Provide hooks for overriding default behavior about wlc HOT 7 CLOSED

👍

Would particularly like to override borders. I would say that the things you mentioned (border, background) are both probably the domain of the consumer of this library, and don't really belong in the library itself.

Edit: that's not to say that wlc shouldn't provide facilities to the consumer for actually doing those things, I think that's fine and actually quite nice. But providing a default behaviour is probably not great.

Background most likely moves to be a wayland client. Drawing borders, focus or other view related things and effects though makes sense inside compositor. Wlc will not provide facilities for drawing itself, you must choose library yourself for that.

That seems fine. I'm just looking for a way to get rid of the default borders and close/max/min buttons and so on. The background as a wayland client makes sense, too.

For those, you can't get rid of those until somebody stands up with a protocol extension for that. Client draws those borders, and currently there is no way to communicate between compositor/client to not do that.

Oh, so those aren't wlc's domain?

Nope, wlc borders would be the server-side borders. The thing Weston does for Xwayland clients. Weston test applications and GTK draw client side borders.

I see. Thanks for clarifying.
