Pixmap and transparency color

[Bart Van den Bosch <boschke ulyssis org>]

Hello,

Just wondering:
I am trying to get an image of which I have a GIF on a gtk1.2 interface
(a logo) . I have already succeeded of making it into a ppm, then
converting it to a xpm, and showing it in the window, but so far
I am not having any success into getting the transparency right.
As far as I know the transparency color should be red. (HEX: FF0000)


and this is what I have been doing:
<BEGIN CODE>
gdk_color_parse("FF0000", color);
if(gdk_colormap_alloc_color(gdk_colormap_get_system(),
                            color,FALSE,FALSE)) {
	//Have tried FALSE,TRUE in last line but to no avail.
	cout << "RED not found" << endl;
};
gdk_pixmap_vtk=gdk_pixmap_colormap_create_from_xpm_d(
		NULL,gdk_colormap_get_system(),
		NULL,color,image_name);
pixmap_vtk = gtk_pixmap_new(gdk_pixmap_vtk, NULL);
<END CODE>

I get the "Red not found" on console, and the image displays just
fine, except the image shows red were it should be transparent.

Thanks for your help!
