And any running application in the computing equipment can display the application window on the desktop according to the application window display method in the invention.

In order to set the window of the application in a personalized way, and enable the application not to set the window by itself, and the window logic is not repeatedly set and constructed when a plurality of applications are used, the invention sets the window background of the window displayed by the application in a related way according to the desktop to be displayed by the application, and sets the implementation function of the application, so that the window and the desktop of the application use the same background and form the same theme with the desktop.

The computing device also runs an operating system, and the operating system can be realized as a linux system, a windows system and the like. The application window display method is further adapted to be executed in an operating system by a kernel of the operating system.

In the application window display method, step S310 is first executed: a first configuration attribute of a first window to be drawn by an application is obtained. The application sets first configuration attributes of the first window, wherein the first configuration attributes comprise a permission attribute, a scaling attribute, a filling attribute and a size attribute.

In the first configuration attribute, the authority attribute specifies that the first application does not draw the first window by itself, and the operating system draws the first window according to the desktop to be displayed by the first application. The authority attribute can be specifically set as: setAttribute (Qt:: WA _ NoBackground).

The filling attribute specifies a filling mode of the desktop background when the window background of the first window is drawn according to the desktop background, and the filling mode comprises proportional filling and uniform filling; the aspect ratio of the picture as the desktop background is kept when the picture is filled in proportion, and the aspect ratio of the picture as the desktop background is not limited when the picture is uniformly filled; the fill property may be set by the parameter wallpaperfillmodefmode.

The size attribute specifies the size of the first window to be rendered by the first application, including the length and width of the first window, etc. The size attribute may be used as an initial size of the first window, and the size of the first window may be freely adjusted after the first window is displayed on the desktop.

Subsequently, step S320 is executed to obtain a first desktop background of the desktop, and generate a second configuration attribute of the first window to be drawn by the application according to the background parameter of the first desktop background and the first configuration attribute. In order to draw a window on a desktop, a first window is drawn according to a first desktop background of the desktop, and background parameters of the first desktop background are stored in a first configuration attribute to serve as a newly added background attribute. The second configuration attribute includes the first configuration attribute and the context attribute. The computing device also comprises an external memory, and the background parameter of the first desktop background is a storage position of the first desktop background in the external memory.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a window attribute list is further stored in the computing device, the window attribute list records window attributes that the computing device supports drawing, and after the configuration attributes of the window are stored in the window attribute list, the window can be drawn according to the configuration attributes and the configuration attributes can be modified. Specifically, during storage, the feature value of the first configuration attribute is stored in the window attribute list, that is, the configuration attribute is stored in the window attribute list.

Generating a second configuration attribute of the window to be drawn by the application according to the background parameter of the first desktop background and the first configuration attribute comprises the following steps: and judging whether the characteristic value of the first configuration attribute exists in the window attribute list, if so, adding the background parameter of the first desktop background to the first configuration attribute to generate a second configuration attribute.

And if the characteristic value of the first configuration attribute does not exist in the window attribute list, the first configuration attribute cannot be modified, the first configuration attribute of the application is obtained again, and the first configuration attribute is stored in the window attribute list.

According to one embodiment of the invention, after the second configuration attribute is generated, the second configuration attribute is stored in the internal memory. The second configuration attribute is stored in the internal memory, so that the configuration attribute of the window to be drawn can be directly obtained from the memory when the window of the application is drawn, the configuration attribute does not need to be obtained from the application every time, and the speed of drawing the window of the application is improved.

Furthermore, when the parameters of the desktop are modified or the window is changed, for example, when the desktop background of the desktop is changed or the size of the window is changed, the configuration attributes can be directly obtained from the internal memory, the configuration attributes are modified, and the desktop background is redrawn according to the modified configuration attributes, so that the drawn window is redrawn quickly, and the window is modified.

Finally, step S330 is executed, a first desktop background is obtained according to the second configuration attribute, and a first window of the application is drawn on the desktop. The second configuration attribute may be retrieved from the internal memory when the second configuration attribute is needed.

If each first window parameter in the second configuration attribute is valid, then the first desktop background is obtained according to the second configuration attribute, specifically, the first window can be drawn by the operating system according to the permission attribute, and then the storage position of the first desktop background in the external memory is determined according to the background attribute.

The first desktop background is then retrieved from the external memory according to the storage location. When a first window of an application is drawn according to a first desktop background and a plurality of first window parameters, the size of the window background of the first window is determined according to the first window parameters, specifically according to a scaling attribute, a filling attribute and a size attribute, and when the first desktop background is determined to be used as the window background of the first window, the processing mode of the first desktop background is required, including the scaling mode, the filling mode and the size of the window background obtained by processing.

And finally, drawing the first window of the application according to the size of the window background of the first window and the background of the first desktop. Specifically, adding a preset texture to the first desktop background, and drawing the first desktop background added with the texture into a window background of a first window according to the size of the window background; and then, drawing a plurality of components required to be displayed by the first window based on the window background of the first window to obtain the first window. When the window background is drawn, a preset texture needs to be added to the desktop background serving as the window background. The preset texture is a special style rule added to the window background, and can be preset. The preset texture can be modified, and after modification, the first window needs to be drawn again according to the modified preset texture.

The invention does not limit the drawing position of the first window, and if the first window needs to be drawn on other desktops, the first window can be drawn by newly building other desktops or on other existing desktops.
