 Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 12:18 pm Post subject: Eterm background messed up with latest version. |
 |
|
Hey there,
I am not sure whether anyone has already experienced this but I think my eterm got updated recently (or perhaps it was another package, I will have to look it up) and it messed up the transparency background.
I am using transparency over a white/blue background and the transparent mask I get under my Eterm window is a bright - ugly - blue.
I have tried the following command:
"Eterm --trans --shade 50 --tint black" which only resulted in the following:
| Quote: | Eterm: Warning: Unable to resolve "black" as a color name. Falling back on "white".
Eterm: Warning: Unable to resolve "white" as a color name. This should never fail. Please repair/restore your RGB database.
|
And the same visual result.
Note that I tried to use --mask 0xFFFFFF instead of black and I got the same error and the same result.
Any idea please? I am totally clueless as to what the RGB database is. |

well i did a little research quickly and found the RGB database. it's path is listed in your xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/CID/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
EndSection |
Mine seems to be in the right place and rgb.txt in that file looks ok to me...not that i would know though. I'm not sure it's that though. I tried the command you said...Eterm --trans --shade 50 --tint black and it doesn't give me the same error. it gives me this instead
| Code: | | Eterm: Error: Unable to locate file "/usr/share/Eterm/pix/tile/014.jpg" in image path. |
And it does tint black but it also tints that crazy blue. So i'm not sure what's going on there. |

| I have tried upgrading xorg, ati-drivers and whatever else I could think of. Nothing new yet. I guess I will try messing around with Eterm and see if the same problem occurs with previous versions. I'll keep you updated. |

hi,
I could fix this:
After emerge you can see, where the rgb path has changed to, this is my new:
| Code: |
RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
|
After restart of X-Windows the problem was fixed for me
