I changed the alphademo example to draw a button instead of the red circle. This application draws the button on a 400×400 transparent window. When you click on the window the application shows/hides the title bar. #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <gdk/gdkscreen.h> #include <cairo.h> static void screen_changed(GtkWidget *widget, GdkScreen *old_screen, gpointer user_data); static gboolean expose(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventExpose … Read more
This suggestion will tell you which minor version of 2.0 is installed. Different major versions will have different package names because they can co-exist on the system (in order to support applications built with older versions). Even for development files, which normally would only let you have one version on the system, you can have … Read more
