Method

GdkWindowset_override_redirect

Declaration [src]

void
gdk_window_set_override_redirect (
  GdkWindow* window,
  gboolean override_redirect
)

Description [src]

An override redirect window is not under the control of the window manager. This means it won’t have a titlebar, won’t be minimizable, etc. - it will be entirely under the control of the application. The window manager can’t see the override redirect window at all.

Override redirect should only be used for short-lived temporary windows, such as popup menus. GtkMenu uses an override redirect window in its implementation, for example.

Parameters

override_redirect

Type: gboolean

TRUE if window should be override redirect.
