This interface is implemented by servers that provide
desktop-style user interfaces.
It allows clients to associate a xdg_surface with
a basic surface.
The 'current' member of this enum gives the version of the
protocol. Implementations can compare this to the version
they implement using static_assert to ensure the protocol and
implementation versions match.
Negotiate the unstable version of the interface. This
mechanism is in place to ensure client and server agree on the
unstable versions of the protocol that they speak or exit
cleanly if they don't agree. This request will go away once
the xdg-shell protocol is stable.
Create a shell surface for an existing surface.
This request gives the surface the role of xdg_surface. If the
surface already has another role, it raises a protocol error.
Only one shell or popup surface can be associated with a given
surface.
Create a popup surface for an existing surface.
This request gives the surface the role of xdg_popup. If the
surface already has another role, it raises a protocol error.
Only one shell or popup surface can be associated with a given
surface.
The ping event asks the client if it's still alive. Pass the
serial specified in the event back to the compositor by sending
a "pong" request back with the specified serial.
Compositors can use this to determine if the client is still
alive. It's unspecified what will happen if the client doesn't
respond to the ping request, or in what timeframe. Clients should
try to respond in a reasonable amount of time.
A client must respond to a ping event with a pong request or
the client may be deemed unresponsive.
An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
implementations that provide a desktop-style user interface.
It provides requests to treat surfaces like windows, allowing to set
properties like maximized, fullscreen, minimized, and to move and resize
them, and associate metadata like title and app id.
On the server side the object is automatically destroyed when
the related wl_surface is destroyed. On client side,
xdg_surface.destroy() must be called before destroying
the wl_surface object.
The xdg_surface interface is removed from the wl_surface object
that was turned into a xdg_surface with
xdg_shell.get_xdg_surface request. The xdg_surface properties,
like maximized and fullscreen, are lost. The wl_surface loses
its role as a xdg_surface. The wl_surface is unmapped.
Child surfaces are stacked above their parents, and will be
unmapped if the parent is unmapped too. They should not appear
on task bars and alt+tab.
Set a short title for the surface.
This string may be used to identify the surface in a task bar,
window list, or other user interface elements provided by the
compositor.
The string must be encoded in UTF-8.
Set an id for the surface.
The app id identifies the general class of applications to which
the surface belongs.
It should be the ID that appears in the new desktop entry
specification, the interface name.
Clients implementing client-side decorations might want to show
a context menu when right-clicking on the decorations, giving the
user a menu that they can use to maximize or minimize the window.
This request asks the compositor to pop up such a window menu at
the given position, relative to the parent surface. There are
no guarantees as to what the window menu contains.
Your surface must have focus on the seat passed in to pop up the
window menu.
Start a pointer-driven move of the surface.
This request must be used in response to a button press event.
The server may ignore move requests depending on the state of
the surface (e.g. fullscreen or maximized).
These values are used to indicate which edge of a surface
is being dragged in a resize operation. The server may
use this information to adapt its behavior, e.g. choose
an appropriate cursor image.
Start a pointer-driven resizing of the surface.
This request must be used in response to a button press event.
The server may ignore resize requests depending on the state of
the surface (e.g. fullscreen or maximized).
The different state values used on the surface. This is designed for
state values like maximized, fullscreen. It is paired with the
configure event to ensure that both the client and the compositor
setting the state can be synchronized.
States set in this way are double-buffered. They will get applied on
the next commit.
Desktop environments may extend this enum by taking up a range of
values and documenting the range they chose in this description.
They are not required to document the values for the range that they
chose. Ideally, any good extensions from a desktop environment should
make its way into standardization into this enum.
The current reserved ranges are:
0x0000 - 0x0FFF: xdg-shell core values, documented below.
0x1000 - 0x1FFF: GNOME
The surface is maximized. The window geometry specified in the configure
event must be obeyed by the client.
The surface is fullscreen. The window geometry specified in the configure
event must be obeyed by the client.
The surface is being resized. The window geometry specified in the
configure event is a maximum; the client cannot resize beyond it.
Clients that have aspect ratio or cell sizing configuration can use
a smaller size, however.
Client window decorations should be painted as if the window is
active. Do not assume this means that the window actually has
keyboard or pointer focus.
The configure event asks the client to resize its surface.
The width and height arguments specify a hint to the window
about how its surface should be resized in window geometry
coordinates. The states listed in the event specify how the
width/height arguments should be interpreted.
A client should arrange a new surface, and then send a
ack_configure request with the serial sent in this configure
event before attaching a new surface.
If the client receives multiple configure events before it
can respond to one, it is free to discard all but the last
event it received.
When a configure event is received, a client should then ack it
using the ack_configure request to ensure that the compositor
knows the client has seen the event.
By this point, the state is confirmed, and the next attach should
contain the buffer drawn for the configure event you are acking.
The window geometry of a window is its "visible bounds" from the
user's perspective. Client-side decorations often have invisible
portions like drop-shadows which should be ignored for the
purposes of aligning, placing and constraining windows.
The default value is the full bounds of the surface, including any
subsurfaces. Once the window geometry of the surface is set once,
it is not possible to unset it, and it will remain the same until
set_window_geometry is called again, even if a new subsurface or
buffer is attached.
If responding to a configure event, the window geometry in here
must respect the sizing negotiations specified by the states in
the configure event.
Make the surface fullscreen.
You can specify an output that you would prefer to be fullscreen.
If this value is NULL, it's up to the compositor to choose which
display will be used to map this surface.
The close event is sent by the compositor when the user
wants the surface to be closed. This should be equivalent to
the user clicking the close button in client-side decorations,
if your application has any...
This is only a request that the user intends to close your
window. The client may choose to ignore this request, or show
a dialog to ask the user to save their data...
An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
implementations that provide a desktop-style popups/menus. A popup
surface is a transient surface with an added pointer grab.
An existing implicit grab will be changed to owner-events mode,
and the popup grab will continue after the implicit grab ends
(i.e. releasing the mouse button does not cause the popup to be
unmapped).
The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a mouse
button is pressed in any other clients window. A click in any of
the clients surfaces is reported as normal, however, clicks in
other clients surfaces will be discarded and trigger the callback.
The x and y arguments specify the locations of the upper left
corner of the surface relative to the upper left corner of the
parent surface, in surface local coordinates.
xdg_popup surfaces are always transient for another surface.
The xdg_surface interface is removed from the wl_surface object
that was turned into a xdg_surface with
xdg_shell.get_xdg_surface request. The xdg_surface properties,
like maximized and fullscreen, are lost. The wl_surface loses
its role as a xdg_surface. The wl_surface is unmapped.
The popup_done event is sent out when a popup grab is broken,
that is, when the users clicks a surface that doesn't belong
to the client owning the popup surface.
