Thanks for all your help!<br>
<br>I actually do not have a toolchain set up (though in the coming months I<br>
plan to set one up).<br>
If you wouldn't mind updating the SHR-U feed to the latest unstable, I would<br>
be more than happy to test it out for you =).<br>I think transparent keyboards in illume is certainly something that we have needed for a long time....<br><br>(PS. I kept trying to send this email directly to you, but your mailer-daemon keeps rejecting because "it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6)".)<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>

I have just figured out that the illume package (e-wm) is missing in the<br>
FSO-milestone 5 feeds (no idea why, sorry, it was a long time ago I<br>
played with that), but it is available in the other feeds. So, you can<br>
try to download and install the ipk directly from:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://meru.inf.ethz.ch/%7Eriso/shr-unstable/ipk/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.050+svnr39659-r4_armv4t.ipk" target="_blank">http://meru.inf.ethz.ch/~riso/shr-unstable/ipk/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.050+svnr39659-r4_armv4t.ipk</a><br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
<a href="http://meru.inf.ethz.ch/%7Eriso/shr/ipk/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.050+svnr38274-r4_armv4t.ipk" target="_blank">http://meru.inf.ethz.ch/~riso/shr/ipk/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.050+svnr38274-r4_armv4t.ipk</a><br>
<br>
However, these packages are really old, and I would be surprised if they<br>
worked smoothly with recent SHR unstable. The best way would be to<br>
recompile shr with the patch. If you can not to that yourself, let me<br>
know and I'll update the binary feeds on my webpage to recent SHR-U (but<br>
I'll probably not have time to test it on my FR...)<br>
