Class

MetaWindow

Description [src]

abstract class Meta.Window : GObject.Object
  implements Gio.Initable {
  /* No available fields */
}

A display-agnostic abstraction for a window.

MetaWindow is the core abstraction in Mutter of a window. It has the properties you’d expect, such as a title, whether it’s fullscreen, has decorations, etc.

Since a lot of different kinds of windows exist, each window also a MetaWindowType which denotes which kind of window we’re exactly dealing with. For example, one expects slightly different behaviour from a dialog than a “normal” window. The type of a window can be queried with meta_window_get_window_type().

Common API for windows include:

Each MetaWindow is part of either one or all MetaWorkspaces of the desktop. You can activate a window on a certain workspace using meta_window_activate_with_workspace(), and query on which workspace it is located using meta_window_located_on_workspace(). The workspace it is part of can be obtained using meta_window_get_workspace().

Each display protocol should make a subclass to be compatible with that protocols’ specifics, for example MetaWindowX11 and MetaWindowWayland. This is independent of the protocol that the client uses, which is modeled using the MetaWindowClientType enum.

To integrate within the Clutter scene graph, which deals with the actual rendering, each MetaWindow will be part of a MetaWindowActor.

If window is transient, call func with the window for which it’s transient, repeatedly until either we find a non-transient window, or func returns FALSE.
