Drawing on a X11 window with a depth of 32

[codic12]

For some reason, if I create a X11 window with a color bit depth of 32 and only 32, I am not able to draw anything on it, but I am able to set it’s background color and have that show up.

Any ideas?

What app are you using to create it?

Some drivers will misbehave with 32-bit colour depth:

@https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#10-bit_color

Newer AMD cards support 10bpc color, but the default is 24-bit color and 30-bit color must be explicitly enabled.
…
Various software may have graphical artifacts or crash with 10-bpc color.

The question is for the frame windows in my window manager.

I’m using integrated graphics, and other WMs are able to draw titlebars just fine, so it is probably something extra you have to do.

The code I use to create the window is here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69608310/drawing-on-windows-with-32-bit-color-depth

Ah, OK. Which WM?

Worm - a floating, tag based window manager

I’ve spent quite a while of my spare time writing a X11 window manager over the past couple weeks, as a fun side project. It is: reparenting (draws titlebars) floating (a tiling layout is also planned) IPC based has tags (right now they only function like workspaces, but it’s very trivial to add IPC commands for more complicated use-cases) written in pure Rust (later rewritten in Nim) Check it out!

Out of my depth here. I can do Fluxbox no probs & I’m just getting to grips with i3wm but another one? Best of luck, creativity should always be encouraged!
