you switch ptys using Ctrl+F3/F4.

I tried to build this from the current CVS HEAD of mlterm
but it failed.

The first problem was an error message from libtool "could not infer
tag, please use --tag" which I could fix with the patch below.

But even after that it still didn't build, probably because
I tried to build against scim 1.1.3 and I apparently the scim code
currently in mlterm CVS is for an older version of scim.

I have no time to look into that currently, maybe I try next week.
