Methods

pidReadResourceUsage

pidReadResourceUsage Source #

Arguments

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

gdkDisplay: a <classname>GdkDisplay</classname>.

-> CULong

pid: a process ID.

-> ResourceUsage

usage: return location for the X resource usage of the application with process ID pid.

-> m () 

Looks for the X resource usage of the application with process ID pid on display gdisplay. If no resource usage can be found, then all fields of usage are set to 0.

In order to find the resource usage of an application that does not have an X window visible to libwnck (panel applets do not have any toplevel windows, for example), pidReadResourceUsage walks through the whole tree of X windows. Since this walk is expensive in CPU, a cache is created. This cache is updated in the background. This means there is a non-null probability that no resource usage will be found for an application, even if it is an X client. If this happens, calling pidReadResourceUsage again after a few seconds should work.

To properly work, this function requires the XRes extension on the X server.

Since: 2.6

setClientType

setClientType Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> ClientType

ewmhSourceindicationClientType: a role for the client.

-> m () 

Sets the role of the libwnck user.

The default role is ClientTypeApplication. Therefore, for applications providing some window management features, like pagers or tasklists, it is important to set the role to ClientTypePager for libwnck to properly work.

This function should only be called once per program. Additional calls with the same client type will be silently ignored. An attempt to change the client type to a differnet value after it has already been set will be ignored and a critical warning will be logged.

Since: 2.14

setDefaultIconSize

setDefaultIconSize Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Word64

size: the default size for windows and application standard icons.

-> m () 

The default main icon size is DEFAULT_ICON_SIZE. This function allows to change this value.

Since: 2.4.6

setDefaultMiniIconSize

setDefaultMiniIconSize Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Word64

size: the default size for windows and application mini icons.

-> m () 

The default main icon size is DEFAULT_MINI_ICON_SIZE. This function allows to change this value.

Since: 2.4.6

shutdown

shutdown :: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) => m () Source #

Makes libwnck stop listening to events and tear down all resources from libwnck. This should be done if you are not going to need the state change notifications for an extended period of time, to avoid wakeups with every key and focus event.

After this, all pointers to Wnck object you might still hold are invalid.

Due to the fact that <link linkend="getting-started.pitfalls.memory-management">Wnck objects are all owned by libwnck</link>, users of this API through introspection should be extremely careful: they must explicitly clear variables referencing objects before this call. Failure to do so might result in crashes.

Since: 3.4

xidReadResourceUsage

xidReadResourceUsage Source #

Arguments

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

gdkDisplay: a <classname>GdkDisplay</classname>.

-> CULong

xid: an X window ID.

-> ResourceUsage

usage: return location for the X resource usage of the application owning the X window ID xid.

-> m () 

Looks for the X resource usage of the application owning the X window ID xid on display gdisplay. If no resource usage can be found, then all fields of usage are set to 0.

To properly work, this function requires the XRes extension on the X server.

Since: 2.6
