Window manager
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package provides the central part of Genode's componentized GUI stack
|
||
|
|
via a custom implementation of the nitpicker session interface.
|
||
|
|
It must be complemented by a window layouter and a window decorator, each of
|
||
|
|
which is a separate client component. Whereas the window decorator defines how
|
||
|
|
windows look, the window layouter defines how they behave.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The window manager, decorator, and layouter propagate their respective state
|
||
|
|
(like the window layout or the decoration margins) via reports and ROMs. The
|
||
|
|
window-manager package manages the flow of information between those parties
|
||
|
|
by providing a report and ROM service to the external layouter and decorator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The special roles of the layouter and decorator among the window-manager
|
||
|
|
clients are identified according to their names (labels), which are suffixed
|
||
|
|
with "layouter" and "decorator" respectively. All other clients are expected
|
||
|
|
to be regular windowed applications.
