Note that depending on the presence of a window frame is bad. The frame (and thus the frame size / orientation) can change while the application is running (every time the user switches to another window theme). It can also change depending on the window title, or window flags, or when you change the display resolution, or start another window manager (i.e. terminate the current one) while the application is running. Maybe the window itself is animating (opening/closing animation) and thus the window frame (and thus the size) changes rapidly. Maybe the window is minimized/hidden and has no frame yet. Maybe it is docked within windows of other applications (i.e. tabs) -> they have one common frame. Maybe it is running on a small display and hence nothing has window frames at all. Maybe the window frame (and frame size) changes depending on if the window is maximized or not. gtk does not provide a way to determine the current frame extents. That said, it is possible to find out the current frame extents, via xlib, if the window manager cooperates. > http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.4.html#id2511948 _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS, left, right, top, bottom, CARDINAL[4]/32 via the gdk xlib interface: unsigned long* extents; extents = NULL; if (gdk_property_get (w->window, gdk_atom_intern ("_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS", FALSE), gdk_atom_intern ("CARDINAL", FALSE), 0, sizeof(unsigned long) * 4, FALSE, NULL, NULL, NULL, (guchar**)& extents ) && extents) { printf("%d %d %d %d\n", extents[0], extents[1], extents[2], extents[3]); XFree (extents); } you can get it with the normal Xlib function too, which is XGetWindowProperty, but I'm way too tired to find out how to call that right now :) There are xlib bindings for fpc, so it shouldn't be hard to get it working. Hope that helps. > Regards.
