X512 47102c0742 Interface Kit: introduce B_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND flag
BeOS didn't support transparent views. As documented in the Be Book,
SetViewColor(B_TRANSPARENT_COLOR) only effect is to not fill the
invalidated areas with the view color before calling Draw() (it avoids
flickering, especially when combined with B_FULL_UPDATE_ON_RESIZE).

A previous change made B_TRANSPARENT_COLOR actually make the view
transparent (that is, additionally to the above, the underlying view is
drawn before the transparent children), but it creates compatibility
issues.

In order to keep the API compatible with BeOS, the new behavior is now
enabled explicitly using the B_TRANSPARENT_VIEW flag. This also opens
for future developments like allowing a view color with an alpha
channel (not supported yet).

Adjust programs that require transparent views.

Fixes #15744, #15745.
Helps with #15645.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku
