set_override_redirect


Description:

public void set_override_redirect (bool override_redirect)

An override redirect window is not under the control of the window manager.

This means it won’t have a titlebar, won’t be minimizable, etc. - it will be entirely under the control of the application. The window manager can’t see the override redirect window at all.

Override redirect should only be used for short-lived temporary windows, such as popup menus. GtkMenu uses an override redirect window in its implementation, for example.

Parameters:

this

a toplevel Window

override_redirect

true if window should be override redirect
