<H3><A NAME="eterm_esc">Eterm Proprietary Escape Sequences</A></H3>

<P>
The table below contains a listing of all the Eterm-specific escape sequences
that Eterm supports.  These sequences were created by the Eterm authors.  Please
note the following conventions used in this table:</P>

<P>
When an escape sequence is said to "set/toggle" an option, this means that the
boolean parameter of the sequence is optional.  If given, it will either set or
unset the option.  If omitted, the current state of that option will be
reversed (i.e., turned off if on, or on if off).  Acceptable values for "true"
are:  <TT><B>1</B></TT>, <TT><B>on</B></TT>, <TT><B>yes</B></TT>, or (of course)
<TT><B>true</B></TT>.  Likewise, acceptable values for "false" are:
<TT><B>0</B></TT>, <TT><B>off</B></TT>, <TT><B>no</B></TT>, or
<TT><B>false</B></TT>.</P>

  <TD>Titlebar Status.  This places Eterm's current status in the titlebar.  The
      status information includes the application name and version number, as
      well as the shading/tinting state if transparent, the path to the
      background image if there is one, or "No Pixmap" if neither of these is
      true.

<TR>
  <TD><TT>ESC <B>] 5 ;</B> BEL</TT></TD>
  <TD>Steal Focus.  Eterm will raise itself to the top and steal keyboard/mouse
      focus.  This is useful in case your window manager dies or has trouble
      starting up.  By default, this is activated by holding the Ctrl key and
      clicking on the Eterm window with the left mouse button (Button1).
  </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
  <TD><TT>ESC <B>] 6 ; 0 </B> [ <B>;</B> <I>boolean</I> ] BEL</TT></TD>

  <TD>Adjusts a color modifier.  <I>class</I> determines which image
      class will have its color modifier altered:  <B>bg</B>
      (background, the default), <B>up</B> (up arrow), <B>down</B>
      (down arrow), <B>sb</B> (scrollbar trough), <B>sa</B> (scrollbar
      anchor), <B>st</B> (scrollbar thumb), <B>menu</B> (popup menu
      background), <B>menuitem</B> (popup menu items), <B>submenu</B>
      (menu items which represent submenus), <B>button</B> (buttons on
      the buttonbar), or <B>bbar</B> (buttonbar).  Next comes the
      <I>color</I> which determines how pixels are modified.  This is
      either <B>image</B>, <B>red</B>, <B>green</B>, or <B>blue</B>.
      <I>attribute</I> is one of <B>brightness</B>, <B>contrast</B>,
      or <B>gamma</B>, and <I>value</I> is the actual integer value
      (>= 0).  As stated in the man page, 256 (0x100) is 100%.</TD>

  <TD>Shade/tint the specified <I>class</I> (see above).  For shading,
      <I>value</I> is the shade percentage.  For tinting, it is the

      If specified, <I>type</I> must be one of <TT><B>motif</B></TT>,
      <TT><B>xterm</B></TT>, or <TT><B>next</B></TT>.  If you omit the
      <I>type</I> parameter and only wish to set the width, take care not to
      omit the extra semicolon.  <I>width</I> is an integer.  Its value is
      fairly wide-open, but should be something reasonable.

<H3><A NAME="trans">Transparency</A></H3>

<P>
The standard for implementing transparency was a mutual effort between
myself, Carsten Haitzler &lt;raster@rasterman.com&gt;, Gerald Britton
&lt;gbritton@mit.edu&gt;, and Nat Friedman &lt;nat@nat.org&gt;, based
off of an original idea by Nat.  First I'll define the standard, then
I'll discuss its justification.</P>

<P>
There are two separate procedures for setting the transparency
property (the _XROOTPMAP_ID atom in X).  The first is for persistent X
clients such as window managers.  These clients should proceed through
their normal mechanism for setting the desktop image.  Once the
finalized pixmap has been created, the _XROOTPMAP_ID property should
be set on the desktop window (the same window which will receive the
pixmap...note that this is not necessarily the root window), and its
value should be set to the Pixmap ID.  The following sample code
(taken from <A HREF="http://www.enlightenment.org/"
TARGET="_top">Enlightenment</A>) demonstrates this:</P>

<PRE>
<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* disp is the Display, win is the desktop Window, pmap is the pixmap */</FONT>
static Atom prop = 0;

if (!prop) {
  prop = XInternAtom(disp, "_XROOTPMAP_ID", False);
}
XChangeProperty(disp, win, prop, XA_PIXMAP, 32, PropModeReplace,
                (unsigned char *)&pmap, 1);
XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap(disp, win, pmap);
XClearWindow(disp, win);
</PRE>

<P>
The second procedure is for temporary clients; i.e., clients who set the desktop
pixmap and then exit.  An example of this type of client would be Esetroot, the
transparency utility provided with Eterm.  These clients should set the
_XROOTPMAP_ID property just like the persistent client does.  They should also
set a companion property as well, ESETROOT_PMAP_ID.  Both are set to the same
pixmap ID.  When a temporary client runs, it checks to see if _XROOTPMAP_ID and
ESETROOT_PMAP_ID have the same value.  If so, the client knows that it can
safely do an XKillClient() on the pixmap ID.  This will save memory, as the
old pixmap can be removed.  If they are not equal, however, calling
XKillClient() would kill the persistent client which did set it, most likely the
user's window manager.  This would be a Bad Idea<SUP>tm</SUP>.  The following
code fragment (taken from Esetroot) illustrates this process:</P>

<PRE>
<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* disp is the Display, win is the desktop Window, pmap is the pixmap */</FONT>
Atom prop_root, prop_esetroot, type;
int format;
unsigned long length, after;
unsigned char *data_root, *data_esetroot;

<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* First check to see if the properties already exist, and if they are equal */</FONT>
prop_root = XInternAtom(disp, "_XROOTPMAP_ID", True);
prop_esetroot = XInternAtom(disp, "ESETROOT_PMAP_ID", True);

if (prop_root != None && prop_esetroot != None) {
  XGetWindowProperty(disp, win, prop_root, 0L, 1L, False, AnyPropertyType,
                     &type, &format, &length, &after, &data_root);
  if (type == XA_PIXMAP) {
    XGetWindowProperty(disp, win, prop_esetroot, 0L, 1L, False, AnyPropertyType,
                       &type, &format, &length, &after, &data_esetroot);
    if (data_root && data_esetroot && type == XA_PIXMAP && *((Pixmap *) data_root) == *((Pixmap *) data_esetroot)) {
      <FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* It's safe.  Kill the pixmap. */</FONT>
      XKillClient(disp, *((Pixmap *) data_root));
    }
  }
}

<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* This will locate the property, creating it if it doesn't exist */</FONT>
prop_root = XInternAtom(disp, "_XROOTPMAP_ID", False);
prop_esetroot = XInternAtom(disp, "ESETROOT_PMAP_ID", False);

<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* The call above should have created it.  If that failed, we can't continue. */</FONT>
if (prop_root == None || prop_esetroot == None) {
  fprintf(stderr, "Error:  Creation of pixmap property failed.\n");
  exit(1);
}
XChangeProperty(disp, win, prop_root, XA_PIXMAP, 32, PropModeReplace,
                (unsigned char *) &pmap, 1);
XChangeProperty(disp, win, prop_esetroot, XA_PIXMAP, 32, PropModeReplace,
                (unsigned char *) &pmap, 1);
XSetCloseDownMode(disp, RetainPermanent);
</PRE>

<P>
When the client runs, it looks for the _XROOTPMAP_ID property on the desktop
window.  (The client searches through all its parent windows until it either
finds one with this property set, or hits the root window without finding it.)
If the client finds this property, it can then use the pixmap directly, or make
a copy of the pixmap in order to perform additional operations on it (such as
brightening, shading, tinting, etc.).</P>

<P>
So why use this technique?  Why require such support from the window manager and
other external applications?  Why not simply set the background to
<TT>ParentRelative</TT> and be done with it? let X handle everything?  This
seems to be a point of great confusion lately.  Those who have taken the time to
put the other terminal emulators who have chosen the latter route through their
paces already know the answer:  Power.  Very simply, you have *much* greater
power and flexibility with this technique than any other.  X only permits a
limited amount of flexibility when copying the background directly (basically
just bitwise logical operations).  The above technique allows programs to tint,
shade, brighten, or otherwise manipulate the image in *any* way they see fit.
Want a 10% shade?  A 30% shade?  Maybe a light cyan tint?  Or perhaps you prefer
a midnight blue tint....  With this technique, you can have it *your* way, not
their way.</P>
