Subject: [linux-graphics-dev] blackening of the screen area
Message-ID: <899714.62976.qm@web57613.mail.re1.yahoo.com>

Hi,
?
?? This is my first post to the list.
?? I use Fedora Core 11 and?what I want to do is, to be able to select a particular part of the screen by drawing a square on the screen using a mouse and?blaken?rest of the screen, keeping?the selected?part inside the square viewable.
?? I feel?such a?requirement because, whenever I read some text on a webpage or any application which is having a white background, the glare of the screen causes irritation to my eyes.
?? Hence I felt it would be good to be able to?select and see only few (5-7) lines of the text at a time and blaken rest of the screen area. Once reading those lines?is completed, again select next few lines by drawing a square around those lines using a mouse and?fill up?the screen area out of this square with a black colour.
?? If I reduce the screen brightness using buttons on the monitor, it creates problems when I look at application having black background e.g. xterm.
?
???Is there any means I can achieve this by using any of the graphics library?
?
Regards,
Girish
