Description clydezhou 2012-10-15 07:19:16 UTC

Dear
I'm very appreciate that you provide such a good client(spice-gtk), it's fast and can redirect a lot of usb devices, which give me the feeling to use a physical machine. I think it will be wonderful if we have a way to exit full screen gracefully, rather than press "shift+F12". like a lot of full screen applications, when cursor moves to the topmost, there is a drop-down windows, which allows you to restore the window or close the window, I'd like to implement such a function, and I need some tips from you.

I already investigating a bit,I can get the "mouse move to topmost signal" from input channel, and we can emit this signal to display channel, then we can draw a drop-down window in the screen, but I don't know how to draw a button to close the window, I've lost in the code.

I need some tips to do such a function.

Thanks

The topmost toolbar can be handled all by the client side, no need to deal with Spice channels. You can look at virt-viewer src/virt-viewer-window.c, where the widget is created ViewAutoDrawer_New().

Alternatively, you can look at gtk3 solution using GtkOverlay & GtkEventBox, it is implemented by GNOME Boxes in src/display-page.vala.

fyi, the mailing is more appropriate for help discussion. Bugzilla is for bugs.

Talking with you for one moment is much better than reading code for ten years.
