To retrieve such an estimate, the Client MUST send a +_NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS message to the root window. The Window +Manager MUST respond by estimating the prospective frame extents and +setting the window's _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS property accordingly. The +Client MUST handle the resulting _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS PropertyNotify +event. So that the Window Manager has a good basis for estimation, +the Client MUST set any window properties it intends to set +<i>before</i> sending this message.

Asking the window manager for an estimate of the extents +is a workable solution. The estimate may depend on the current theme, +font sizes or other window properties. The client can track changes +to the frame's dimensions by listening for _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS +PropertyNotify events. + </para> + </sect2> +</sect1> <sect1> <title>Application Window Properties</title> <sect2><title>_NET_WM_NAME</title> @@ -1355,6 +1384,16 @@ action or is a "pop-up" window activated by a timer or some other event. </para> </sect2> + <sect2><title>_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS</title> + <programlisting><![CDATA[ +_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS, left, right, top, bottom, CARDINAL[4]/32 +]]></programlisting> + <para> +The Window Manager MUST set _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS to the extents of the +window's frame. left, right, top and bottom are widths of the +respective borders added by the Window Manager. + </para> + </sect2> </sect1> <sect1> <title>Window Manager Protocols</title> @@ -1865,6 +1904,7 @@ OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE. <para>David Rosenthal</para> <para>Lubos Lunak</para> <para>Rob Adams</para> + <para>Thomas Fitzsimmons</para> </sect1> <sect1> <title>Change history</title> @@ -1872,6 +1912,10 @@ OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE. <title>Changes since 1.2</title> <itemizedlist> <listitem><para> +Added _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS and _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS to allow a +client to retrieve its window's frame extents. + </para></listitem> + <listitem><para> Added new state _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION. </para></listitem> <listitem><para> |
