Hello, I was wanting to make changes to the quartz managers and I hope I email this correctly. Q1: On the Xquartz application. we see the X11 logo on top of all windows @ the location for a proxy icon. I was told that the X11 image was compiled into the libXplugin.dylib that apple has kept closed source. What I am wondering is: does it leave the option open for changing this? There seems to be no documentation on the library and its usage. Q2: I like to update the screen resize functionality and add the native full screen support for 10.7+ users. Would this be part of the Window Manager or a part of the Xquartz? thank you Shane

Yeah, there's no support currently to allow this. If you want to work on it (on the quartz-wm / AppleWM side), come up with an API that would help you do that in XPlugin, and I'll try to schedule some time to implement it for you.
Q2: I like to update the screen resize functionality and add the native full screen support for 10.7+ users. Would this be part of the Window Manager or a part of the Xquartz?
It should be there already. Is it not? I don't have a retina mac, but I believe it should be supported. What is the output of 'xrandr' on your retina MBP? --Jeremy

I think you've misunderstood his request. He's looking for the new-since-Lion full-screen mode, where an app (or, actually, an individual window) goes full-screen to a new "space", and you can swipe back and forth. Doesn't have anything to do with HiDPI, Retina displays, or xrandr. I would say that's pretty hard to fit into the paradigm of an X server, which serves many clients and is not dedicated to a single app or window. Regards, Ken
Sounds about just like the older Fake Fullscreen mode, but instead uses the 10.7+ Fullscreen instead of just putting up a shield window to black everything out. On Oct 2, 2012, at 10:17 PM, Ken Thomases <ken@codeweavers.com> wrote:

Ah yeah. I quickly read "native full resolution" instead of "native full screen" ... ><

Yeah, it would be quite difficult to do for a given window. It would be possible for the rooted mode, and that should probably be possible without any additional support from Xplugin.
