I am running into an issue on most variants of the GNU Emacs package in that the alpha-background frame parameter, a feature of emacs 29.1 as described here: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TransparentEmacs does nothing, rather than changing the frame transparency as intended. The (similar) 'alpha' frame-parameter described in the same source above does work. This issue exists with the 'emacs', 'emacs-next', and related packages for Xorg. Interestingly, the 'emacs-pgtk' package does work as intended, even when used on Xorg. The feature also works correctly when emacs without pure-gtk support is installed through alternative package managers. My best guess is that a required compile flag is missing for the feature to work. I am not yet experienced enough with guix to see if I can create a package declaration that does not have this issue. Thank you if you decide to look into it! bd From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Tue Jul 09 00:31:40 2024 Received: (at 71627) by debbugs.gnu.org; 9 Jul 2024 04:31:40 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:51878 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1sR2Vu-0005l1-5A for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Tue, 09 Jul 2024 00:31:40 -0400 Received: from forward400b.mail.yandex.net ([178.154.239.159]:47452) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1sQrG0-0001ET-QA for 71627@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 08 Jul 2024 12:30:31 -0400 Received: from mail-nwsmtp-mxback-production-main-78.iva.yp-c.yandex.net (mail-nwsmtp-mxback-production-main-78.iva.yp-c.yandex.net [IPv6:2a02:6b8:c0c:7e99:0:640:de99:0]) by forward400b.mail.yandex.net (Yandex) with ESMTPS id 944EC74638 for <71627@debbugs.gnu.org>; Mon, 8 Jul 2024 19:30:19 +0300 (MSK) Received: from mail.yandex.com (2a02:6b8:c0c:da9:0:640:8459:0 [2a02:6b8:c0c:da9:0:640:8459:0]) by mail-nwsmtp-mxback-production-main-78.iva.yp-c.yandex.net (mxback/Yandex) with HTTPS id EUfEZK0MveA0-eR4BV7OV; Mon, 08 Jul 2024 19:30:19 +0300 X-Yandex-Fwd: 1 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=wujun.li; s=mail; t=1720456219; bh=8njmpcYzFQTN9CEZZTGlmwsS+kGDEb7jh686hG+QXLE=; h=Message-Id:Date:Subject:To:From; b=bMrqHXeO6gy5KPkRd1vU4ZV+SHx7Gy5vlKhiq8RfOXL/NsPfnsGY5W7ADabWEdgz5 PTHRV60zwQsZK3nS/p1tKuWoPaquVNDt6aNiRzcZTWCB0tgMDaXun7RkMsg3emBSIv 4tXZGCixFz6jjWL1pZH2YrirOkM5TPjgodOTXEH8= Authentication-Results: mail-nwsmtp-mxback-production-main-78.iva.yp-c.yandex.net; dkim=pass header.i=@wujun.li Received: by mwl5vp6yrifoy4jb.iva.yp-c.yandex.net with HTTP; Mon, 08 Jul 2024 19:30:18 +0300 From: Wujun Li To: "71627@debbugs.gnu.org" <71627@debbugs.gnu.org> Subject: Guix-packaged emacs does not work with alpha-background frame parameter MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Yamail [ http://yandex.ru ] 5.0 Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2024 00:30:18 +0800 Message-Id: <32921720453575@mail.yandex.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 X-Spam-Score: 0.7 (/) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 71627 X-Mailman-Approved-At: Tue, 09 Jul 2024 00:31:36 -0400 X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -0.3 (/) PGRpdj48ZGl2PkhlbGxvPC9kaXY+PGRpdj7CoDwvZGl2PjxkaXY+SSBhbHNvIGVuY291bnRlcmVk IHRoaXMgcmVjZW50bHkuPC9kaXY+PGRpdj7CoDwvZGl2PjxkaXY+QWZ0ZXIgY2hlY2tpbmcgc291 cmNlIGNvZGUgb2YgZW1hY3MgYW5kIGd1aXgsIEkgdGhpbmsgdGhpcyBpcyBiZWNhdXNlIGVtYWNz IGlzIGJ1aWx0IHdpdGhvdXQgZGVwZW5kZW5jeTogbGlieHJlbmRlci48L2Rpdj48ZGl2PlNvIEkg Y3VzdG9taXplZCB0aGUgcmVsZXZhbnQgcGFja2FnZXMgZm9yIHRlc3QsIGFzIGZvbGxvd3M6PC9k aXY+PGRpdj7CoDwvZGl2PjxkaXY+YGBgPC9kaXY+PGRpdj48ZGl2PihkZWZpbmUtcHVibGljIGVt YWNzLTRtZTwvZGl2PjxkaXY+wqAgKHBhY2thZ2U8L2Rpdj48ZGl2PsKgwqDCoCAoaW5oZXJpdCBl bWFjcyk8L2Rpdj48ZGl2PsKgwqDCoCAobmFtZSAiZW1hY3MtNG1lIik8L2Rpdj48ZGl2PsKgwqDC oCAoaW5wdXRzIChtb2RpZnktaW5wdXRzIChwYWNrYWdlLWlucHV0cyBlbWFjcyk8L2Rpdj48ZGl2 PsKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgIChwcmVwZW5kPC9kaXY+PGRpdj7CoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgIGxpYnhyZW5kZXI8L2Rpdj48ZGl2PsKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqAgbGlieHQpKSkpKTwvZGl2PjxkaXY+wqA8L2Rpdj48ZGl2PihkZWZpbmUtcHVi bGljIGVtYWNzLWV4d20tNG1lPC9kaXY+PGRpdj7CoCAocGFja2FnZTwvZGl2PjxkaXY+wqDCoMKg IChpbmhlcml0IGVtYWNzLWV4d20pPC9kaXY+PGRpdj7CoMKgwqAgKG5hbWUgImVtYWNzLWV4d20t NG1lIik8L2Rpdj48ZGl2PsKgwqDCoCAoYXJndW1lbnRzPC9kaXY+PGRpdj7CoMKgwqDCoCAoc3Vi c3RpdHV0ZS1rZXl3b3JkLWFyZ3VtZW50cyAocGFja2FnZS1hcmd1bWVudHMgZW1hY3MtZXh3bSk8 L2Rpdj48ZGl2PsKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoCAoKCM6ZW1hY3MgXykgZW1hY3MtNG1lKSkpKSk8L2Rpdj48 L2Rpdj48ZGl2PmBgYDwvZGl2PjxkaXY+PGRpdj7CoDwvZGl2PjxkaXY+PGRpdj5CYWNrZ3JvdW5k IHRyYW5zcGFyZW5jeSB3b3JrcyBmb3IgbWUgbm93LjwvZGl2PjxkaXY+wqA8L2Rpdj48ZGl2Pjxk aXY+SSBob3BlIHRoaXMgaGVscHMuPC9kaXY+PC9kaXY+PC9kaXY+PC9kaXY+PC9kaXY+
