I just downloaded and compiled (linux) aterm 1.0beta3. I noticed that this
version, like those immediately before it, no longer seems to contain
support for background images or XPM's without using the Afterstep libs.
My current version of 0.4.2 does. With only less than 300mb of space left
on my disk I don't have the room for a full Afterstep install and still
have usable work space left over. Is it only the AS libs it needs now for
background image display?
The new versions look nice, but I miss the image features. I saw the
BACKGROUND_IMAGE define in config.h, but that will only cause background
support to be listed in Aterm's feature support list but not really enable
images. Using the AS libs instead of (seems like) libxpm I'm sure makes
more sense for people that have the full windowmanager installed, but us
aterm-only people miss fancy backgrounds.
