Quoting Chad Hardin:
As I'm going through the creation of the directfb backend for GNUstep,
I discovered that directfb is currently limited to 3 stacking classes
for its windows.
I could really use more, a couple dozen I think. Then I think I should
be able to merge DirectFB's concept of a Stackingclass to
GNUstep's/OpenStep's/Cocoa's concept of window layers.
I may find other interesting little things to change, and I'm wondering
if you're open to me submitting some patches.
The window management including properties and constrains etc. will change
soon, anyways.
Really? I casually monitor the list and haven't picked up on any upcoming changes like this. Interesting.
Is there a link of some kind that explains the changes?
DirectFB should only provide the core functionality for
complex window and desktop management.
Ok, my mention of needing "a couple dozen" StackingClasses was probably a bit much. :-)
8 is more like it, that is how many GNUstep has.
Here are the GNUstep levels:
enum {
NSDesktopWindowLevel = -1000, /* GNUstep addition */
NSNormalWindowLevel = 0,
NSFloatingWindowLevel = 3,
NSSubmenuWindowLevel = 3,
NSTornOffMenuWindowLevel = 3,
NSMainMenuWindowLevel = 20,
NSDockWindowLevel = 21, /* Deprecated - use NSStatusWindowLevel */
NSStatusWindowLevel = 21,
NSModalPanelWindowLevel = 100,
NSPopUpMenuWindowLevel = 101,
NSScreenSaverWindowLevel = 1000
};
Thanks!
Chad
Of course, I'm interested in the needs of GNUstep.
