shell_app_activate ()

void                shell_app_activate                  (ShellApp *app);

Like shell_app_activate_full(), but using the default workspace and event timestamp.

shell_app_activate_full ()

void                shell_app_activate_full             (ShellApp *app,
                                                         int workspace,
                                                         guint32 timestamp);

Perform an appropriate default action for operating on this application, dependent on its current state. For example, if the application is not currently running, launch it. If it is running, activate the most recently used NORMAL window (or if that window has a transient, the most recently used transient for that window).

shell_app_activate_window ()

void                shell_app_activate_window           (ShellApp *app,
                                                         MetaWindow *window,
                                                         guint32 timestamp);

Bring all windows for the given app to the foreground, but ensure that window is on top. If window is NULL, the window with the most recent user time for the app will be used.

This function has no effect if app is not currently running.

shell_app_compare ()

int                 shell_app_compare                   (ShellApp *app,
                                                         ShellApp *other);

Compare one ShellApp instance to another, in the following way: - Running applications sort before not-running applications. - If one of them has visible windows and the other does not, the one with visible windows is first. - Finally, the application which the user interacted with most recently compares earlier.

shell_app_compare_by_name ()

int                 shell_app_compare_by_name           (ShellApp *app,
                                                         ShellApp *other);

Order two applications by name.

shell_app_create_icon_texture ()

ClutterActor *      shell_app_create_icon_texture       (ShellApp *app,
                                                         int size);

Look up the icon for this application, and create a ClutterTexture for it at the given size.

shell_app_get_app_info ()

GDesktopAppInfo *   shell_app_get_app_info              (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_description ()

const char *        shell_app_get_description           (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_faded_icon ()

ClutterActor *      shell_app_get_faded_icon            (ShellApp *app,
                                                         int size,
                                                         ClutterTextDirection direction);

Return an actor with a horizontally faded look.

shell_app_get_id ()

const char *        shell_app_get_id                    (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_n_windows ()

guint               shell_app_get_n_windows             (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_name ()

const char *        shell_app_get_name                  (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_pids ()

GSList *            shell_app_get_pids                  (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_state ()

ShellAppState       shell_app_get_state                 (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_tree_entry ()

GMenuTreeEntry *    shell_app_get_tree_entry            (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_windows ()

GSList *            shell_app_get_windows               (ShellApp *app);

Get the toplevel, interesting windows which are associated with this application. The returned list will be sorted first by whether they're on the active workspace, then by whether they're visible, and finally by the time the user last interacted with them.

shell_app_is_on_workspace ()

gboolean            shell_app_is_on_workspace           (ShellApp *app,
                                                         MetaWorkspace *workspace);

shell_app_is_window_backed ()

gboolean            shell_app_is_window_backed          (ShellApp *app);

A window backed application is one which represents just an open window, i.e. there's no .desktop file assocation, so we don't know how to launch it again.

shell_app_launch ()

gboolean            shell_app_launch                    (ShellApp *app,
                                                         guint timestamp,
                                                         GList *uris,
                                                         int workspace,
                                                         char **startup_id,
                                                         GError **error);

Request that the application create a new window.

shell_app_request_quit ()

gboolean            shell_app_request_quit              (ShellApp *app);

Initiate an asynchronous request to quit this application. The application may interact with the user, and the user might cancel the quit request from the application UI.

This operation may not be supported for all applications.

shell_app_update_app_menu ()

void                shell_app_update_app_menu           (ShellApp *app,
                                                         MetaWindow *window);

shell_app_update_window_actions ()

void                shell_app_update_window_actions     (ShellApp *app,
                                                         MetaWindow *window);
