<P>
The menubar system in Eterm is probably the most complex, convoluted,
complicated, and poorly-implemented feature of Eterm. The code, though
modified somewhat, is still almost entirely derived from rxvt. It will be
rewritten from scratch as part of
<A HREF="http://ganja.tky.hut.fi/Resurrection/">Project Resurrection</A>, but
for now, here are the basics. You'll probably want to look at the menubar
files that come with Eterm; they're pretty good samples.</P>
<P>
First, let's discuss the paradigm used by the menubar system. Like so many
things these days, the menubar uses a filesystem analogy, with the menubar
itself comprising the top level (root) and each menu and submenu is a
"directory" or "subdirectory" thereof. You manipulate the contents of the
menubar by adding and removing menus, menu items, and submenus via their
respective "paths." You even have a "working directory" and can add/remove
several items at a time by changing to the directory you want.</P>
<P>
The following table shows the commands which are recognized by the menubar
system. These commands can be supplied as <I>string</I> in the menubar escape
sequence, or they can be lines in a menubar file.</P>

menubar. <TT><B>/</B><I>some_menu</I><B>/</B><I>submenu</I><B>/</B></TT>
represents a submenu underneath that menu. And so on.... You can also
use "." and ".." just like you would on a UNIX filesystem.
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><TT><B>-</B><I>path</I></TT></TD>
<TD>Removes the menu at <I>path</I>. All submenus and menu items are
automatically removed.
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><TT>[ <B>+</B> ] [ <I>path</I> ] <B>{</B> <I>menuitem</I> <B>}</B> [
<B>{</B> <I>rtext</I> <B>}</B> ] [ <B>{</B> <I>action</I> <B>}</B> ] </TT>
</TD>
<TD>Add a menu item at <I>path</I>. The label (<I>menuitem</I>) is required
but can be hidden by using a dot ('<TT><B>.</B></TT>') as the first
character of <I>menuitem</I>, or by using the same text for <I>rtext</I>.
The optional string <I>rtext</I> will be right-justified; this is
generally used to note the key sequence bound to a particular menu item.
If <I>action</I> is not specified, the contents of <I>rtext</I> are
used.</P>
<P>
<I>action</I> is the string which is bound to the menuitem. It is parsed
for escape sequences, control characters, etc. See the table below for a
list of valid encodings. If <I>action</I> begins with a NUL character
(<TT><B>^@</B></TT>), the string is sent to Eterm instead of to the
application. (To send a string beginning with a NUL to the application,
simply prefix the string with two NUL's. The first one will be stripped
and the remainder send to the application.) So any escape sequences you
want Eterm to parse should begin with <TT><B>^@</B></TT>.</P>
<P>
As mentioned in the table below, <TT><B>M-</B></TT> can be used as a
substitute for <TT>ESC</TT> in an action string, with one difference:
a carriage return (<TT><B>\r</B></TT>) is appending automatically to
any string that begins with <TT><B>M-</B></TT> and does not already have
the trailing <TT>CR</TT>.</P>
<P>
To add a separator bar, specify <TT><B>-</B></TT> as <I>menuitem</I>.</P>

<TD><TT><B>[dump]</B></TT></TD>
<TD>Dumps the current menubars out to a file. The path of this file is placed
in the Eterm titlebar. The menubars are dumped so that the resulting file
is a valid Eterm menubar file which can be parsed by Eterm in the future
to restore the current menubar settings.

<TD>Begin addition/modification of the <I>name</I> menubar. If <I>name</I> is
not given, "<TT><B>default</B></TT>" is used. This command sets the
menubar to read-write.</TD>

</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><TT><B>[read:</B> <I>file</I> <B>]</B></TT></TD>
<TD>Reads the menubar file <I>file</I> and parses the commands it contains. A
menubar file consists of commands shown in this table. Lines beginning
with '<TT><B>#</B></TT>' and blank lines are ignored.
</TD>

The table below contains a listing of all the Eterm-specific escape sequences

note the following conventions used in this table:</P>
<P>
When an escape sequence is said to "set/toggle" an option, this means that the
boolean parameter of the sequence is optional. If given, it will either set or
unset the option. If omitted, the current state of that option will be
reversed (i.e., turned off if on, or on if off). Acceptable values for "true"
are: <TT><B>1</B></TT>, <TT><B>on</B></TT>, <TT><B>yes</B></TT>, or (of course)
<TT><B>true</B></TT>. Likewise, acceptable values for "false" are:

<H3><A NAME="trans">Transparency</A></H3>
<P>
The standard for implementing transparency was a mutual effort between myself,
Carsten Haitzler <raster@redhat.com>, Gerald Britton <gbritton@mit.edu>, and
Nat Friedman <nat@nat.org>, based off of an original idea by Nat. First I'll
define the standard, then I'll discuss its justification.</P>
<P>
There are two separate procedures for setting the transparency property (the
_XROOTPMAP_ID atom in X). The first is for persistent X clients such as window
managers. These clients should proceed through their normal mechanism for
setting the desktop image. Once the finalized pixmap has been created, the
_XROOTPMAP_ID property should be set on the desktop window (the same window
which will receive the pixmap...note that this is not necessarily the root
window), and its value should be set to the Pixmap ID. The following sample
code (taken from <A HREF="http://www.enlightenment.org/"
TARGET="_top">Enlightenment</A>) demonstrates this:</P>
<PRE>
<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* disp is the Display, win is the desktop Window, pmap is the pixmap */</FONT>
static Atom prop = 0;
if (!prop) {
prop = XInternAtom(disp, "_XROOTPMAP_ID", False);
}
XChangeProperty(disp, win, prop, XA_PIXMAP, 32, PropModeReplace,
(unsigned char *)&pmap, 1);
XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap(disp, win, pmap);
XClearWindow(disp, win);
</PRE>
<P>
The second procedure is for temporary clients; i.e., clients who set the desktop
pixmap and then exit. An example of this type of client would be Esetroot, the
transparency utility provided with Eterm. These clients should set the
_XROOTPMAP_ID property just like the persistent client does. They should also
set a companion property as well, ESETROOT_PMAP_ID. Both are set to the same
pixmap ID. When a temporary client runs, it checks to see if _XROOTPMAP_ID and
ESETROOT_PMAP_ID have the same value. If so, the client knows that it can
safely do an XKillClient() on the pixmap ID. This will save memory, as the
old pixmap can be removed. If they are not equal, however, calling
XKillClient() would kill the persistent client which did set it, most likely the
user's window manager. This would be a Bad Idea<SUP>tm</SUP>. The following
code fragment (taken from Esetroot) illustrates this process:</P>
<PRE>
<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* disp is the Display, win is the desktop Window, pmap is the pixmap */</FONT>
Atom prop_root, prop_esetroot, type;
int format;
unsigned long length, after;
unsigned char *data_root, *data_esetroot;
<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* First check to see if the properties already exist, and if they are equal */</FONT>
prop_root = XInternAtom(disp, "_XROOTPMAP_ID", True);
prop_esetroot = XInternAtom(disp, "ESETROOT_PMAP_ID", True);
if (prop_root != None && prop_esetroot != None) {
XGetWindowProperty(disp, win, prop_root, 0L, 1L, False, AnyPropertyType,
&type, &format, &length, &after, &data_root);
if (type == XA_PIXMAP) {
XGetWindowProperty(disp, win, prop_esetroot, 0L, 1L, False, AnyPropertyType,
&type, &format, &length, &after, &data_esetroot);
if (data_root && data_esetroot && type == XA_PIXMAP && *((Pixmap *) data_root) == *((Pixmap *) data_esetroot)) {
<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* It's safe. Kill the pixmap. */</FONT>
XKillClient(disp, *((Pixmap *) data_root));
}
}
}
<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* This will locate the property, creating it if it doesn't exist */</FONT>
prop_root = XInternAtom(disp, "_XROOTPMAP_ID", False);
prop_esetroot = XInternAtom(disp, "ESETROOT_PMAP_ID", False);
<FONT COLOR="#3333ff">/* The call above should have created it. If that failed, we can't continue. */</FONT>
if (prop_root == None || prop_esetroot == None) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error: Creation of pixmap property failed.\n");
exit(1);
}
XChangeProperty(disp, win, prop_root, XA_PIXMAP, 32, PropModeReplace,
(unsigned char *) &pmap, 1);
XChangeProperty(disp, win, prop_esetroot, XA_PIXMAP, 32, PropModeReplace,
(unsigned char *) &pmap, 1);
XSetCloseDownMode(disp, RetainPermanent);
</PRE>
<P>
When the client runs, it looks for the _XROOTPMAP_ID property on the desktop
window. (The client searches through all its parent windows until it either
finds one with this property set, or hits the root window without finding it.)
If the client finds this property, it can then use the pixmap directly, or make
a copy of the pixmap in order to perform additional operations on it (such as
brightening, shading, tinting, etc.).</P>
<P>
So why use this technique? Why require such support from the window manager and
other external applications? Why not simply set the background to
<TT>ParentRelative</TT> and be done with it? let X handle everything? This
seems to be a point of great confusion lately. Those who have taken the time to
put the other terminal emulators who have chosen the latter route through their
paces already know the answer: Power. Very simply, you have *much* greater
power and flexibility with this technique than any other. X only permits a
limited amount of flexibility when copying the background directly (basically
just bitwise logical operations). The above technique allows programs to tint,
shade, brighten, or otherwise manipulate the image in *any* way they see fit.
Want a 10% shade? A 30% shade? Maybe a light cyan tint? Or perhaps you prefer
a midnight blue tint.... With this technique, you can have it *your* way, not
their way.</P>
