MetaWindow

Determines if the window should be drawn with a focused appearance. This is true for focused windows but also true for windows with a focused modal dialog attached.

Converts a desired bounds of the client window into the corresponding bounds of the window frame (excluding invisible borders and client side shadows.)

Follow the chain of parents of window, skipping transient windows, and return the “root” window which has no non-transient parent.

If window is transient, call func with the window for which it’s transient, repeatedly until either we find a non-transient window, or func returns FALSE.

Call func for every window which is either transient for window, or is a transient of a window which is in turn transient for window. The order of window enumeration is not defined.

Converts a desired frame bounds for a window into the bounds of the client window.

Gets the rectangle that the pixmap or buffer of window occupies.

Returns name of the client machine from which this windows was created, if known (obtained from the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property).

Returns the MetaWindowClientType of the window.

Gets the compositor’s wrapper object for window.

Gets a region representing the outer bounds of the window’s frame.

Gets the rectangle that bounds window that is what the user thinks of as the edge of the window. This doesn’t include any extra reactive area that we or the client adds to the window, or any area that the client adds to draw a client-side shadow.

Gets the type of window decorations that should be used for this window.

Gets the location of the icon corresponding to the window. The location will be provided set by the task bar or other user interface element displaying the icon, and is relative to the root window.

Returns the window id associated with window.

Gets the current maximization state of the window, as combination of the META_MAXIMIZE_HORIZONTAL and META_MAXIMIZE_VERTICAL flags;

Gets index of the monitor that this window is on.

Gets the current value of the _MUTTER_HINTS property.

Returns the pid of the process that created this window, if available to the windowing system.

Gets an unique id for a sandboxed app (currently flatpaks and snaps are supported).

The stable sequence number is a monotonicially increasing unique integer assigned to each MetaWindow upon creation.

Gets the startup id of the given MetaWindow.

Returns the matching tiled window on the same monitor as window. This is the topmost tiled window in a complementary tile mode that is:

Returns the MetaWindow for the window that is pointed to by the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint on this window (see XGetTransientForHint() or XSetTransientForHint()). Mutter keeps transient windows above their parents. A typical usage of this hint is for a dialog that wants to stay above its associated window.

The user time represents a timestamp for the last time the user interacted with this window. Note this property is only available for non-override-redirect windows.

Return the current value of the name part of WM_CLASS X property.

Return the current value of the instance part of WM_CLASS X property.

Get the work area for all monitors for window.

Get the work area for the monitor window is currently on.

Get the work area for window, given the monitor index which_monitor.

Gets the MetaWorkspace that the window is currently displayed on. If the window is on all workspaces, returns the currently active workspace.

Tests if window has any transients attached to it. (If the “attach_modal_dialogs” option is not enabled, this will always return FALSE.)

The function determines whether window is an ancestor of transient; it does so by traversing the transient‘s ancestors until it either locates window or reaches an ancestor that is not transient.

Tests if window should be attached to its parent window. (If the “attach_modal_dialogs” option is not enabled, this will always return FALSE.)

Check if if the window has decorations drawn by the client. (window->decorated refers only to whether we should add decorations)

Gets whether this window should be ignored by task lists.

Moves the window to the desired location on window’s assigned workspace, using the northwest edge of the frame as the reference, instead of the actual window’s origin, but only if a frame is present. Otherwise, acts identically to meta_window_move().

Resizes the window so that its outer bounds (including frame) fit within the given rect.

Moves the window to the monitor with index monitor, keeping the relative position of the window’s top left corner.

Sets or unsets the location of the icon corresponding to the window. If set, the location should correspond to a dock, task bar or other user interface element displaying the icon, and is relative to the root window.
