Hello,

I am writing my first test application using disko.

My first goal: Configure the window background color.
Problem: I get nothing else but a permanent black screen.

Here is my main.cpp code:

#include <mms.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
mmsInit(MMSINIT_WINDOWMANAGER, argc, argv,&quot;./diskorc.xml&quot;
MMSRootWindow *window = new MMSRootWindow(&quot;myMainWindow&quot;,&quot;100%&quot;,&quot;100%&quot;
MMSFBColor color1(1,1,1,1);
window-&gt;setBgColor(color1);
window-&gt;show();
sleep(3);
delete window;
return 0;
}


Can anyone let me know what am I doing wrong?

I would also like to leave the shell output, in case it is some configuration issue:

I really appreciate any sort of help.

Thanks in advance!

I figured it out.

Hi André,

welcome to our forums. Hope you can achive your goals with Disko with our help.

Can you tell us what you did to make this work for you?

My guess is a different color than 1,1,1,1 because it is almost black and almost completely transparent. Which should make almost no difference on most monitors

kind regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Yes, you are right. I missunderstood the value range for the RGB and alpha components.

Thanks,
André
