Who does not know about the fun or trouble to get a name right?
Right now I am searching a name for a library. Tomas Carnecky started the xcolor library two years ago inside the OpenICC project. Now its time to get that code distributed as the compiz colour server will rely on it. At the same time we want people to write similar stuff for other compositing managers. libXcolor, working title, attaches colour regions to windows and associates ICC colour profiles with them. The fun is its pretty independent. Only libX11 is linked in and Xfixes should be recommended. Of course there is more needed than just telling about regions. But this little code allows us to communicate between applications and a colour server. So its the glue of information for flexibly colour correcting the desktop.
XCMS would be a good match. But that effort is almost historic and does not fit well to modern ICC style colour management. XColor is already in use by Xorg. AgryllCMS has a libxicc and I don’t want to touch that either. libXcm seems free for X Color Management. Would be well on topic.
Btw. Pascal looked into building a Debian package. As part of that I exchanged the configuration and build system and now the whole project blow up in size. The package is much larger then the real code inside.
