RGtk2 (version 2.20.31)

gdkScreenGetRgbaColormap: gdkScreenGetRgbaColormap

Description

Gets a colormap to use for creating windows or pixmaps with an alpha channel. The windowing system on which GTK+ is running may not support this capability, in which case NULL will be returned. Even if a non-NULL value is returned, its possible that the window's alpha channel won't be honored when displaying the window on the screen: in particular, for X an appropriate windowing manager and compositing manager must be running to provide appropriate display.

Usage

gdkScreenGetRgbaColormap(object)

Arguments

Value

GdkColormap] a colormap to use for windows with an alpha channel or NULL if the capability is not available. [ transfer none ]
