🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: your windows are stacked up like a lil pile of cards, right? and these four functions are how you shuffle them around 👑

tickit_window_raise() brings the given window one level higher up in the stacking order in its parent. just one lil step up, no drama.

tickit_window_raise_to_front() brings the given window to the front of the stacking order in its parent. like, all the way to the top, main character energy, nobody's blocking you now 💖

heads up: these functions may cause new areas of the given window or children of it to become exposed, and may result in TICKIT_EV_EXPOSE events when tickit_window_flush(3) is next called. so like, don't be surprised when the expose events come knocking, it's expected fr fr

tickit_window_lower() brings the given window one level lower down in the stacking order in its parent. just a lil scootch down.

tickit_window_lower_to_back() brings the given window to the back of the stacking order in its parent. going ghost mode, tucked all the way behind everything else 🫶

same deal here: these functions may cause new areas of other sibling windows or their children to become exposed, and may result in TICKIT_EV_EXPOSE events when tickit_window_flush(3) is next called. the expose events are coming for your siblings this time, not you, no cap

🍓 RETURN VALUE 🍓

These functions return no value. like, void. nothing. they just do the thing and dip ✨
