It was only needed by a UTF8 conversion call in hiptext. Thanks to
another hack where I patch hiptext to just use the actual
Upper Half block character pasted into the file, then glibc
support isn't needed.
Provides almost double the resolution by using the unicode upper
block character, "▀", and setting its colour as with the fg colour
and the missing space below it with the bg colour. Clever stuff.
Using mirrors in Dockerfile because default ones were down at
time of writing.
Refactor all build commands into 1 RUN command to try and reduce
the number of cached build layers and thus reduce the size of
the finished image.
The big problem with XFCE's zoom was that it follwed the mouse. So there was no way
to have the terminal representation of the desktop map to a smaller segment of the
real desktop without the terminal mouse position being able to exactly 'hover' over
the real mouse position.
The xzoom program is a window that displays a zoom of a portion of the desktop. So
double the width of the desktop and place the xzoom window on the right, but have
it watch only the half of the desktop on the left. What's more xzoom is small and
it's C code is easily incuded in the Golang code so they act as one, even sharing
state such as mouse coords, viewport position, current zoom level, etc.
WIP. Still contains old XFCE zoom code.
