non-focus bar cursor is not displayed? 13 years

Jeff Sparkes

I've been updating the cursor code in xemacs-gtk to use cairo instead of gdk. It seems that the bar cursor is deliberately not displayed when the frame doesn't have focus. Is that a design decision? It seems a bit odd to me. -- Jeff Sparkes jsparkes(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

'hg commit' : abort: no username supplied (see "hg help config") 13 years

Alan Mackenzie

Hi, XEmacs. When I do "hg commit", I get the error message abort: no username supplied (see "hg help config") . hg help config gives a list of possible config files, and when I get as far as 'man hgrc', my eyes start glazing over. Would somebody please give me a quick tip on how to fix this error, and possibly even warn me of other things to come. Thanks! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

I don’t think there will be, no; each face is only created once, and that’s when this code is called. > There's probably a better place to invalidate the cache, somewhere along > the (set-face-background ...) execution path, don't you think? Yes. Or don’t cache at all for the custom-face code. An interesting thing is that since custom was written initially (for GNU Emacs), GNU have integrated their multi-tty support, which poses the problem we’ve been addressing in XEmacs-specific code all along, of specifiers with different values for different devices. It may be that their version of this code now is worth porting over. -- ‘Iodine deficiency was endemic in parts of the UK until, through what has been described as “an unplanned and accidental public health triumph”, iodine was added to cattle feed to improve milk production in the 1930s.’ (EN Pearce, Lancet, June 2011) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Changing background color 13 years

Vin Shelton

Greetings - If I do the following in my .emacs: (set-face-foreground 'default "LightYellow") (set-face-background 'default "Black") The custom-properties of the current frame do not change: (frame-property (selected-frame) 'custom-properties) ==> (type x class color background light) even though the 'background property should be 'dark after the set-face-background call. The fact that the background is mis-identified as 'light, confuses font-lock and hyper-apropos (and probably other libraries) into using the wrong foreground color for fonts. For instance, font-lock-comment-face (in the current frame) has a color of blue4 instead of gray80. Here is the definition of font-lock-comment-face from font-lock.el: (defface font-lock-comment-face '((((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground "gray80")) ;; blue4 is hardly different from black on windows. (((class color) (background light) (type mswindows)) (:foreground "blue")) (((class color) (background light)) (:foreground "blue4")) (((class grayscale) (background light)) (:foreground "DimGray" :bold t :italic t)) (((class grayscale) (background dark)) (:foreground "LightGray" :bold t :italic t)) (t (:bold t))) "Font Lock mode face used to highlight comments." :group 'font-lock-faces) You can see that it's matching the (background light) specifier instead of (background dark). Subsequent frames get the right interpretation of background color: (make-frame) (frame-property (selected-frame) 'custom-properties) ==> (type x class color background dark) Does anyone know where the calculation is done that deduces whether the frame's background is light or dark? It seems the (set-face-background 'default ....) should call that code. BTW, here's how I'm working around this particular problem: ;; Set faces and colors (and (equal (emacs-type) "xemacs") (set-face-font 'default "-*-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1") (set-face-foreground 'default "LightYellow") (set-face-background 'default "Black")) ;; Workaround #4 (setq initial-frame-plist '(custom-properties (class color background dark))) (frame-notice-user-settings) I never used to have this problem because I used X resources to set the foreground and background color and that caused the custom-properties to get set correctly prior to the instantiation of the first frame.

Accelerators in menubar (ugly underscores) 13 years

Vin Shelton

Is there some way to disable the (grotesque, IMO) underscore under the "F" in "File", the "E" in "Edit", etc? When I evaluate: (set-menubar '(("ZZZZ" ["YYYY..." find-file]))) in the *scratch* buffer, this did not change the current menubar (even after I call set-menubar-dirty-flag), but when I changed to a new mode, i.e. M-x info, I do get get a new menubar with: ZZZZ Info but both the leading Z and the leading I were underlined (see the attached menubar2.png). Insights appreciated. Regards, Vin _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Re: widgets & configure 13 years

Or maybe it works by accident (configure ignores it and configures the Lucid menubar by default). It will give you a warning in recent autoconf though. > BTW I compiled 21.5.29 with the 3d athena option but I could not detect > any difference to the xemacs 21.5 version which was compiled without > this option. can you provide a screenshot of how xemacs should look with > athena 3d? It's only going to be visible in dialogs and the Customize buffer, and maybe buffers tabs, since XEmacs provides its own 3d effect for the modeline, toolbar, menubar, and scrollbar. It's possible that a 3d Athena is used by default (it's supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the flat widgets). Check your config.log to see what configure thinks it is using. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

[Bug: 21.5-b29] customize: Set Save Done button disappeared 13 years
