Function Documentation

◆ enableBackgroundContrast() [1/2]

KWINDOWSYSTEM_EXPORT void KWindowEffects::enableBackgroundContrast ( QWindow window,
bool  enable = true,
qreal  contrast = 1,
qreal  intensity = 1,
qreal  saturation = 1,
const QRegion region = QRegion() 
)

Instructs the window manager to modify the color of the background in the specified region behind the given window, in order to improve the contrast and readability of any text in the translucent window.

The given region will overwrite any previous backgroundcontrast region. Passing a null region will enable the blur effect for the whole window. The region is relative to the top-left corner of the client area.

If enable is false, blur will be disabled for the whole window (region is ignored).

Note that you will usually want to set the region to the shape of the window, excluding any shadow or halo.

Parameters
windowThe window for which to enable the background contrast effect
enableEnable the effect if true, disable it if false
brightnessHow to modify the area brightness: from 0 (make it black) to 2 (make it white), 1 leaves it unchanged
regionThe region within the window where the background will be modified, specified in logical pixels
Since
5.82

Definition at line 57 of file kwindoweffects.cpp.

◆ enableBackgroundContrast() [2/2]

KWINDOWSYSTEM_EXPORT void KWindowEffects::enableBackgroundContrast ( WId  window,
bool  enable = true,
qreal  contrast = 1,
qreal  intensity = 1,
qreal  saturation = 1,
const QRegion region = QRegion() 
)

Instructs the window manager to modify the color of the background in the specified region behind the given window, in order to improve the contrast and readability of any text in the translucent window.

The given region will overwrite any previous backgroundcontrast region. Passing a null region will enable the blur effect for the whole window. The region is relative to the top-left corner of the client area.

If enable is false, blur will be disabled for the whole window (region is ignored).

Note that you will usually want to set the region to the shape of the window, excluding any shadow or halo.

Parameters
windowThe window for which to enable the background contrast effect
enableEnable the effect if true, disable it if false
brightnessHow to modify the area brightness: from 0 (make it black) to 2 (make it white), 1 leaves it unchanged
regionThe region within the window where the background will be modified, specified in logical pixels
Deprecated:
Since 5.82, use enableBackgroundContrast(QWindow) overload.

◆ enableBlurBehind() [1/2]

KWINDOWSYSTEM_EXPORT void KWindowEffects::enableBlurBehind ( QWindow window,
bool  enable = true,
const QRegion region = QRegion() 
)

Instructs the window manager to blur the background in the specified region behind the given window.

The given region will overwrite any previous blur-behind region. Passing a null region will enable the blur effect for the whole window. The region is relative to the top-left corner of the client area.

If enable is false, blur will be disabled for the whole window (region is ignored).

Note that you will usually want to set the region to the shape of the window, excluding any shadow or halo.

Parameters
windowThe window for which to enable the blur effect
enableEnable the effect if true, disable it if false
regionThe region within the window where the background will be blurred, specified in logical pixels
Since
5.82

Definition at line 52 of file kwindoweffects.cpp.

◆ enableBlurBehind() [2/2]

KWINDOWSYSTEM_EXPORT void KWindowEffects::enableBlurBehind ( WId  window,
bool  enable = true,
const QRegion region = QRegion() 
)

Instructs the window manager to blur the background in the specified region behind the given window.

The given region will overwrite any previous blur-behind region. Passing a null region will enable the blur effect for the whole window. The region is relative to the top-left corner of the client area.

If enable is false, blur will be disabled for the whole window (region is ignored).

Note that you will usually want to set the region to the shape of the window, excluding any shadow or halo.

Parameters
windowThe window for which to enable the blur effect
enableEnable the effect if true, disable it if false
regionThe region within the window where the background will be blurred, specified in logical pixels
Deprecated:
Since 5.82, use enableBlurBehind(QWindow) overload.

◆ highlightWindows()

KWINDOWSYSTEM_EXPORT void KWindowEffects::highlightWindows ( WId  controller,
const QList< WId > &  ids 
)

Highlight the selected windows, making all the others translucent.

Parameters

idsall the windows which should be highlighted.
Deprecated:
Since 5.82, Use org.kde.KWin.HighlightWindow d-bus api

Definition at line 76 of file kwindoweffects.cpp.

Definition at line 33 of file kwindoweffects.cpp.

◆ markAsDashboard()

KWINDOWSYSTEM_EXPORT void KWindowEffects::markAsDashboard ( WId  window)

Instructs the window manager to handle the given window as dashboard window as Dashboard windows should be handled differently and may have special effects applied to them.

Parameters
