Hi, I've got a bit of a strange requirement. What I need: a text% with corresponding editor canvas centered on the screen filled with a background color or image. Various tools and "overlays" might show up on the background around the editor.
Method 1: Make a frame% fullscreen and put vertical and horizontal panels around the editor canvas. This works but has a few disadvantages (imagine, e.g., that the background should be a continuous image). Method 2: Make two frames, one fullscreen for the background and one for the editor canvas, where the latter has style '(float no-caption). The result is very much like I want it (especially since the menu is in the right place), but unfortunately the text% instance never gets the keyboard focus. Is there a "hack" to force keyboard focus to the editor embedded in a floating frame? (If it's not set to float the Gnome panel on Linux will show up even if the background window is right behind it.) Or, should I rather stick with the first method? Or, is there a way to paint the background of a frame% directly or overlay other controls over a canvas? Any solution needs to work on all platforms. Best, Erich _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
