GI.Gdk.Objects.Screen

Description

Screen objects are the GDK representation of the screen on which windows can be displayed and on which the pointer moves. X originally identified screens with physical screens, but nowadays it is more common to have a single Screen which combines several physical monitors (see screenGetNMonitors).

GdkScreen is used throughout GDK and GTK+ to specify which screen the top level windows are to be displayed on. it is also used to query the screen specification and default settings such as the default visual (screenGetSystemVisual), the dimensions of the physical monitors (screenGetMonitorGeometry), etc.

Methods

getActiveWindow

screenGetActiveWindow Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a) 
=> a

screen: a Screen

-> m (Maybe Window)

Returns: the currently active window, or Nothing.

Deprecated: (Since version 3.22)

Returns the screen’s currently active window.

On X11, this is done by inspecting the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property on the root window, as described in the Extended Window Manager Hints. If there is no currently currently active window, or the window manager does not support the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW hint, this function returns Nothing.

On other platforms, this function may return Nothing, depending on whether it is implementable on that platform.

The returned window should be unrefed using objectUnref when no longer needed.

Since: 2.10

screen: a Screen

-> Int32

monitorNum: the monitor number

-> m Rectangle 

Deprecated: (Since version 3.22)Use monitorGetGeometry instead

screenGetMonitorScaleFactor Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a) 
=> a

screen: screen to get scale factor for

-> Int32

monitorNum: number of the monitor, between 0 and gdk_screen_get_n_monitors (screen)

-> m Int32

Returns: the scale factor

Deprecated: (Since version 3.22)Use monitorGetScaleFactor instead

Returns the internal scale factor that maps from monitor coordinates to the actual device pixels. On traditional systems this is 1, but on very high density outputs this can be a higher value (often 2).

This can be used if you want to create pixel based data for a particular monitor, but most of the time you’re drawing to a window where it is better to use windowGetScaleFactor instead.

Since: 3.10

Retrieves the Rectangle representing the size and position of the “work area” on a monitor within the entire screen area. The returned geometry is in ”application pixels”, not in ”device pixels” (see screenGetMonitorScaleFactor).

The work area should be considered when positioning menus and similar popups, to avoid placing them below panels, docks or other desktop components.

Note that not all backends may have a concept of workarea. This function will return the monitor geometry if a workarea is not available, or does not apply.

Monitor numbers start at 0. To obtain the number of monitors of screen, use screenGetNMonitors.

Since: 3.4

getNMonitors

screenGetNMonitors Source #

Arguments

While normal application windows typically allow the window manager to place the windows, specialized desktop applications such as panels should place themselves on the primary monitor.

If no primary monitor is configured by the user, the return value will be 0, defaulting to the first monitor.

Since: 2.20

getResolution

screenGetResolution Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a) 
=> a

screen: a Screen

-> m Double

Returns: the current resolution, or -1 if no resolution has been set.

Since: 2.10

getRgbaVisual

screenGetRgbaVisual Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a) 
=> a

screen: a Screen

-> m (Maybe Visual)

Returns: a visual to use for windows with an alpha channel or Nothing if the capability is not available.

Gets a visual to use for creating windows with an alpha channel. The windowing system on which GTK+ is running may not support this capability, in which case Nothing will be returned. Even if a non-Nothing value is returned, its possible that the window’s alpha channel won’t be honored when displaying the window on the screen: in particular, for X an appropriate windowing manager and compositing manager must be running to provide appropriate display.

This functionality is not implemented in the Windows backend.

For setting an overall opacity for a top-level window, see windowSetOpacity.

Since: 2.8

getRootWindow

screenGetRootWindow Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a)

FIXME needs a list of valid settings here, or a link to more information.

Since: 2.2

getSystemVisual

screenGetSystemVisual Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a) 
=> a

screen: a Screen.

-> m Visual

Returns: the system visual

=> a

screen: The Screen where the toplevels are located.

-> m [Window]

Returns: list of toplevel windows, free with g_list_free()

Obtains a list of all toplevel windows known to GDK on the screen screen. A toplevel window is a child of the root window (see getDefaultRootWindow).

The returned list should be freed with g_list_free(), but its elements need not be freed.

Since: 2.2

getWidth

screenGetWidth Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a) 
=> a

screen: a Screen

-> m Int32

Returns: the width of screen in pixels.

=> a

screen: a Screen

-> m Int32

Returns: the width of screen in millimeters.

Deprecated: (Since version 3.22)Use per-monitor information instead

Gets the width of screen in millimeters.

Since: 2.2

getWindowStack

screenGetWindowStack Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a) 
=> a

screen: a Screen

-> m [Window]

Returns: a list of GdkWindows for the current window stack, or Nothing.

Returns a List of GdkWindows representing the current window stack.

On X11, this is done by inspecting the _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING property on the root window, as described in the Extended Window Manager Hints. If the window manager does not support the _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING hint, this function returns Nothing.

On other platforms, this function may return Nothing, depending on whether it is implementable on that platform.

The returned list is newly allocated and owns references to the windows it contains, so it should be freed using g_list_free() and its windows unrefed using objectUnref when no longer needed.

Since: 2.10

height

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> m Int32

Returns: the height of the default screen in pixels.

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScreen a) 
=> a

screen: the relevant Screen.

-> m [Visual]

Returns: a list of visuals; the list must be freed, but not its contents

Lists the available visuals for the specified screen. A visual describes a hardware image data format. For example, a visual might support 24-bit color, or 8-bit color, and might expect pixels to be in a certain format.

Call g_list_free() on the return value when you’re finished with it.

Since: 2.2

makeDisplayName

screenMakeDisplayName Source #

Arguments

=> a

screen: a Screen

-> Double

dpi: the resolution in “dots per inch”. (Physical inches aren’t actually involved; the terminology is conventional.)

-> m () 

Sets the resolution for font handling on the screen. This is a scale factor between points specified in a FontDescription and cairo units. The default value is 96, meaning that a 10 point font will be 13 units high. (10 * 96. / 72. = 13.3).

Since: 2.10

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> m Int32

Returns: the width of the default screen in pixels.

Deprecated: (Since version 3.22)Use per-monitor information

on screen #compositedChanged callback

monitorsChanged

type ScreenMonitorsChangedCallback = IO () Source #

The monitorsChanged signal is emitted when the number, size or position of the monitors attached to the screen change.

Only for X11 and OS X for now. A future implementation for Win32 may be a possibility.
