Protocols related to window management

Modules

activationstaging

The way for a client to pass focus to another toplevel is as follows.

decorationunstable

This interface allows a compositor to announce support for server-side decorations. A window decoration is a set of window controls as deemed appropriate by the party managing them, such as user interface components used to move, resize and change a window’s state. A client can use this protocol to request being decorated by a supporting compositor. If compositor and client do not negotiate the use of a server-side decoration using this protocol, clients continue to self-decorate as they see fit.

dialogstaging

The xdg_wm_dialog_v1 interface is exposed as a global object allowing to register surfaces with a xdg_toplevel role as “dialogs” relative to another toplevel.

foreignunstable

Protocol for exporting xdg surface handles

shell

XDG Shell protocol

system_bellstaging

This global interface enables clients to ring the system bell.

toplevel_dragstaging

This protocol enhances normal drag and drop with the ability to move a window at the same time. This allows having detachable parts of a window that when dragged out of it become a new window and can be dragged over an existing window to be reattached.

toplevel_iconstaging

This protocol allows clients to set icons for their toplevel surfaces either via the XDG icon stock (using an icon name), or from pixel data.

xdg_outputunstable

Protocol to describe output regions
