screens in this case would be "GtkWindow"s ?


[Binoj]:That right.. 


> on this all my screens should come.

sounds like you need a toplevel window in the 
background all the time. and the screens that
"come" are popup windows.

[Binoj]: Yes, but I am searching for something else other than creating
a static window all the time. Like in Directfb we can use a
configuration file "~/.directfbrc" where we can configure the value
bg-image="image-file" etc this will take care everything. I am searching
for something similar. 
        Or if possible through a theme.. I don't know.. 

 


so you need to make a window of w/h of your
resolution and always keep it displayed in
the background. (adding colour and pictures
can be defined in the gtkrc file).

I haven't used gtk in the framebuffer but
I assume the api is the same on the higher
levels at least; is that not the case ?

[Binoj]: yes
