Cairo ARGB window & Compiz Configurator
This is what I’ve been up to.
I asked MacSlow to help me with the C# code that adds the Alpha channel to Gtk.Window, meaning: the window can be transparent or semi transparent. My main problem was that I was using Glade for Window widget and I can’t do that for some reason, or can I ? If anyone knows if I can do this with glade, enlighten me please. I was playing with the code a bit and came up with some pretty nice “notification” like looking app. I believe this can be used for displaying system or application messages and more. libnotify maybe ? Anyway here is a sceeenshot showing it over nautilus window with some pictures in the back:
The other thing I’ve been hacking is Compiz Configurator. I’m coding a simple GTK# GUI for tuning all the Compiz settings which can be found in GConf. So basically it’s just a easy way for Xgl users to configure Compiz effects. I’ve implemented the basic boolean and integer value changing from GConf and not all plugins yet. I’m hoping to make more progress next week and release a test version in the wild.
