4 * i3 - an improved dynamic tiling window manager
5 * © 2009 Michael Stapelberg and contributors (see also: LICENSE)
7 * ewmh.c: Get/set certain EWMH properties easily.
13 * Updates _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP with the current desktop number.
15 * EWMH: The index of the current desktop. This is always an integer between 0
16 * and _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS - 1.
19 void ewmh_update_current_desktop(void);
22 * Updates _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS which we interpret as the number of
23 * noninternal workspaces.
25 void ewmh_update_number_of_desktops(void);
28 * Updates _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES: "The names of all virtual desktops. This is a
29 * list of NULL-terminated strings in UTF-8 encoding"
31 void ewmh_update_desktop_names(void);
34 * Updates _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT, which is an array of pairs of cardinals that
35 * define the top left corner of each desktop's viewport.
37 void ewmh_update_desktop_viewport(void);
40 * Updates _NET_WM_DESKTOP for all windows.
41 * A request will only be made if the cached value differs from the calculated value.
44 void ewmh_update_wm_desktop(void);
47 * Updates _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW with the currently focused window.
49 * EWMH: The window ID of the currently active window or None if no window has
53 void ewmh_update_active_window(xcb_window_t window);
56 * Updates _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME.
59 void ewmh_update_visible_name(xcb_window_t window, const char *name);
62 * Updates the _NET_CLIENT_LIST hint. Used for window listers.
64 void ewmh_update_client_list(xcb_window_t *list, int num_windows);
67 * Updates the _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING hint. Necessary to move tabs in
70 * EWMH: These arrays contain all X Windows managed by the Window Manager.
71 * _NET_CLIENT_LIST has initial mapping order, starting with the oldest window.
72 * _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING has bottom-to-top stacking order. These properties
73 * SHOULD be set and updated by the Window Manager.
76 void ewmh_update_client_list_stacking(xcb_window_t *stack, int num_windows);
79 * Set or remove _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY on the window.
82 void ewmh_update_sticky(xcb_window_t window, bool sticky);
85 * Set up the EWMH hints on the root window.
88 void ewmh_setup_hints(void);
91 * i3 currently does not support _NET_WORKAREA, because it does not correspond
92 * to i3’s concept of workspaces. See also:

97 * We need to actively delete this property because some display managers (e.g.
100 * EWMH: Contains a geometry for each desktop. These geometries specify an area
101 * that is completely contained within the viewport. Work area SHOULD be used by
102 * desktop applications to place desktop icons appropriately.
105 void ewmh_update_workarea(void);
108 * Returns the workspace container as enumerated by the EWMH desktop model.
109 * Returns NULL if no workspace could be found for the index.
111 * This is the reverse of ewmh_get_workspace_index.
114 Con *ewmh_get_workspace_by_index(uint32_t idx);
117 * Returns the EWMH desktop index for the workspace the given container is on.
118 * Returns NET_WM_DESKTOP_NONE if the desktop index cannot be determined.
120 * This is the reverse of ewmh_get_workspace_by_index.
