Hello All, Status for the last 2 weeks:* Rather busy with finishing university projects... (now completed, I.e. I'm now 100% free).
* Dug into the LOKit renaming.
* Some time spent digging around basebmp colours / alpha channel:
** Previously it seemed like the alpha channel was not set at all -- had to
manually overwrite it in the client app.
** Tried to hardcode alpha channel value in the basebmp colour conversion
classes/templates -- but doesn't quite work as expected. (See attached
screenshots.) Still figuring this out.
(Basebmp doesn't really seem to have any understanding of the alpha
channel at all, so I'm
not really sure why hardcoding it should cause this sort of
artifact, especially as leaving the channel
empty works fine.)** We don't need the alpha channel for gtk (it can understand RGB or RGBA), and since basebmp doesn't really support it properly, maybe worth just sticking to RGB (without the A)? Then again, we can easily support various formats, so probably still
worth fixing the RGBA in case it is needed. -- Andrzej
