DTWSMGETCURRENTBACKDROPWINDOW(3)

💅 DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow(3) 💅

okay bestie, this page lives in the <hotpink>DtWsmGetCu...kdropWindow(library call)</hotpink> manual — the title is doing its little truncated thing, but the main character is DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow. let’s get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow — get the backdrop window for the current workspace. literally that’s the whole assignment 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include &<Dt/Wsm.h>
Window DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow(
Display *display,
Window root);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow works with the XCDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and returns the window used as the backdrop for the current workspace. no cap 💅

• display — the X display.
• root — the root window of the screen of interest.

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

Upon successful completion, the DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow returns the window used as the backdrop for the current workspace.

The function returns None if there is no backdrop window for the workspace or if the XCDE workspace manager is not running. boom, that’s the tea 🫶

🎀 APPLICATION USAGE 🎀

If the DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow function is not successful, failure may be due to a memory allocation error or failure to find the correct workspace information (that is, the XCDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running). lowkey important info 👑
