Passing `j_json` to libhomescreen has no implication whatsoever on how to position or start the split-surface kind of surface. So any of "areas", "split.sub" or "normal.full" are not used. - showWindow() verb calls into libhomescreen which would attempt to start the application if it is not already started. If already started, it doesn't do anything. - activate_app() calls into private extension and informs the compositor to display/show the app_id identified by application_id. - set_window_props() calls into private extension and informs the compositor that the application_id would have a distinct role. Some roles like split here, would ignore any additional parameters you might be giving it. There's only AGL_SHELL_DESKTOP_APP_ROLE_SPLIT_VERTICAL or AGL_SHELL_DESKTOP_APP_ROLE_SPLIT_HORIZONTAL, which, depending on the output size would effectively be half of output. The client itself, is responsible for resizing to those values (after the compositor has informed it). Those additional parameters only makes sense for dialg/pop-up to specify an initial positioning or to create some kind of a bounding box to clip the surface to. I've posted an example w/ Qt that does the split at [1]. What I haven't tested lately, is the activation of the split surface roles, and at the moment I assume it only happens for the that particular surface. Probably a feature here would be to take focus input into account or to have some kind of a gesture that tells the compositor which surface to change between the two. Note that this example is a bit different from what you're trying to achieve, the application itself would be started as split one. > Now, it is not clearly explaned how to be done to control each areas' applications.</p> > My question are:</p> > 1. the paramenter **output_name** affects where I actually draw my applications areas? </p> Anywhere you see output, you would need an output. The toolkit usually exposes that, and I've used QScreen with Qt to retrieve the underlying wayland object. If there isn't one, it would default to the first one added to the list by the underlying toolkit (and basically how the compositor advertises to the toolkit the outputs). > 2.
