Question about Widget.Window

[Davido264]

I want to create a window that can be detected by hyprland, and then send it to a special workspace. Is this possible using ags?

I was wondering the same recently and kotontrion answered me on discord:

Widget.Window is alway a layer shell window. If you want to use a normal window you have to use new Gtk.Window

I've already tested this and can confirm it works.

Note that you can't use some AGS specific things like hook and bind with Gtk.Window directly.

If you want to use them you can add that by subclassing it yourself.

const window = Gtk.Window({
  ...
})

const RegularWindow = Widget.subclass(Gtk.Window)
const window2 = RegularWindow({
  ...
})

//does not work
window.hook(...)
window.keybind(...)

//works
window2.hook(...)
window2.keybind(...)
