[PATCH] Fix display box cursor under image with margins

[Evgeny Zajcev]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 180 bytes --]

Here is the patch to fix issue making cursor hollow under non-mask image,
but containing margins.  This patch keeps box cursor to be box in case
image has margins.

Thanks

Could you please give an example of such an image and what the results
look like, before and after the patch?  It's hard to understand the
details of this otherwise.

Thanks.

Here is first screenshot how hollow cursor looks on image with margin -
http://lgarc.narod.ru/pics/emacs-hollow-cursor.png

And here is how it looks with patch applied -
http://lgarc.narod.ru/pics/emacs-box-cursor.png

Without patch, look of the cursor won't change, it will remain being hollow

Thanks.  Frankly, I'm not sure the change is for the better.

Does anyone else have an opinion?

For me there is two problems with the hollow cursor under images:
1) You can't distinguish which window is active, since cursor is also
hollow in other window
2) Hollow cursor is barely visible on small screens with high ppi

I think the existing hollow cursor makes it more obvious that the cursor
is over an image; the latter doesn't really betray the fact that it's a
cursor, at least to my eyes.  That said, I wouldn't be opposed to new
cursor types.

Would it be possible to keep the two thin horizontal lines when the
window is active?

Did you mean "without margin" instead of "without patch"?

Yes, creating those outlines as for hollow cursor (but keeping box cursor)
would be the best solution.  However it is harder to implement, I'll look
into

I mean if patch is not applied, then cursor will look as on the first
screenshot

I'm not sure I understood the patch fully; it seems to be about displaying two lines instead of a box?  If so, I think I prefer the box (but generally speaking, respecting the cursor shape would be ideal (using a bar when the cursor is a bar, and replacing the background of the image when the cursor is a box)

I figured out, how to do this in "easy" way.  Here is patches update

And screenshots: http://lgarc.narod.ru/pics/emacs-box-margin1.png
http://lgarc.narod.ru/pics/emacs-box-margin2.png

This patch introduces new cursor type - COMBINED_BOX_CURSOR (used only
internally for box cursor under images with mask or margins)

I think your second set of screenshots looks better.

But the horizontal lines are not thin, right?

What happens when you switch the active window?  Will the cursor change
the size of that line, causing things to move vertically?  And what's
the result when you have many images in a buffer, as in image-dired?

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

On second screeshot, image has vertical margin as (10 . 4) specifies, that
is why horizontal lines are not thin

On first screenshot, there is only hmargin as (10 . 0) specifies

No moves, margins are part of the image size displayed in Emacs window.
Cursor just uses that margins to fulfill with cursor color

In both screenshots below window shows how it looks in inactive window.  It
looks unchanged from how they look in current Emacs without patch

I filmed short video how it looks in dynamic -

Thanks, but I didn't get the impression that this change is favored by
people here.  Maybe I'm mistaken, but in that case I'd ask more people
to voice their opinions.

FWIW, I watched that video and I _do_ like that behavior.

Thanks, that's helpful.

The suggested new behaviour looks good to me.

Seems like Evgeny's demo convinced more people that it's a nice feature
to have.

Right, Eli asked for opinions, and the ones given were positive to the
change AFAICT.

Should we therefore also install the patch?  I personally don't feel
qualified to review the code.
