X11 Tests

For whatever reason, I've used a lot of X11 over the years. Here are some little things I've done that I remember fondly. Admittedly, some of them don't 'show' as well in screenshots as the others, but they are all pretty neat. Years ago, I wrote a plugin for xmms (mp3 player) using x11. It did its job as simple eye candy. x11-meter.png Here is a demo of a program loading an image and turning it into a box. This is all done with only x11. No image libraries were used other than things written only by me. x11-box.png Here is an early screenshot of my canvas library. It enables programmers to create GUIs without using GTK, QT, or any of those. It's not very robust, but it can handle buttons, images, text display and basic drawing routines. (This is very outdated now.) x11-canvas.png
