** Problem
|
|
Almost all of is in these modern days have to (or want to) deal with
|
|
more than one application simultaneously. This way, we want to start
|
|
some activity in one app, go to another, do something here, and so on.
|
|
At some moment a particular application activated previously, finishes
|
|
its activity and you want to be aware of this fact to be able to activate
|
|
it again and maybe start another activity after all. Luckily X Window
|
|
system allows us to do this by mean of EWMH standard implementation.
|
|
|
|
Namely, application windows expecting rather immediate user action
|
|
should indicate this using the urgency bit in the WM_HINTS.flags property,
|
|
as defined in the ICCCM.
|
|
|
|
This contrib extension was written with purpose of providing the
|
|
appropriate handles for this low-level xorg functionality to StumpWM.
|
|
|
|
** Usage
|
|
Add this to your =.stumpwmrc=:
|
|
|
|
Load contrib module:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
|
|
(load-module "urgentwindows")
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
Then customize message text, if needed:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
|
|
(setf urgentwindows:*urgent-window-message* "application ~a has just finished its business!")
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
Make sure the proper formatting is used (single value placeholder needed, see above), otherwise error occurs.
|
|
|
|
And finally, use =raise-urgent= to focus urgent windows.
