Programming :: Printf() In C Being Able To Specify Foreground / Background Colors?
Nov 21, 2010I got curious during the construction of my program to search for blocks of text that contain certain words, and wanted to print out blocks of text with the words I was searching for, initially, in ALL CAPS and seperated by tabs for easy identification. That got boring, though, so I thought, "Can printf do colors, too?" Yes it can.... Who knew?

Software :: Can't Set Xterm Background/foreground Colors Properly Using Slackware?
Aug 19, 2009I've read about this. Everyone says to use ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults, and it doesn't work for me. It doesn't do anything at all, in fact. I'm trying to use this:
Code:
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: white
In the ~/.X* files, it won't work. I read that another way of doing it is using
Code:
xrdb -merge .x_settings_file
This will work for me. It's the only thing I can get to work. But when I restart, it will have to be done again. I'm using Slackware 12.2.

Ubuntu :: Stop Inactive Windows From Loosing Their Opacity?
Jun 6, 2011turn off the feature that causes the inactivate windows to loose their opacity. I use two monitors and have a number of applications running on each monitor. All the windows on the monitors have important information that I use. However, all the windows that are not active loose opacity and it's very hard to read their content unless I constantly click on the windows. One of my next upgrades for this year includes adding a Video card that has support for more than two monitors so that I have easily have even more windows in view. With the opacity lost it's going to be very hard t work in the environment.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with the default Unity desktop. By the way, I'm sure if I boot into Ubuntu Classic or Unity 2D the problem would go away. However, I'm trying to use the default Unity desktop, as much of my reading appears to indicate some of the alternate boot options might be eventually be removed as an option. Also, I would like to experience the Unity as suggested by the developers. So hopefully this is a feature of the Unity 3D that has a user adjustment control.

Ubuntu :: Window In Foreground Is White?
May 13, 2011Sometimes when I have two or more windows open, the window in the foreground will be white, or blank. This most notably happens when I have Firefox and LibreOffice open in the same desktop. The window in the background is clearly visible, and when I right click on the window in the foreground, a normal context menu comes up. This also sometimes happens when there is only one window on a desktop.
I have played on and off with ubuntu over the years, and am currently using 11.04 on an older HP with an Athlon 64 chip. You may consider my background knowledge of the system to be one step above nil. I'm happy to provide any system info you may want, but you'll likely have to tell me how to obtain it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Video Window Sticks To Foreground While Playing
Jun 14, 2011Whenever I'm playing a video and bring another application to the foreground, the video window appears over the foreground application:
I'm running Natty Narwhal 64-bit. This didn't happen back in Maverick. The hardware is an Asus K42JR laptop. If there's any more detailed information that I can provide to help narrow this problem down, please let me know.
I've found a similar issue on the forums, but it seems a bit different. This guy also has foreground window problems, but in his case they occur with non-video applications and are not consistent (it only happens 10% of the time).
With me, it always occurs with only video playback. The choice of video application for playback does not appear to matter (I've tried Totem, VLC). Strangely, the problem doesn't occur when viewing flash videos from within Chrome.
Fedora :: Fedora 12 Dual Monitor Background Splits

The rest of the dual monitor setup works fine.

Mar 24, 2010I originally have Ubuntu Lucid on my machine. I just installed opensuse 11.2 on another partition without bootloader installed.

I can boot up opensuse correctly. the nagging thing is that there's no splash screen show up during the boot process, instead, lines of command are flashing, the console background is also missing and the font under console (tty1-6) is huge. what can I do to have these back to opensuse? the current entry in grub2 for opensuse
Code:
menuentry "openSUSE 11.2 (i586) (on /dev/sda2)" {
