Detailed Description
Encapsulation of CirculateRequest events.
When an application tries to circulate windows, we can have the X server redirect these requests to Minx to allow the window manager to handle them as it sees fit. These requests are delivered by minxlib to Minx's Python core via instances of this class.
- Note
- Since Minx is a tiling window manager and window circulation is mostly related to restacking windows, this event type is not very relevant to us.
Member Data Documentation
| const window minxlib::circulate_request::parent |
Parent of window requesting circulation.
Since window managers are usually only concerned with top-level windows, we check this field to determine how to handle the circulate request. If it is equal to the root window of some screen, the target window is a top-level window that may need to be handled in a special way. Non top-level windows will usually have their circulate requests honoured "as-is."
- Note
- As mentioned earlier, being a tiling window manager, window circulation and stacking are not things Minx cares about.
| const int minxlib::circulate_request::place |
Window stack placement (PlaceOnTop, PlaceOnBottom).
This field specifies whether the target window should be placed at the top or the bottom of the stack, which, for Minx (it being a tiling window manager and all), is pretty much useless.
