A more complete description will be forthcoming eventually.
XAppleWMSelectInput is used to request that a client receive notification of the AppleWM events listed above. The event mask specifies the event types the client is interested in receiving. Passing an event mask of 0 stops notification of events.
XAppleWMSetWindowMenu and XAppleWMSetWindowMenuWithShortcuts set the list of windows displayed in the X server's "Window" menu in the Aqua menu bar. Other items may be listed in this menu by the X server, but a part of this menu is set aside for use by the Apple-WM extension. This is intended to be used to set a list of important top-level X11 windows.
One item of the X server's "Window" menu can have a checkmark beside it to indicate it is the active or front most window. XAppleWMSetWindowMenuCheck can be used to set the item number to put a checkmark beside.
XAppleWMSetFrontProcess directs the X server to make itself the front most application among all the other Mac OS X applications. This causes X11 windows to move above other applications' windows and for the X server to start receiving keyboard and mouse events.
Windows can be placed into different Aqua window levels with XAppleWMSetWindowLevel. The stacking of window levels takes precedence over the stacking of windows within a level. Thus the bottom window in a level will obscure even the top most window of a lower window level. By default all windows are placed in the lowest window level, AppleWMWindowLevelNormal. When a window is moved to a new level, it is ordered in front of all of its peers at the new level. Note, X11 does not have the concept of window levels and this function does not change the X11 window order. The result of trying to reorder an X11 window above another window of higher level is undefined. This should probably be changed.
By default, the X server will ask for confirmation whenever the user requests that it quit from the Aqua UI. XAppleWMSetCanQuit can be used to change this behavior. If a state of TRUE is passed, the X server will quit without confirmation when requested. If FALSE is passed, the default behavior is used.
XAppleWMFrameDraw can be used to decorate a top-level window with the standard Aqua window frame and widgets. The frame_class controls the overall look of the window frame and frame_attr specifies the details of how the various UI elements should be drawn. The dimensions of the X11 window content are passed as the inner_* rectangle and the dimensions of the Aqua window frame are passed as the outer_* rectangle. XAppleWMFrameGetRect is used to calculate the size of the outer rectangle from the size of the window content, which is being reparented.
XAppleWMFrameGetRect returns a rectangle that encloses an element of the window frame decoration. The frame_rect argument specifies the element of interest. The inner_* and outer_* rectangles (as described above) specify the window geometry. If AppleWMFrameRectTitleBar is passed for frame_rect, the inner_* parameters are ignored. The returned rectangle has the dimensions of the outer_* rectangle except that its height is equal to the constant title bar height for the specified frame_class. The proper outer rectangle for a given window content size is the union of inner rectangle and the title bar rectangle. The AppleWMFrameRectTracking and AppleWMFrameRectGrowBox rectangles are primarily intended to be used by the window manager to determine the correct placement for child windows to receive events. The tracking rectangle is the area of the window containing the close, collapse and zoom boxes. Typically when the cursor is over this area, the window manager will highlight the close, collapse, and zoom buttons to conform to the standard Aqua interface.
If a mouse up or down event is received in the tracking rectangle, XAppleWMFrameHitTest is used to determine which button was clicked. XAppleWMFrameHitTest returns AppleWMFrameCloseBox, AppleWMFrameCollapseBox, or AppleWMFrameZoomBox to indicate which button was clicked. If no button was clicked, 0 will be returned.
Other functions include: XAppleWMQueryExtension, which returns the event and error base codes and XAppleWMQueryVersion, which returns the current version of the extension. (This information is cached by the library.)
