crcbl_shell/role.rs
1//! What kind of window a [`WindowDesc`] asks for: an
2//! application window, a panel, or a popup.
3//!
4//! Most programs want [`WindowRole::Toplevel`], the window every desktop has.
5//! The other two are for desktop furniture — a status bar, a launcher, a
6//! notification, a menu opened from a bar — which every window system has a
7//! different mechanism for, and which no program should have to write three
8//! times:
9//!
10//! | role | Wayland | Win32 | AppKit |
11//! | --- | --- | --- | --- |
12//! | [`Panel`](WindowRole::Panel) | `zwlr_layer_surface_v1` | a topmost tool window; an appbar when it reserves an edge | a non-activating `NSPanel` |
13//! | [`Popup`](WindowRole::Popup) | `xdg_popup` | a `WS_POPUP` tool window | a child `NSPanel` |
14//!
15//! Which roles a backend can build is in its caps —
16//! [`ShellCaps::PANEL`] and
17//! [`ShellCaps::POPUP`] — and asking for one it cannot
18//! is [`ShellError::Unsupported`], never a
19//! toplevel in its place: a bar that silently became a normal window would
20//! cover the desktop it was meant to sit at the edge of.
