Greeting, I have this question since several years ago. Since the hottest feature of XRender is "real" tranparency, that means the tranparent object can reflect the activity of the covered program. I tried to google the information of KDE and XRender as much as I could, but none of the web sites answer my question. Even Trolltech.com itself announces their Qt has build-in XRender support. However, when I enabled the menu with "XRender Blending" via kcontrol, and tested a little bit, I found that the transparent menu has no different with grapping the image. I know it's an old question but I would like to ask again. Does XRender support true transparency or KDE actually never use the feature of XRender at all? I heard that the next version of XFree86 (e.g. 4.4) add some features from AppleWM and Darwin. Does that mean we will see some effect like Aqua under MacOSX? O_O Sincerelly Tim Tsai
