However, that means it can do nothing much, but with STYLE. CHANGES: * add man page from Fedora 6 * allow to build with glib-2.10.x + gtk2-2.6.x (requires enabling use of deprecated glib functions) * don't use deprecated gtk/gdk functions * fix type-punning warning * switch to cygport build framework Setting the root image isn't very effective when using cygwin-X's multiwindow mode, UNLESS you're using an application that implements pseudo-transparency, like some terminal emulators. The cygwin rxvt program does so, if invoked in "X mode" using the "-ip" option. However, xsri is still useful with other window managers, if you don't want to use kcontrol or gnomecontrol or whatever -- because it uses the (semi-)standard xatom "ESETROOT_PMAP_ID" and "_XROOTPMAP_ID" mechanisms. EXAMPLE: within startwin.bat or startxwin.sh: xsri --center-x --center-y --scale-height=100 --scale-width=100 --keep-aspect --emblem= -- Charles Wilson xsri volunteer maintainer for cygwin To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
