[Feature Request]Background image #14

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Is it possible for fbterm to use an image as background. Then, I will dump
fbcondecor in my customized kernel.

In my opinion, time should be spent on important thing. Background image is a 
nice, 
but NOT key function, many source should be added to implement this feature 
including various image format support. I won't add backgroud image in FbTerm 
directly.

There is a alternative way. We already have some image viewer for linux frame 
buffer 
device, e.g. fbi, fbv, etc. And we may first use these programs to put image to 
fbdev, then FbTerm captures the image from fbdev, use it as the background. 
Maybe 
image viewers should be made a little change to not clear the fbdev after 
displaying 
image.

There is no urgency about add such a feature. I am quite satisfied with current
fbterm especially the support of CJK input. If you can do what you just 
suggested, it
will be more than good enough.
I always try to build fbcondecor in my kernel which is a bad habit from my 
gentoo
years. Is it possible for fbterm to capture the background created by 
fbcondecor. I
guess it should work. Also, fbcondecor never clear the fbdev.
My ultimate hope is that fbterm can be merged into the kernel. :) No CJK 
support on
Linux console is intolerant.

I didn't try fbcondecor, but I think it's ok. Background image support won't be 
a 
feature of version 1.5, maybe it will in 1.6 or 1.7.

Merging FbTerm into kernel? Even as its author, I don't like it. If we can do 
it 
very well in user process space, why move it into kernel?

It's more easier to implement than I thought. This feature has been added in 
version 1.5.
