zaura_shell
The global interface exposing aura shell capabilities is used to instantiate an interface extension for a wl_surface object. This extended interface will then allow the client to use aura shell specific functionality.
get_aura_surface(id: new_id<zaura_surface>, surface: object<wl_surface>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | new_id<zaura_surface> | the new aura surface interface id |
surface | object<wl_surface> | the surface |
Instantiate an interface extension for the given wl_surface to provide aura shell functionality. If the given wl_surface is not associated with a shell surface, the shell_surface_missing protocol error is raised.
get_aura_output(id: new_id<zaura_output>, output: object<wl_output>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | new_id<zaura_output> | the new aura output interface id |
output | object<wl_output> | the output |
Instantiate an interface extension for the given wl_output to provide aura shell functionality.
surface_submission_in_pixel_coordinates()
[Deprecated] Informs the server that when submitting surfaces, this client will not use wl_surface_set_buffer_scale to report the scales, nor will it apply scale via vp_viewporter. Instead the server should apply an appropriate scale transform to have the submitted buffers composited correctly.

Retrieve the aura popup interface for the given xdg popup interface
release()
Using this request a client can tell the server that it is not going to use the zaura_shell object anymore. This does not affect any other objects.
This is named "release" because "destroy" is a special named function used for freeing wl_proxy objects. Naming it "destroy" will cause marshalling errors when running on lower versioned hosts. All "release" requests here should be renamed to "destroy" if we move to aura-shell v2.

Typically this request will only be honoured in response to some user driven event, such as executing an application or opening a file in a window that already exists.
draw_attention()
Draw attention to this surface in a way that does not change the user's focus. This usually means animating window decorations or taskbar icons. The compositor can still ignore this request if it deems fit, but unlike draw_focus, these requests are expected to come from background tasks, and are more likely to be honoured.
set_fullscreen_mode(mode: uint<zaura_surface.fullscreen_mode>)

set_pin(trusted: int)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
trusted | int | 0 for non trusted |
Requests that a window is pinned which means that the system does not allow the user to leave the window until an exit criteria is met.
This is a request to get the window pinned so that the user cannot get to any other window / application. There are two modes: A. trusted is 0 - which is slightly less restrictive and allows the user to get out of the window by a predefined way of authentication. B. trusted is not 0 in which case a trusted application was locking down the system and needs to unlock. This is used for e.g. School tests.
unset_pin()
Requests that the user can leave a previously pinned window.
This is a request to unpin a previously pinned window. It does not matter if the window was locked with the trusted state or not.

zaura_output
An additional interface to a wl_output object, which allows the client to access aura shell specific functionality for output.
release()
Destroy this zaura_shell object.
Destroying a bound zaura_shell object while there are zaura_surfaces still alive created by this zaura_shell object instance is illegal and will result in a protocol error.

---|---|---|
flags | uint<zaura_output.scale_property> | bitfield of scale flags |
scale | uint<zaura_output.scale_factor> | output scale |
The scale event describes an available scale for the output.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and there will always be one scale, the current scale. The event is sent again if an output changes scale, for the scale that is now current. In other words, the current scale is always the last scale that was received with the current flag set.

This event describes the device specific scale factor for the output.
The device specific scale factor is not expected the change during the lifetime of the output. And it is not limited to an integer value like the scale factor provided by wl_output interface. The exact contents scale used by the compositor can be determined by combining this device scale factor with the current output scale.
The event is sent when binding to the output object.
This event describes the insets for the output in logical screen coordinates, from which the work area can be calculated.
This event is sent before wl_output.done, after which the client would apply the change.
logical_transform(transform: int<wl_output.transform>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
transform | int<wl_output.transform> |
This event describes the logical transform for the output. Whereas wl_output.geometry's transform corresponds to the display's panel rotation, the logical transform corresponds to the display's logical rotation.

set_orientation_lock(orientation_lock: uint<zaura_toplevel.orientation_lock>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
orientation_lock | uint<zaura_toplevel.orientation_lock> |
Request a specific orientation behavior when this surface is in fullscreen.
surface_submission_in_pixel_coordinates()
Informs the server that when submitting this surface, this client will not use wl_surface_set_buffer_scale to report the scales, nor will it apply scale via vp_viewporter. Instead the server should apply an appropriate scale transform for the submitted buffers to be composited correctly.
set_supports_screen_coordinates()
Requesting this will enable screen coordinates in surfaces associated with aura_toplevel including sub surfaces and popup windows who added this toplevel as a parent. This should be set before first commit.
Request a new location and bounds of the surface in DP screen coordinates. The size will be applied to visible bounds used in set_geometry. The output is a hint for the compositor to determine which output the window should move to. If the output is null, the compositor should make decision solely by the given bounds. These parameters are just a request and the compositor may ignore, adjust the size and position based on the rule imposed by the window manager, or may preserve it for future operations. For example, the compositor will not allow a position outside of the output, or the compositor may just store it if the toplevel surface is in maximiezd state, and may use it upon unmaximized.
set_restore_info(restore_session_id: int, restore_window_id: int)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
restore_session_id | int | unique browser session id |
restore_window_id | int | restore browser window id |
Request session id and restore id of a newly created browser window. Set the information used by compositor to restore the toplevel surface state, such as window position, window state, upon creation. This is not double buffered and must be set before sending first commit.
set_system_modal()
Requests that the toplevel surface should become a system modal. The compositor will prevent other windows from receiving events. If there are multiple system modal surfaces, the compositor will decide which one to receive events.
unset_system_modal()
Requests that the system modal state of the toplevel surface will be unset. The compositor will then allow other windows to recieve events.
set_restore_info_with_window_id_source(restore_session_id: int, restore_window_id_source: string)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
restore_session_id | int | unique browser session id |
restore_window_id_source | string | restore window id source |
Request session id and restore id of the window. Set the information used by compositor to restore the toplevel surface state, such as window position, window state, upon creation. This is not double buffered and must be set before sending first commit. This is different from set_restore_info, used for clients that create multiple windows associated with restore_id_source.
set_decoration(type: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
type | uint | the new frame type |
Clients are allowed to request a particular decoration for a zaura_toplevel. The server is not required to honor this request. See decoration_type for available options. This must be set before the initial commit first, otherwise the subsequent request may not be fulfilled. Available since M105.
release()
Destroy this zaura_toplevel object. A client should call destroy when the role is unmapped from a wl_surface.
See zaura_shell.release for destructor naming.
set_float()
[Deprecated] Use set_float_to_location. This is a request to place the surface above others.
unset_float()
Request that the surface resets floating.
set_z_order(z_order: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
z_order | uint | z order value for the window |
Sets the z order for a toplevel surface. See z_order_level for available options.
Request a new location for the surface in device-independent pixels (DPs), relative to the top-left corner of the given output.
A null output means whichever output currently contains the surface.
These parameters are just a request and the compositor may ignore them, adjust them due to rules imposed by the window manager, or preserve them for future operations. For example, the compositor will not allow a position outside of the output; or the compositor may just store it if the toplevel surface is in maximized state, and may use it upon unmaximize.
activate()
Activates this window. This is equivalent to bringing the window to the foreground. The compositor is free to ignore this request if it deems the client to be misbehaving.
deactivate()
Deactivates this window. This is equivalent to requesting that the window not be the foreground window. The exact behavior is compositor-defined. The compositor is free to ignore this request if it deems the client to be misbehaving.
set_fullscreen_mode(mode: uint<zaura_toplevel.fullscreen_mode>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
mode | uint<zaura_toplevel.fullscreen_mode> |
Suggests how the windowing manager should behave if this surface were to go fullscreen. Does not make the surface fullscreen.
In precise, if the surface is not in fullscreen yet, switching the mode does not have immediate impact from the client side perspective, but will change the behavior when making the surface fullscreen is requested next time. If the surface is already in fullscreen, then this request has an immediate impact to switch the fullscreen mode between plan and immersive.
set_scale_factor(scale_factor_as_uint: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
scale_factor_as_uint | uint |
The client has a 32-bit float scale factor that is associated with each zaura toplevel. This scale factor must be propagated exactly to exo. To do so we reinterpret_cast into a 32-bit uint and later cast back into a float. This is because wayland does not support native transport of floats. As different CPU architectures may use different endian representations for IEEE 754 floats, this protocol implicitly assumes that the caller and receiver are the same machine. To avoid redundant messages, this request needs to only be called once when the zaura toplevel scale factor changes. This is double buffered state and will be applied in the next commit.
set_snap_primary(snap_ratio_as_uint: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
snap_ratio_as_uint | uint |
Request that surface is snapped to the left or top if primary layout, right or bottom otherwise.
set_snap_secondary(snap_ratio_as_uint: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
snap_ratio_as_uint | uint |
Request that surface is snapped to the right or bottom if primary layout, left or top otherwise.
intent_to_snap(direction: uint<zaura_toplevel.snap_direction>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
direction | uint<zaura_toplevel.snap_direction> |
Notify (or inform) the server the client's intent to snap the window. To inform it's no longer willing to snap, send 'none'.
unset_snap()
Request that window unsets snapping.
set_persistable(persistable: uint<zaura_toplevel.persistable>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
persistable | uint<zaura_toplevel.persistable> | is the argument persistable |
Request the persistable status of a window. Sets the persistable status of the window in its window properties. Should be called before first commit.
Sets the shape of the toplevel window in DP. Passing NULL will reset the shape of the window.
This should be used only in support of the existing (deprecated) Chrome Apps SetShape API and not for any other purpose.
set_top_inset(height: int)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
height | int | Top inset of client window. Should be non negative. |
Sets the top inset to the surface. This represents the header height and should be non negative.
ack_rotate_focus(serial: uint, handled: uint<zaura_toplevel.rotate_handled_state>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
serial | uint | serial for the original; rotation event |
handled | uint<zaura_toplevel.rotate_handled_state> | whether or not the rotation was successful |
If the focus has been successfully rotated between UI elements inside surface, client replies with 'handled'. If the focus didn't rotate, the client reply with 'not_handled'. A server may use this to move the focus to next focusable surface.
Note that a delay in processing in the client could result in stale acks received by the server.
set_can_maximize()
Hints to the window manager that the toplevel surface can be maximized.
unset_can_maximize()
Hints to the window manager that the toplevel surface should not be maximized. Note that the window manager might still request the client to be maximized. In such an event, the client should respect the window manager's request and maximize. It may unset the maximized state afterwards.
set_can_fullscreen()
Hints to the window manager that the toplevel surface can enter fullscreen.
unset_can_fullscreen()
Hints to the window manager that the toplevel surface should not be enter fullscreen. Note that the window manager might still request the client enter fullscreen. In such an event, the client should respect the window manager's request and enter fullscreen. It may exit fullscreen afterwards.
set_float_to_location(mode: uint<zaura_toplevel.float_start_location>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
mode | uint<zaura_toplevel.float_start_location> |
This is a request to place the surface above others.
set_window_corner_radii(upper_left_radius: uint, upper_right_radius: uint, lower_right_radius: uint, lower_left_radius: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
upper_left_radius | uint | |
upper_right_radius | uint | |
lower_right_radius | uint | |
lower_left_radius | uint |
The client specifies the radius of each corner to be applied to the window in DPs (device independent pixels).
The window radius is double buffered, and will be applied at the time wl_surface.commit of the corresponding wl_surface is called.
Note: Rounded corner radii affects the wl_surface tree, including subsurfaces. Once this protocol is called, surfaces cannot set their own rounded corner bounds because rounded window bounds will be applied to the whole surface tree.
set_shadow_corner_radii(upper_left_radius: uint, upper_right_radius: uint, lower_right_radius: uint, lower_left_radius: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
upper_left_radius | uint | |
upper_right_radius | uint | |
lower_right_radius | uint | |
lower_left_radius | uint |
The client specifies the radius of each corner to be applied to the shadow associated with the aura toplevel surface in device independent pixels (DPs).
The shadow radius is double buffered, and will be applied at the time wl_surface.commit of the corresponding wl_surface is called.
A configuration change that also includes the window origin in screen coordinates.
A notification sent when the window origin has changed. Unlike a configure, this does not imply the client needs to resize. The values are in screen coordinates.
configure_raster_scale(scale: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
scale | uint | Raster scale, in float format |
Sets the raster scale of this window. This should be called during a configure event sequence. To do so we reinterpret_cast into a 32-bit uint and later cast back into a float. This is because wayland does not support native transport of floats. As different CPU architectures may use different endian representations for IEEE 754 floats, this protocol implicitly assumes that the caller and receiver are the same machine.
rotate_focus(serial: uint, direction: uint<zaura_toplevel.rotate_direction>, restart: uint<zaura_toplevel.rotate_restart_state>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
serial | uint | serial for the rotation event |
direction | uint<zaura_toplevel.rotate_direction> | the direction for linear traversal |
restart | uint<zaura_toplevel.rotate_restart_state> | whether or not to restart traversal |
Rotates focus within the toplevel window. The window must sort its focusable view into a stable and linearly traversable order. Prior to rotating focus, the surface should already be activated and have keyboard focus. If the surface has not been activated or does not have keyboard focus, the server should first activate and enter keyboard focus for the window. An example of event order could be:
1. activate surface 2. enter keyboard focus 3. rotate focus
If the window is not activated or does not have keyboard focus, the client should respond with a "not handled" and not perform any operation.
To start a new series rotation, the server will set the "restart" arg to true. If the "restart" arg is set to true, the window should set the focus on the first UI element for the given direction and not perform any rotation.
The client should respond with whether the rotation was successful via the "handled" field in the "ack_rotate_focus" request. The client should pass on the event serial and direction within the ack message.
overview_change(in_overview: uint<zaura_toplevel.in_overview>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
in_overview | uint<zaura_toplevel.in_overview> | in overview or not |
The window is being shown in overview mode. Note that this is different than shell overview state, as not all windows will be part of the overview grid.
configure_occlusion_state(mode: uint<zaura_toplevel.occlusion_state>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
mode | uint<zaura_toplevel.occlusion_state> |
Sets the occlusion state of this window. This should be called during a configure event sequence. This is used when the occlusion state needs to be set as a synchronized operation, compared to occlusion_state_changed, which is not synchronized. For example, this can be used to mark a window as hidden so it can discard resources. When making it visible again, it may need some time to recreate its buffers, which is why this operation needs to be synchronized.
orientation_lock { none, portrait, landscape, current, portrait_primary, landscape_primary, portrait_secondary, landscape_secondary }

zaura_popup
An interface to the popup shell, which allows the client to access shell specific functionality.
surface_submission_in_pixel_coordinates()
Informs the server that when submitting this surface, this client will not use wl_surface_set_buffer_scale to report the scales, nor will it apply scale via vp_viewporter. Instead the server should apply an appropriate scale transform for the submitted buffers to be composited correctly.
set_decoration(type: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
type | uint | the new frame type |
Clients are allowed to request a particular decoration for a zaura_toplevel. The server is not required to honor this request. See decoration_type for available options. Available since M105.
release()
This request destroys the zaura_popup. A client should call destroy when the role is unmapped from a wl_surface.
See zaura_shell.release for destructor naming.
set_scale_factor(scale_factor_as_uint: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
scale_factor_as_uint | uint |
The client has a 32-bit float scale factor that is associated with each zaura popup. This scale factor must be propagated exactly to exo. To do so we reinterpret_cast into a 32-bit uint and later cast back into a float. This is because wayland does not support native transport of floats. As different CPU architectures may use different endian representations for IEEE 754 floats, this protocol implicitly assumes that the caller and receiver are the same machine. To avoid redundant messages, this request needs to only be called once when the zaura popup's scale factor changes.
zaura_output_manager
[Deprecated] Deprecated since M122. See the zaura_output_manager_v2 interface.
A global responsible for ensuring clients have a complete view of a given output's state immediately following the bind of wl_output, and subsequently as needed.
Clients can expect that all the manager's events for a given wl_output arrive before the associated wl_output.done event. Clients must bind to the manager global before any output globals.
This event is sent after all relevant properties of a zaura_output_manager for a given wl_output have been sent.
display_id(output: object<wl_output>, display_id_hi: uint, display_id_lo: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
output | object<wl_output> | |
display_id_hi | uint | |
display_id_lo | uint |
This event describes the 64bit display id assigned to each display by ChromeOS. The value is opaque and should not be interpreted.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and subsequently as output state changes.
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
output | object<wl_output> | |
x | int | x position within the global compositor space |
y | int | y position within the global compositor space |
The position event describes the location of the wl_output within the global compositor space.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and subsequently as output state changes.
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
output | object<wl_output> | |
width | int | width in global compositor space |
height | int | height in global compositor space |
The logical_size event describes the logical size of the output in the global compositor space.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and subsequently as output state changes.
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
output | object<wl_output> | |
width | int | width in global compositor space |

The physical resolution of the display in pixels. The value should not include any overscan insets or display rotation, except for any panel orientation adjustment.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and subsequently as output state changes.
This event describes the insets for the output in logical screen coordinates, from which the work area can be calculated.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and subsequently as output state changes.
device_scale_factor(output: object<wl_output>, device_scale_factor: uint)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
output | object<wl_output> | |
device_scale_factor | uint | display scale factor, in float format |
The scale factor of the output device. We reinterpret_cast the float scale factor into a 32-bit uint and later cast back into a float. This is because wayland does not support native transport of floats. As different CPU architectures may use different endian representations for IEEE 754 floats, this protocol implicitly assumes that the caller and receiver are the same machine.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and subsequently as output state changes.
logical_transform(output: object<wl_output>, transform: int<wl_output.transform>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
output | object<wl_output> | |
transform | int<wl_output.transform> | transform that maps framebuffer to output |
This event describes the logical transform for the output. Whereas panel transform corresponds to the display's panel rotation, the logical transform corresponds to the display's logical rotation.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and subsequently as output state changes.
panel_transform(output: object<wl_output>, transform: int<wl_output.transform>)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
output | object<wl_output> | |
transform | int<wl_output.transform> | transform that maps framebuffer to output |
