Subject: bug#15837: 24.3; invalid colour conversion from Gtk+3 to X11
Date: Fri, 08 Nov 2013 19:16:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mwle21zh.fsf%stlman@poczta.fm> (raw)
Hello,
The function[1] that reads foreground and background colours from Gtk+3
(GdkRGBA) and converts them to X11 ones (XColor) uses improper
intermediate representation. The Gtk coulour is formated as
rgbi:<red>/<green>/<blue>. Although values prefixed with rgbi: are meant
to be floating point values like the ones returned by
gtk_style_context_get_*() functions but unlike Gtk colours they are
meant to be linear intensity values and will be gamma corrected[2] using
the tables[3] in Xlib.
You can check the effect for yourself by running:
xterm -bg '#777'
xterm -bg 'rgb:7777/7777/7777'
xterm -bg 'rgb:0.46667/0.46667/0.46667'
The last one will be significantly lighter.
0.46667/0.46667/0.46667 is the value returned by Gtk when a colour is
set to #777.
A patch will follow this report.
