27 * vroot.h -- Virtual Root Window handling header file
29 * This header file redefines the X11 macros RootWindow and DefaultRootWindow,
30 * making them look for a virtual root window as provided by certain `virtual'
31 * window managers like swm and tvtwm. If none is found, the ordinary root
32 * window is returned, thus retaining backward compatibility with standard
34 * The function implementing the virtual root lookup remembers the result of
35 * its last invocation to avoid overhead in the case of repeated calls
36 * on the same display and screen arguments.
37 * The lookup code itself is taken from Tom LaStrange's ssetroot program.
39 * Most simple root window changing X programs can be converted to using
40 * virtual roots by just including
42 * #include <X11/vroot.h>
44 * after all the X11 header files. It has been tested on such popular
45 * X clients as xphoon, xfroot, xloadimage, and xaqua.
46 * It also works with the core clients xprop, xwininfo, xwd, and editres
47 * (and is necessary to get those clients working under tvtwm).
48 * It does NOT work with xsetroot; get the xsetroot replacement included in
49 * the tvtwm distribution instead.
51 * Andreas Stolcke <stolcke@ICSI.Berkeley.EDU>, 9/7/90
52 * - replaced all NULL's with properly cast 0's, 5/6/91
53 * - free children list (suggested by Mark Martin <mmm@cetia.fr>), 5/16/91
54 * - include X11/Xlib.h and support RootWindowOfScreen, too 9/17/91
