Nightbreed 2006-07-29 14:34 I always thought it did.. I remember being able to use a transparent image and still having bsetroot's background color showing through
doctorfrog 2006-07-29 13:23 does bsetroot support transparent pngs?
freeb0rn 2006-07-29 07:02 Ease of use blackbox, configurability litestep--at least IMHO. BBI is quite an amazing plugin and we're lucky to have something that's so easy to use. There's a bit of a difference between small glyphs used for buttons and using actual images to skin every part of the UI, though.
Nightbreed 2006-07-28 19:00 I think for ease of use and configurability, blackbox users wouldn't be bothered with litestep. I've used their xlable before, it's good, but all in all bbi really takes it as far as "easy" to use. A great deal of blackbox already uses images files in one way or another.. either built into the code or user selectable... bbleanskin for example and it's buttons.
freeb0rn 2006-07-28 17:59 I'm not saying that pixmap=LS, but if you're going to use something that's almost basically images you might as well go to LS.
cthu1hu 2006-07-28 17:30 I don't ue pixmapped styles with fluxbox either. hmm. I'd just love to make skins for it.
Nightbreed 2006-07-28 16:56 Pixmapping wouldn't just be a litestep thing though. It would be matching bb4win with Fluxbox. Then again, I don't use pixmaps on my Linux boxes.
Nightbreed 2006-07-28 16:51 The four color thing was the first to pop into my mind, I just didn't want to push it ;)
freeb0rn 2006-07-28 16:16 I'm not sure how it's 3 colors. I think it's 4 (2 for the top half, 2 for the bottom half). However, the gradients could easily be calculated by the shell (like xob can calculate shadow color on its own).
Also, they would be purely optional if the gradientstyle was of a certain type. The same way that implementing "border" didn't break old styles, neither should this.
As for old plugins, yeah, probably (although there should be a default set in cases like this). But why does border work (does it?)? If not, then there's an example of borkedness.
cthu1hu: we might as well use litestep at that point.
Nightbreed 2006-07-28 15:50 Even if that type of gradient feature was added, wouldn't break styling of older plugins?
