[Openicc] net-color spec

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Tomas,

there seems to remain three tasks for the net-color spec.


The _NET_COLOR_REGIONS atom is not yet described. I would like to add that 
a existing XColorRegion without profile must not be colour managed.


An other atom, I would like to see included, is for server side colour 
correction status checking like in my experimental compiz plug-in[1].

  _NET_COLOR_DESKTOP:
Is attached to to colour managed root window. It is a marker 
containing the current getpid() of a service providing colour conversions 
of the desktop except the region described in the _NET_COLOR_REGIONS. This 
way a second desktop colour management service can be detected and 
identified. A warning can be issued accordingly. The atom must be deleted 
after finishing the desktop colour management service.

As well the Xcolor library should be packaged and your net-color spec[3] 
be placed on say freedesktop.org. Best would be next to the _ICC_PROFILE 
proposal as they are functionally closely related.
How can I get write access to the Xcolor project :-)


best regards
