Xeratul · 05-10-2017, 01:42 AM

Hello,

I have here a small code that displays a tiny clock on X11.

However, xfce panel tells me :
"Untitled".

Which xlib function gives it an application name ?

tiny educational example of x11 app:

Hi Jefro,

would you eventually know how to start my x11 application (tiny clock) to the geometry location -0-0 ?

I might search for WIDTH/HEIGHT of x11 screen=?

Code:

   s = DefaultScreen(d);
   w = XCreateSimpleWindow(d, RootWindow(d, s), 0, 0, WINWIDTH , 20, 1, BlackPixel(d, s), WhitePixel(d, s));
   // Set the window's name
   XStoreName( d , w , "nxclock");
   XSelectInput(d, w, ExposureMask | KeyPressMask);
   XMapWindow(d, w);
