Hello,
What’s the current ‘proper’ approach to do vulkan content in wayland/gtk window?
I dont want to go the libdecor route (those windows look fake and resizing area is always too large),
I was hoping to do a standard gtk app that would render vulkan content maybe through a custom widget, but I dont know if gtk supports that kind of thing (without having to render into a texture and feed manually into gtk widnow compositor)
Hi,
That sounds awfully complex…
If you want to use native window decorations provided by your WM, just call:
g_setenv("GTK_CSD", "0", TRUE);
at the start of your app.
And of course, don’t use gtk_window_set_titlebar afterwards, that will force using CSD.
Yeah, I’m already getting a beatufully decorated window when I create a standard gtk window. (I first tried to do a raw wayland window and got into a dead-end with the decorations.)
My question is rather how to integrate vulkan surface into the native gtk widnow.
If I just grab the wl_surface from the window, and try to use it for my rendering - it crashes the app because it seems to conflict with gtk’s own vulkan context.
So I assumed I need to do something like GLArea widget, but last time I saw VulkanArea widget mentioned was on some deprecated roadmap list, so I’m just not sure what the current intented way is.
