Dear list, The transparency patch will not be integrated into the emacs main code in the present form, because the patch enhances proprietary platforms only: Mac OSX and Windows, and thus it does not fit the philosophy of the GNU project. However, six months ago, a developer sent me an "X-ready" version of the transparency patch and he also showed me that the transparent emacs was working on his environment. The patch is available at http://macemacsjp.sourceforge.jp/package/ test/transparency2.patch . When we finish the code, we can propose it again to the emacs main developers because it will benefit free platforms, too. However, at present nobody has succeeded to build a transparent emacs on X, except for the original author. We believe that it requires too up-to- date environment -- reportedly it requires X11R6.8 or newer with some extension. In order to collect more clues, does anyone try or examine the above patch? Does anyone has a very recent X window environment that supports transparency feature? Any reports are welcome regarding the patch. Of course, improved code is highly welcome.
