Display.isRgba

bool isRgba()

Returns whether surfaces on this display are created with an alpha channel.

Even if a true is returned, it is possible that the surface’s alpha channel won’t be honored when displaying the surface on the screen: in particular, for X an appropriate windowing manager and compositing manager must be running to provide appropriate display. Use [gdk.display.Display.isComposited] to check if that is the case.

On modern displays, this value is always true.

Returns

true if surfaces are created with an alpha channel or

false if the display does not support this functionality.
