Hi, Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to check the source before answering.
Currently it is not possible to supply your own window ID to pyglet. It is probably possible to to modify the XlibWindow class to allow this, but it is not trivial. You can have a look at XlibWindow._recreate and XlibWindow._create in pyglet/window/xlib/__init__.py Kind regards, Rob Op donderdag 17 september 2015 03:47:08 UTC+2 schreef Jesse Cox: > > I'm looking to write my own screensaver for Linux.
