Re: please....correct png support

I wonder though, this X-Render thing is supposed to be so cool, but does it act on changes behind the alpha blended image? Because Mosfet's transparent menus do not update when a window beneath it (xchat for example) changes.

Now this usually isn't an issue with websites, but I was just wondering, is this a limitation of the X-Render, or just lazy coding from Mosfet (or anyone who uses the X-Render code)?

I may be wrong, but I think that the X-Render extention it's not yet in place.

If I remember well, Mosfet make transparent menus by first saving in a buffer the image behind the menu and then showing it as the background of the menu; that is why it doesn't get updated when the real background does.

It is wrong. XFree has full support for XRender since 4.1 on almost all drivers.

Qt3 supports XRender. So from now on we can use XRender in KDE.
