However, that means it can do nothing much, but with STYLE. This is a routine update. [[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] This is the first release specific for cygwin-1.7; the only differences between this package and the simultaneously-released xsri-2.1.0-3 for cygwin-1.5 are documentation related (the README references cygport-0.9.5 and cygwin-1.7.0-45, and the /usr/share/doc/ layout is influenced by the cygport changes between 0.4.x and 0.9.x). CHANGES (from xsri-2.1.0-2) =========================== o Fork for cygwin-1.7 development o Compiled against new modular X libraries 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 and rxvt-unicode programs do 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 volunteer xsri maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
