[static] int QX11Info::appDpiX(int screen = -1)

Returns the horizontal resolution of the given screen in terms of the number of dots per inch.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

[static] int QX11Info::appDpiY(int screen = -1)

Returns the vertical resolution of the given screen in terms of the number of dots per inch.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

[static] unsigned long QX11Info::appRootWindow(int screen = -1)

Returns a handle for the applications root window on the given screen.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

[static] int QX11Info::appScreen()

Returns the number of the screen where the application is being displayed.

This method refers to screens in the original X11 meaning with a different DISPLAY environment variable per screen. This information is only useful if your application needs to know on which X screen it is running.

In a typical multi-head configuration, multiple physical monitors are combined in one X11 screen. This means this method returns the same number for each of the physical monitors. In such a setup you are interested in the monitor information as provided by the X11 RandR extension. This is available through QDesktopWidget and QScreen.

[static] unsigned long QX11Info::appTime()

Returns the X11 time.

See also setAppTime() and appUserTime().

[static] unsigned long QX11Info::appUserTime()

Returns the X11 user time.

See also setAppUserTime() and appTime().

[static] xcb_connection_t *QX11Info::connection()

Returns the default XCB connection for the application.

See also display().

[static] Display *QX11Info::display()

Returns the default display for the application.

See also appScreen().

[static] unsigned long QX11Info::getTimestamp()

Fetches the current X11 time stamp from the X Server.

This method creates a property notify event and blocks till it is received back from the X Server.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

[static] bool QX11Info::isCompositingManagerRunning(int screen = -1)

Returns true if there is a compositing manager running for the connection attached to screen.

If screen equals -1, the application's primary screen is used.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.7.

[static] bool QX11Info::isPlatformX11()

Returns true if the application is currently running on X11.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

[static] QByteArray QX11Info::nextStartupId()

Returns the startup ID that will be used for the next window to be shown by this process.

After the next window is shown, the next startup ID will be empty.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.4.

See also setNextStartupId().

[static] void QX11Info::setAppTime(unsigned long time)

Sets the X11 time to the value specified by time.

See also appTime() and setAppUserTime().

[static] void QX11Info::setAppUserTime(unsigned long time)

Sets the X11 user time as specified by time.

See also appUserTime() and setAppTime().

[static] void QX11Info::setNextStartupId(const QByteArray &id)

Sets the next startup ID to id.

This is the startup ID that will be used for the next window to be shown by this process.

The startup ID of the first window comes from the environment variable DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID. This method is useful for subsequent windows, when the request comes from another process (e.g. via DBus).

This function was introduced in Qt 5.4.
