Detailed Description

The XdgShell extension provides desktop functionality such as minimize, maximize, and resize using the xdg-shell protocol. It creates an XdgSurface for each Wayland surface.

The following snippet demonstrates how to use the extension:

import QtQuick 2.6
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtWayland.Compositor 1.0

WaylandCompositor {
    id: wlcompositor
    // The output defines the screen.
    WaylandOutput {
        compositor: wlcompositor
        window: Window {
            width: 1024
            height: 768
            visible: true
            Rectangle {
                id: surfaceArea
                color: "#1337af"
                anchors.fill: parent
            }
        }
    }
    // The chrome defines the window look and behavior.
    // Here we use the built-in ShellSurfaceItem.
    Component {
        id: chromeComponent
        ShellSurfaceItem {
            onSurfaceDestroyed: destroy()
        }
    }
    // Extensions are additions to the core Wayland
    // protocol. We choose to support two different
    // shells (window management protocols). When the
    // client creates a new window, we instantiate a
    // chromeComponent on the output.
    extensions: [
        WlShell {
            onShellSurfaceCreated:
                chromeComponent.createObject(surfaceArea, { "shellSurface": shellSurface } );
        },
        XdgShell {
            onXdgSurfaceCreated:
                chromeComponent.createObject(surfaceArea, { "shellSurface": xdgSurface } );
        }
    ]
}
