xlib

I'm making a program where I need to lock the position of a window on the screen, one would think the easy way to do this is using _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS but apparently didn't work or I don't know how it work xD... I tried to send an event, something like this: def getatom (atom): return self.display.intern_atom(atom) data = [getatom("_NET_WM_ACTION_ABOVE"),getatom("_NET_WM_ACTION_CLOSE"), getatom("_NET_WM_ACTION_BELOW"),getatom("_NET_WM_ACTION_CHANGE_DESKTOP"), getatom("_NET_WM_ACTION_SHADE")] state = getatom("_NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS") event = Xlib.protocol.event.ClientMessage(window =

I am migrating some code of CYBOI from Xlib to XCB. CYBOI uses a couple of threads for different communication channels like: serial_port, terminal, socket, x_window_system. However, it uses these threads only for signal/event/data detection; the actual receiving and sending is done in the main thread, in order to avoid any multi-threading conflicts of address space. For the x_window_system channel, I previously detected events in a thread: int n = XEventsQueued(display, QueuedAfterReading); Upon detection of an event, an "interrupt flag" was set. Afterwards, the main thread was reading the

How can I create a modal dialog in X11 using Xlib? A modal dialog is a a window that stays on top of other windows of the app (like transient windows do) and also refuses to give focus to other windows of the app. In Windows, modality is also signaled by flashing the titlebar of the modal window when trying to steal the focus from it. Thanks. You need to set _NET_WM_STATE property (which is of type "atom list") to include _NET_WM_STATE, see references to _NET_WM_STATE in EWMP spec (also need to set WM_TRANSIENT_FOR correctly) 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31779316/x11-modal-dialog

I'd like to create a window with transparent background and then render something onto it using OpenGL. I don't want to use the trick where whatever is behind the window is captured and then painted as a background - I want real transparency (I have composition manager running). I'm not using any GUI library (GTK, QT, ...), just raw xlib and glx. Anyone knows how to do it? Take a look at these patches to Neverball and SDL . They seem to be based on NVidia's driver documentation . I haven't tried it, but it looks as if you just select the correct GLX config ( GLX_RGBA_BIT ), clear your window

I've been trying to animate in a C program using Xlib and I wanna do something when an event occurs, otherwise I wanna keep animating. Here's an example code snippet of what I am doing currently: while( 1 ) { // If an event occurs, stop and do whatever is needed. // If no event occurs, skip this if statement. if ( XEventsQueued( display, QueuedAlready ) > 0 ) { XNextEvent( display, &event ) switch ( event.type ) { // Don't do anything case Expose: while ( event.xexpose.count != 0 ) break; // Do something, when a button is pressed case ButtonPress: ... break; // Do something, when a key is
