The + compositor will ignore requests if there are already two windows + present. The client can verify this request succeed by checking the + xdg-shell configure event and with it, the states sent + by the compositor. + + If there's no app_id with the supplied name, the compositor will add the app + to a pending list in order to be applied when an application gets + started, or if the application sets its application after the initial + wl_surface.commit request. + Applications can use this approach if they want to be started in a + tiled orientation position, before creating the xdg-shell toplevel role. + + + A none orientation type would make the window go back to the original + maximized mode. If two windows are side by side, returning one of them + back the original mode would mean the other one will be made hidden + and the one doing the request for the none orientation will become + the currently active window. A further activation, using activate_app + request for the other window would make that one active. + + Closing the window in the tiled orientation state implies that either + the background surface will displayed, or in case there was another + applications being shown at that time, will make that application be + returned to the original, maximized state. + + The tiled orientation could be applied independently of each other, + such that a client can transition from one tiled orientation to + another. Note that any other window already present would literally + take the opposite orientation with the one currently being changed. So + tiled orientation modification automatically implies a tile orientation + for any other application already present/active at that time. + + In case there's already a client active at that time, it will be + attributed automatically the opposite tiled orientation, such that two + concurrent applications can be displayed at the same time. + + The orientation tiles can not be combined, and only state at a time + can be active. Only horizontal and vertical tiling is possible. A + horizontal and vertical tile orientation simultaneously is not + possible. + + Input focus is being delivered to the last started/activated window, + such that users can cycle between that one or the other, assumes there's + another window in the first place. + + See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a + description of app_id. + + + + + + -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
