Re: how does ballon-help work under X?

Andy Piper <andyp(a)parallax.co.uk&gt; writes: That's because it's not called. The code you see in balloon-x.c is experimental and should IMHO be removed. Under X, balloon helps are created as tiny frames, which is somewhat bulky and very slow. I think balloon help should be cleanly implemented via device methods. Kyle disagrees because she thinks it is useless to have to reimplement the various stuff the frame code does, such as placement of images and I18N chars in balloon help, which is currently possible under X. I see her point, but I think we should remove the images support from balloon help rather than keep the frame-based implementation (the system tooltips look so much nicer). But Kyle is the maintainer, and I didn't press on that. So that's the story. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- We are all just prisoners here of our own MAKEDEV.
