RGBA support in update-manager

[Jon]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I have created a patch which enabled transparent themeing of the update-manager dialog, please see the screen shot at

http://idnzor.net/tmp/rgba_update-manager.png

This makes use of the new transparency capabilities of the Murrine GTK+ theme engine, you can read more about these changes here:

http://www.cimitan.com/blog/2007/12/12/gtk-rgba-transparent-widgets-with-the-murrine-engine

The patch for this can be found here:

http://idnzor.net/tmp/rgba_update-manager.patch

This is all 100% degradable - so users without a composite window manager will see no difference, it is also super fast still! You will need the latest version of Murrine which can be found at

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cimi/murrine/trunk

Or to check out the code and compile the latest version use:

bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cimi/murrine/trunk

Look forward to your feedback

Closing the bug in Murrine as it is not actually effected. Confirming for update manager, please set importance to wishlist.

Could you attach the patch to the bug report? It's not accessible anymore and thus this wish can never be fulfilled, which would be a shame.

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

Closing as wontfix -- gtk+2 stuff is obsolete these days and the patch sadly dissapeared from the net.
