[Gutters] Cursor movement that affects the region causes gutter flashing pretty bad, even with a static glyph in the gutter. (This was observed after running the sample code in 4 below.) 2. [Gutters] gutter-items need removal methods, since installing them seems pretty complicated. 3. [Gutters] Increasing the widths of the right and left gutters will clobber parts of the modeline(s). Decreasing them again gets the modeline data updated, but not the bevels. Eg, change the code below to stick that XPM in the right-gutter, then remove it (eg, `(set-specifier right-gutter "")'). Check out the modeline. ^L isn't good enough on my box, need to iconify then deiconify. 4. [Gutters] Example code: ;; This probably only looks right with the face set as follows, ; and the same monitor resolution as me: ; (custom-set-faces ; '(default ((t (:size "12pt" :family "Lucidatypewriter"))) t)) ; and an 80 column wide frame. (let* ((gutter-string "==========================") (an-extent (make-extent 13 13 gutter-string)) (a-glyph (make-glyph (vector 'xpm :file (concat data-directory "xemacs.xpm"))))) (set-extent-end-glyph an-extent a-glyph) (set-specifier top-gutter gutter-string) (set-specifier top-gutter-height (glyph-height a-glyph))) Um, howcum `data-directory' is deprecated in its doc-string? I don't see how to find that XPM portably without it. `locate-data-directory' doesn't seem to have any way to do the right thing. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
