The following paragraphs describe the CLX functions to install and uninstall colormaps and to return the set of installed colormaps.
Initially, the default colormap for a screen is installed (but is not in the required list).
| install-colormap | colormap | Function |
Installs the colormap. All windows associated with this colormap immediately display with true colors. As a side-effect, additional colormaps might be implicitly uninstalled by the server. If the specified colormap is not already installed, a :colormap-notify event is generated on every window associated with this colormap. In addition, for every other colormap that is implicitly uninstalled, a :colormap-notify event is generated on every associated window. |
| installed-colormaps | window &key (:result-type 'list) | Function |
Returns a sequence containing the installed colormaps for the screen of the specified window. The order of the colormaps is not significant.
|
| uninstall-colormap | colormap | Function |
Uninstalls the colormap. However, the colormap is not actually uninstalled if this would reduce the set of installed colormaps below the value of screen-min-installed-maps. If the colormap is actually uninstalled, a :colormap-notify event is generated on every associated window. |
