Subject: [SDL] Window manager does not show SDL window titles
Hello,
I have an issue with SDL-using applications and the sawfish window manager.
The problem is that SDL windows do not show the window caption. My gnome
panel *does* show the window name, but the actual sawfish window frame
shows no caption at all. All other non-SDL applications that I use work
fine.
I tried a couple other window managers, and they *were* able to show the
SDL window captions correctly. Though there many be other WMs that can't.
I believe the problem is that SDL is using the UTF8_STRING type for the
window's WM_NAME and WM_ICON properties. In fact, WM_NAME and WM_ICON are
supposed to set to a TEXT type, usually STRING (ISO 8859-1).
The property names _NET_WM_NAME and _NET_WM_ICON_NAME should be used to
store the UTF8_STRING versions of the window title and icon name.
You can see the properties I refer to with a command like this:
xprop|grep -e "WM.*NAME"
Please note the freedesktop.org standard:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#id2506954
This page talks a little bit about the history of these properties. Just
search down the page for "WM_NAME".

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Eric Mangold

.TH "SDL_SetColors" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" .SH "NAME" SDL_SetColors\- Sets a portion of the colormap for the given 8-bit surface\&. .SH "SYNOPSIS" .PP \fB#include "SDL\&.h" .sp \fBint \fBSDL_SetColors\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface, SDL_Color *colors, int firstcolor, int ncolors\fR); .SH "DESCRIPTION" .PP Sets a portion of the colormap for the given 8-bit surface\&. .PP When \fBsurface\fR is the surface associated with the current display, the display colormap will be updated with the requested colors\&. If \fBSDL_HWPALETTE\fP was set in \fISDL_SetVideoMode\fR flags, \fBSDL_SetColors\fP will always return \fB1\fR, and the palette is guaranteed to be set the way you desire, even if the window colormap has to be warped or run under emulation\&. .PP The color components of a \fI\fBSDL_Color\fR\fR structure are 8-bits in size, giving you a total of 256^3 =16777216 colors\&. .PP Palettized (8-bit) screen surfaces with the \fBSDL_HWPALETTE\fP flag have two palettes, a logical palette that is used for mapping blits to/from the surface and a physical palette (that determines how the hardware will map the colors to the display)\&. \fBSDL_SetColors\fP modifies both palettes (if present), and is equivalent to calling \fISDL_SetPalette\fR with the \fBflags\fR set to \fB(SDL_LOGPAL | SDL_PHYSPAL)\fP\&. .SH "RETURN VALUE" .PP If \fBsurface\fR is not a palettized surface, this function does nothing, returning \fB0\fR\&. If all of the colors were set as passed to \fBSDL_SetColors\fP, it will return \fB1\fR\&. If not all the color entries were set exactly as given, it will return \fB0\fR, and you should look at the surface palette to determine the actual color palette\&. .SH "EXAMPLE" .PP .nf \f(CW/* Create a display surface with a grayscale palette */ SDL_Surface *screen; SDL_Color colors[256]; int i; \&. \&. \&. /* Fill colors with color information */ for(i=0;i<256;i++){ colors[i]\&.r=i; colors[i]\&.g=i; colors[i]\&.b=i; } /* Create display */ screen=SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 8, SDL_HWPALETTE); if(!screen){ printf("Couldn\&'t set video mode: %s ", SDL_GetError()); exit(-1); } /* Set palette */ SDL_SetColors(screen, colors, 0, 256); \&. \&. \&. \&.\fR .fi .PP .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fI\fBSDL_Color\fR\fR \fI\fBSDL_Surface\fR\fR, \fI\fBSDL_SetPalette\fP\fR, \fI\fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP\fR ...\" created by instant / docbook-to-man, Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01
