Re: Windows & backgrounds

First of all let me tell you what I'm to do: I'm trying to do a weather program. something that will tell me what's the weather in my city(no, i didn't stole your idea :), I've already did this thing using karamba&php almost a year ago and I've thought it would be nice to do it with php-gtk and use it on my windows machine) I've managed to put the image in the background. But now I have another problem. The images I add are not transparent. Here is what I've did so far: <?php dl('php_gtk.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX); $window = &new GtkWindow(GTK_WINDOW_DIALOG); $window->connect_object('destroy', array('gtk', 'main_quit')); $window->set_uposition(gdk::screen_width()/3.7, gdk::screen_height()/4); $window->realize(); list($pixmap, $mask) = gdk::pixmap_create_from_xpm($window->window, null, dirname(__FILE__).'/images/bg.xpm'); list($pixmap1, $mask1) = gdk::pixmap_create_from_xpm($window->window, null, dirname(__FILE__).'/images/10.xpm'); $tpixmap1 = &new GtkPixmap($pixmap1, $mask1); $tpixmap = &new GtkPixmap($pixmap, $mask); $window->unrealize(); $window->shape_combine_mask($mask, 0, 0); $vbox = &new GtkVBox(); $vbox->pack_start($tpixmap1); $vbox->pack_start(new GtkButton('test')); $vbox->add($tpixmap); $vbox->show_all(); $window->add($vbox); $window->show_all(); gtk::main_iteration(); gtk::main(); ?> I don't know if the trick with $vbox->pack_start() and then $vbox->add() is bug or a feature but it works(only if I do pack_start() first and then add()) on my linux machine(I'll test it on windows later). If you have any code on how to make the images transparent or maybe another way to achieve this I'll be very grateful. ps: sorry for my bad english Regards, Cosmin Budinschi On Fri, 2004-08-06 at 18:53, Joel De Gan wrote: > (sorry didn't click to send to the list as well as you) > > Hi, I wrote that tutorial. > > Yes it is. > Look over the functions and you will see the function that creates the > base XPM that I use to draw on. > You can replace that with a different image (i.e. a transparent image > with a border) and draw on that as you need.
