Greetings,
I am a new subscriber to this list but I have been following AS
development since the transition from BowMan to the current
implementation. I must say that your work has been excellent and has
been greatly appreciated.
Since 1997 I have been working on design and development of a VRDP
(Virtual Reality Desktop Protocol) and after several years of RnD
I would like to use AfterStep as the window management base.
In short, I would like to discus the implementation of truly shaped
frames. After a brief perusal of the code in borders.c and frames.c
it is apparent that the shape extension is being utilized. Before I
insult or misstate I would like to know if there is any reason "NOT" to
fully implement shaped frames. If there are no issues in this area is
it under consideration. Finally, is it a matter of not setting the
default background of Window and Frame components to the BlackPixel
default?
Thanks For The Great Work!!!
