This extension can be used by regular application to instruct to compositor
to activate or switch to other running (regular) applications. The client
is responsbile for filtering their own app_id when receiving application id.
The compositor will allow clients to bind to this interface only if the
policy engine allows it.
The compositor may choose to advertise one or more application ids which
can be used to activate/switch to.
When this global is bound, the compositor will send all application ids
available for activation, but may send additional application id at any
time (when they've been mapped in the compositor).
Ask the compositor to make a toplevel to become the current/focused
window for window management purposes.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
Ask the compositor to make a top-level window obey the 'app_role' enum
and, depending on that role, to use some of the arguments as initial
values to take into account.
Note that x, y, bx, by, width and height would only make sense for the
pop-up role, with the output argument being applicable to all the roles.
The width and height values define the maximum area which the
top-level window should be placed into. Note this doesn't correspond to
top-level surface size, but to a bounding box which will be used to
clip the surface to, in case the surface area extends that of this
bounding box. Both of these values need to be larger than 0 (zero) to be
taken into account by the compositor. Any negative values for the width
and height will be discarded.
The x and y values will serve as the (initial) position values.
The bx and by values are the top-left x and y value of the bounding box.
Any clipping happening to the bounding box will not affect the surface
size or the position of the underlying surface backing the top-level
window. The bx and by values, like the positional values, could be
both set to zero, or even negative values. The compositor will pass
those on without any further validation.
The initial position values and the bounding rectangle will still be
in effect on a subsequent activation request of the 'app_id', assuming
it was previously de-activated at some point in time.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
Ask the compositor to hide the toplevel window for window
management purposes. Depending on the window role, this request
will either display the previously active window (or the background
in case there's no previously activate surface) or temporarly (or
until a 'activate_app' is called upon) hide the surface. All
the surfaces are identifiable by using the app_id, and no actions are
taken in case the app_id is not/was not present.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
Notifies application(s) when other application have suffered state modifications.
Use this request to inform the compositor to maintain a pending state
for an app_id being set with set_app_property() request. Any
subsequent application matching that app_id would survive a potential
application destruction. Note that this request will take effect
globally on all applications.
To turn it on, or off, use the 'permanent' argument. Initially,
the compositor will have this option set to off. Note that it
doesn't matter the order of this request with respect to
set_app_property() request, as the changes will only take effect
when the application itself does the commit with an app_id set,
therefore the only requirement is to call this request before
the app_id client does its first commit.
