Re: xemacs background pixmaps (ala Eterm)

You are welcome to do this though. Doing it cleanly will take some effort though. If I understand correctly this is done by taking a snapshot of part of the root window and then using that as the background pixmap? If then you could also implement it that way. Make a new frame-property that returns a glyph containing the background and then you can use (set-face-background-pixmap 'default (frame-background-glyph (selected-frame)) (selected-frame)) Of course you have to make sure the glyph is updated when the frame is moved and/or resized. Or does eterm do it some other way? Xshape extension? Whatever you do, start from the 21.2 series. This area has been touched quite heavily there. Jan
