- * Name - virtual.h
- *
- * ccs version: 1.3
- *
- * ccsid: @(#)virtual.h 1.3 - 07/06/92 10:52:59
- * from: ccs/s.virtual.h
- * date: 06/28/93 09:14:49
- *
- *--- original header:
- *
- * vroot.h -- Virtual Root Window handling header file
- *
- * This header file redefines the X11 macros RootWindow and DefaultRootWindow,
- * making them look for a virtual root window as provided by certain `virtual'
- * window managers like swm and tvtwm. If none is found, the ordinary root
- * window is returned, thus retaining backward compatibility with standard
- * window managers.
- * The function implementing the virtual root lookup remembers the result of
- * its last invocation to avoid overhead in the case of repeated calls
- * on the same display and screen arguments.
- * The lookup code itself is taken from Tom LaStrange's ssetroot program.
- *
- * Most simple root window changing X programs can be converted to using
- * virtual roots by just including
- *
- * #include "vroot.h"
- *
- * after all the X11 header files. It has been tested on such popular
- * X clients as xphoon, xfroot, xloadimage, and xaqua.
