Hello,
Is CD based on Gtk at all?
How do you do to reserve space on the screen for the dock?
Thanks,
Benjamin |

Hello
CD uses GTK for the menus and the config panel (and indirectly by using gtkgltext) but if you want to reserve space for a window, you can also use some Xorg functions (but GTK can also do that for a window created with GTK (like Qt, Java, etc.)).

Well i am curious about the Xorg functions you are talking about, how can i do that with python?
(I know how to reserve space with Gtk+2 but Gtk+3 with PyGI is badly documented and i just can't figure out how to do it. With Qt i don't know either, i bombarded forums with regard to this, but no-one seems to know.) |

yep we talk to X directly to do some operations, like reserving the space (with the atom _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL)
there is maybe a function that does that in gdk/gtk, but when I checked I didn't find one. |

Gtk+3 with PyGI doesn't offer this possibility (it's been confirmed to me). I got to see with Xlib instead.
Thanks. |
