Searching in the logfile, I found these lines:

PHP Code:

120229:163106 winmgr[1080]: D lua:dbg::vis changed L:A_N:titleBar_ID:system vis =false 


PHP Code:

120229:151445 winmgr[1079]: D lua:dbg::vis changed L:A_N:titleBar_ID:system_TV:force vis =true 


These should be logs of titlebar removed and titlebar restored.

This is strange. Because this is exactly the name you need. Strangely I am able to get the expected result with a name like this if I try:

xev -name 'L:A_N:application_ID:com.erez.fullgallery001_PC:N'

I compiled a simple application testPlayer with gtk. After runnig, i cheked it by a command xwininfo -tree -root. It seems, that it is behind all widows. How to show this application above them?

*.c source code:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window;

gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Center");
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 230, 150);
gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(window), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
gtk_widget_show(window);

g_signal_connect_swapped(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy",
G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);

g_print (" main 0 \n");
gtk_main();
g_print (" main 1 \n");

return 0;
}


logs: xwininfo: Window id: 0x51 (the root window) (has no name)

Root window id: 0x51 (the root window) (has no name)
Parent window id: 0x0 (none)

[Ehhh]

I changed the title , and application starts to work well. Thank you!!

rename "after the fact"

xprop -name "oldname" -f WM_NAME 8s -set WM_NAME L:D_N:application_ID:newname:false_PC:T_RC:true_O:U

Doesn't cause layer to be topmost as layering is already decided by this point.

Get window id's etc...

Grammar for xprop:

xprop [<disp>] [<select option>] <option>* <mapping>* <spec>*

disp ::= -display host:dpy
select option ::= -root | -id <id> | -font <font> | -name <name>
option ::= -len <n> | -notype | -spy | {-formats|-fs} <format file>
mapping ::= {-f|-format} <atom> <format> [<dformat>]
| -remove <propname>
| -set <propname> <value>
spec ::= [<format> [<dformat>]] <atom>
format ::= {0|8|16|32}{a|b|c|i|m|s|t|x}*
dformat ::= <unit><unit>* (can't start with a letter or '-')
unit ::= ?<exp>(<unit>*) | $<n> | <display char>
exp ::= <term> | <term>=<exp> | !<exp>
term ::= <n> | $<n> | m<n>
display char ::= <normal char> | \<non digit char> | \<octal number>
normal char ::= <any char except a digit, $, ?, \, or )>

Control window props

xdotool windowreparent <windowid> <rootid>

[root@kindle root]# xdotool windowreparent 0x1000003 0x51
force topmost.

: ) for my reference

Also helpful:

[root@kindle root]# xdotool windowminimize 0xe00003
[root@kindle root]# xdotool windowminimize 0x1000024

hide the main layers

[root@kindle root]# xdotool windowminimize 0xe00033

hide search bar

back to the thrust of the message:
As the id's of the windows are not constant...

[root@kindle root]# xprop -root | grep -o -e [0-9]"x"[a-zA-Z0-9]*
is a place to start getting some values in realtime.

seemingly the root 0x51 is constant at least (not that that helps right now but might)

also:

[root@kindle root]# COUNTER=4; until [ $COUNTER -lt 1 ]; do xdotool search --classname --onlyvisible Pillowd windowminimize;let COUNTER-=1; done

is helpful

[root@kindle root]#

COUNTER=4; until [  $COUNTER -lt 1 ]; do xdotool search --classname --onlyvisible webreader windowminimize;let COUNTER-=1; done

Get "HOME" ID

[root@kindle root]# xwininfo -tree -root | grep "home" | grep -o -e 0x[a-z0-9][a-z0-9][a-z0-9][a-z0-9][a-z0-9][a-z0-9]*#

example

[root@kindle root]# xwininfo -tree -root | grep "home" | grep -o -e 0x[a-z0-9][a-z0-9][a-z0-9][a-z0-9][a-z0-9][a-z0-9]*

I'm currently testing that as a one shot solution. few issue with statusbar being "hid" long term, may do a geometry workaround in the medium term. geometry workaround now in place.

Otherwise Now useful. Provides a complete "safe" screen tear-down and build-back.

EDIT: To use these tools the way I use them:
I configure my system as outlined at minimodding.

Dude! Code in indent-killing quote blocks? What's up with that? How about some nice colorful php blocks, or at least correctly formatted code blocks, eh?

I like to set font size = 1 in code blocks (Advanced edit mode) to fit more on the visible line width.

just trying to "get it done". will tidy though : )

Feel free to refactor it into a method-based call. I haven't bothered yet but obviously that would be tidier.

Hi!

Kindle Paperwhite

Does anybody know whether the Kindle Touch window naming rule also works for Paperwhite?

can anybody test the following command

xev -name L:A_N:application_ID:somename_M:false_PC:N

will it work (show blank window) with Paperwhite?

Thanks!

this command shows a blank screen with a small rectangle in the upper left corner.
Stays untill interrupted by Ctrl/C. Sends the following output to the console:
