FIG. 2 illustrates a flow diagram of a window processing method 200 according to one embodiment of the invention, the method 200 being suitable for execution in a window manager of a computing device (e.g., the computing device 100 shown in FIG. 1) having one or more applications running therein. As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 begins at step S210.
In step S210, in response to an operation to open a transparency setting function of a window of a target application of the one or more applications, an operation to change transparency of the window is listened to. The operation of opening the transparency setting function of the window of the target application in the one or more applications may include a trigger operation of a transparency interface in the window of the target application. Further, the transparent interface may be called up by right-clicking on the title bar of the window of the target application. In this way, the step is to monitor the operation of changing the transparency of the window in response to the triggering operation of the transparency interface in the right-click menu of the title bar of the window of the target application.
The transparency interface may be embodied as a transparency option. That is, a transparency option is added to the right-click menu in the title bar of the window, as shown in FIG. 3. Thus, when the user clicks on the transparency option in the right-click menu of the title bar of the window of the target application, the window manager listens for an operation to change the transparency of the window of the target application.
It should be noted that the transparency option is set in the right-click menu of the window title bar, so the window manager needs to know the position of the title bar of the window of each application running in the computing device. In this regard, it is first explained that the window manager is responsible for managing the drawing, position, size, and movement of the windows of all applications, so the window manager can clearly know the position of the window of each application running in the computing device.
It is clear that if the title bar of a window of an application is also drawn by the window manager, the window manager can know the position of the tab bar of the window of the application. And the title bar for the window of the application, which can be drawn either by the window manager or by the application itself. That is, the title bar of a window of any application running in the computing device is either drawn by the system or is self-drawn by the application. It has been pointed out above that for applications whose title bar is drawn by the system, the window manager can clearly know the position of the tab bar of its window, and thus the window manager can know the position of the title bar of the window of each application running in the computing device as long as it is ensured that the window manager can also know the position of the tab bar of the window of the application from which the title bar is drawn.
Based on this, when the tab bar of the window of several applications in the one or more applications is drawn by the corresponding application, the size of the tab bar of the window can be sent to the window manager by the several applications, so that the window manager can clearly know the position of the tab bar of the window of the several applications. Specifically, when there are several applications in the self-drawing window title bar in the one or more applications running in the computing device, the height and width of the tab bar of the window are sent to the window manager by the several applications at initialization time, so that the window manager can clearly know the positions of the title bars of the windows of the applications running in the computing device. Further, with respect to applications that are self-drawing title bars, it may be possible to make the window manager know the location of the tab bar of its window by sending a protocol to the system at initialization. For example, a clientmessage message may be sent to the system with parameters of the height and width of the title bar.
As an example, there are A, B, C applications running in the computing device, the title bar of the windows for applications a and B being drawn by the system, and the title bar of the window for application C being self-drawn by application C. As can be seen, the title bar of the window of application C in the above three applications is drawn by the application itself, so that the application C needs to send a clientmessage to the system when it is initialized, and the specific parameters are the height and width of the title bar of the window, so that the window manager can clearly know the positions of the tab bars of the windows of the three applications A, B, C.
With respect to the title bar, it is generally located at the topmost portion of the window, and thus the title bar area generally refers to the topmost area of the application window. Specifically, the title bar area generally contains the application name, file name, and control buttons (e.g., minimize/maximize button, close button, etc.), as shown in FIG. 4. In some embodiments, the title bar area may also include a program icon. The above description of the title bar is for most applications, not all. In some embodiments, the title bar may also be located elsewhere in the window. For example, in mechanical drawing, a title field is located in the lower right corner of a window, displaying information related to a drawing.
It should be noted that, the foregoing is only an example of the call-out of the transparency interface, and other ways, such as call-out by triggering a predetermined shortcut key, may also be adopted, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Also, regarding the operation of opening the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, the above implementation by triggering the transparency interface is only an example, and in some embodiments, the implementation may also be implemented as an operation of triggering a predetermined shortcut key while placing a mouse in the title bar, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In the specific embodiment, the person skilled in the art can set the setting according to the actual needs.
In addition, considering that the user only performs the operation of opening the transparency setting function on the window of an application when the user needs to adjust the transparency of the window, after the user performs the operation of opening the transparency setting function on the window of an application, the user indicates that the user needs to adjust the transparency of the window, and based on this, the transparency of the window of the application can be preferably modified to a preset value. That is, in response to an operation of opening the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, the transparency of the window is modified to a preset value. Preferably, the preset value may be 50%. In this case, after the user performs an operation of opening the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, the window manager adjusts the transparency of the window to 50%.
After the user starts the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the current transparency of the window may also be displayed on the screen of the computing device, so that the user can know the transparency value of the window at this moment. In particular, the window's current transparency value may be displayed in the form of a floating frame in the upper right corner of the screen of the computing device, as in FIG. 5. Of course, this is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited with respect to the display position and manner of window transparency.
Further, after the user starts the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, a prompt can be set to remind the user that the window transparency setting function is started. Preferably, the user may be prompted by a mouse cursor. Specifically, after the user opens the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, the style of the mouse cursor is switched to a predetermined style. Wherein the predetermined pattern may be a double-headed arrow pattern, as shown in fig. 5.
It can be seen that, when the user starts the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, the window manager adjusts the transparency of the window to 50%, switches the style of the mouse cursor to a predetermined style, displays the current transparency of the window on the screen, and starts to monitor the operation of changing the transparency of the window.
After the operation of changing the transparency of the window is monitored, the process proceeds to step S220 to adjust the transparency of the window in response to the operation of changing the transparency of the window being monitored. Among them, in order to facilitate the user to adjust the transparency of the window, the operation of changing the transparency of the window may be preferably set to the operation of sliding the mouse wheel. That is, the user can adjust the transparency of the window by sliding the mouse wheel.
Next, a process of adjusting the transparency of the window will be explained. First, an operation of changing the transparency of the window is determined as an operation of increasing the transparency or an operation of decreasing the transparency according to the sliding direction of the mouse wheel. That is, it is determined whether the operation of changing the transparency of the window is the transparency increasing operation or the transparency decreasing operation according to the sliding direction of the mouse wheel. And if the operation of changing the transparency of the window is the operation of increasing the transparency, increasing the transparency of the window. If the operation of changing the transparency of the window is a transparency reducing operation, the transparency of the window is reduced.
Specifically, in some embodiments, when the sliding direction of the mouse wheel is upward sliding (i.e., when the user slides the mouse wheel upward), the operation of changing the transparency of the window (i.e., the operation of sliding the mouse wheel) is determined to be an operation of increasing the transparency, thereby increasing the transparency of the window. When the sliding direction of the mouse wheel is downward sliding (i.e. when the user slides the mouse wheel downward), the operation of changing the transparency of the window (i.e. the operation of sliding the mouse wheel) is determined to be the operation of reducing the transparency, and further the transparency of the window is reduced. Of course, in some other embodiments, the transparency of the window may be decreased when the user slides the mouse wheel upwards, and the transparency of the window may be increased when the user slides the mouse wheel downwards, which is not limited in this disclosure.
Further, when the transparency of the window is increased or decreased, the transparency of the window may be gradually increased or decreased as the mouse wheel slides. The method comprises the following specific steps:
when the transparency of the window is increased as the mouse wheel slides, the transparency of the window is increased by a first predetermined value every time the mouse wheel is monitored to slide by a predetermined distance, and the increase of the transparency of the window is stopped in response to the increase of the transparency of the window to a second predetermined value (i.e., a value to which the transparency of the window can be maximally increased, which is set by a user).
Specifically, every time the mouse wheel is monitored to slide for a preset distance, the transparency value of the window at the moment is added to the first preset value, and the value obtained by adding is compared with the second preset value. If the value obtained by adding is less than the second predetermined value, which indicates that the transparency value of the window after increasing the transparency of the window is still less than the value to which the transparency of the window set by the user can be increased at the maximum, then the transparency of the window is increased by the first predetermined value (i.e., the transparency value of the window is increased to the value obtained by adding). And if the value obtained by the addition is larger than or equal to the second preset value, the transparency value of the window is equal to or larger than the value to which the transparency of the window can be increased maximally, which is set by a user, so as to avoid increasing the transparency value of the window to exceed the set maximum transparency value, and then the transparency value of the window is directly increased to the second preset value, and the increase of the transparency of the window is stopped.
Similarly, when the transparency of the window is reduced along with the sliding of the mouse wheel, the transparency of the window is reduced by a first predetermined value every time the sliding of the mouse wheel is monitored for a predetermined distance, and the reduction of the transparency of the window is stopped in response to the reduction of the transparency of the window to a third predetermined value (i.e., a value to which the transparency of the window set by the user can be reduced to the maximum).
Specifically, every time the mouse wheel is monitored to slide for a preset distance, the transparency value of the window at the moment is subtracted from the first preset value, and the value obtained by subtraction is compared with a third preset value. If the value obtained by subtracting is larger than the third predetermined value, which indicates that the transparency of the window is reduced, the transparency value of the window is still larger than the value to which the transparency of the window set by the user can be reduced to the maximum, and then the transparency of the window is reduced by the first predetermined value (that is, the transparency value of the window is reduced to the value obtained by subtracting). And if the value obtained by subtracting is less than or equal to the third preset value, the transparency value of the window is equal to or less than the value to which the maximum transparency of the window set by a user can be reduced after the transparency of the window is reduced, in order to avoid reducing the transparency value of the window to be less than the set minimum transparency value, the transparency value of the window is directly reduced to the third preset value, and the reduction of the transparency of the window is stopped.
The transparency of the window is increased or decreased along with the sliding of the mouse wheel, which can be realized by a synthesizer of the window manager. Specifically, the transparency of the composite image on the window in front of the screen is modified by the compositor of the window manager as the transparency of the window is increased or decreased. In addition, in the process of increasing or decreasing the transparency of the window, the transparency value of the window displayed on the screen of the computing device can be updated, so that the user can accurately know the transparency value of the window at each moment. Specifically, the transparency value of the window is updated once every time the transparency of the window is increased by a first predetermined value. The transparency value of the window is updated each time the transparency of the window is decreased by a first predetermined value.
For the first predetermined value, the second predetermined value and the third predetermined value, according to an embodiment of the present invention, they may be set to 5%, 100% and 10%, respectively (other values are also possible, which is only one example here). This is so that the transparency of the window is increased or decreased by 5% each time the mouse wheel is monitored to slide a predetermined distance, and the transparency of the window can be increased to 100% at maximum (i.e., completely opaque) and decreased to 10% at minimum. Specifically, in the process of increasing the transparency of the window, the transparency of the window is increased by 5% every time the mouse wheel is monitored to slide a predetermined distance, and the increase of the transparency of the window is stopped when the transparency of the window is increased to 100%. Of course, if the user stops sliding the mouse wheel when the transparency of the window has not been increased to 100%, the increase of the transparency of the window is also stopped. And in the process of reducing the transparency of the window, reducing the transparency of the window by 5% for each monitoring of the sliding of the mouse wheel by a preset distance, and stopping reducing the transparency of the window when the transparency of the window is reduced to 10%. Similarly, if the user stops sliding the mouse wheel when the transparency of the window has not been reduced to 10%, the reduction of the transparency of the window is also stopped.
In addition, an operation of closing the transparency setting function may be set, so that the user may close the transparency setting function by performing the operation. Moreover, after the user performs the operation of closing the transparency setting function, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mouse cursor may be switched from the predetermined style to the default style thereof, for example, the single arrow style, and further, the transparency floating frame displayed on the screen of the computing device may be hidden. That is, after the operation of closing the transparency setting function of the window of the target application is monitored, the transparency floating frame displayed on the screen of the computing device is hidden in response to the operation of closing the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, and the mouse cursor in the window is switched from the preset style to the default style.
The operation of closing the transparency setting function may be triggering a predetermined key of the mouse, for example, a left key of the mouse. Thus, if the user clicks the left button of the mouse with the transparency setting function already turned on, the transparency setting function is turned off, the transparency floating frame displayed on the screen of the computing device is hidden, and the mouse cursor in the window is switched from the predetermined style to the default style. Of course, the operation of turning off the transparency setting function may also be other operations, such as triggering the right mouse button, and the like, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
In addition, several points are also described herein. First, the predetermined distance for adjusting the transparency of the window once every time the mouse wheel is monitored to slide by the predetermined distance is set by the kernel of the operating system based on the operation of sliding the mouse wheel. The method for setting the predetermined distance by the kernel of the operating system based on the operation of the sliding mouse wheel is the prior art, and is not described herein again, but is within the protection scope of the present invention. Secondly, when modifying the transparency of the window of the target application, if multiple tabs exist in the window of the target application (i.e. multiple tab pages are opened in the target application by the user), the transparency of the multiple tabs in the window should be modified accordingly. Again, with respect to the operation of changing the transparency of the window, it has been pointed out that the operation of setting the window as a sliding mouse wheel is convenient for the user to adjust the transparency of the window, so that the operation can also be implemented as other operations, such as triggering a predetermined transparency value option in a transparency menu or inputting a transparency value in a custom transparency input box of the transparency menu, and with respect to the transparency menu (which should include at least several predetermined transparency values and one custom transparency input box), the window can be presented on the screen of the computing device after the user performs the operation of turning on the transparency setting function. The operation of changing the transparency of the window is not illustrated here. In the specific embodiment, the person skilled in the art can set the setting according to the actual needs. Finally, the invention does not limit the type of window. That is, the window of the present invention may be any type of window, such as a window of an office type program, a window of an instant messaging type program, a window of a multimedia play type program, and the like.
Therefore, based on the window processing method, a user can adjust the transparency of any window. Therefore, when a plurality of application windows need to be displayed on the screen of the computing device at the same time, the user can display all the windows on the current screen and enable the target windows controlled by the windows to occupy enough screen space by adjusting the transparency of the windows. For example, when a user needs to edit the content of a certain window and monitor the data in the certain window, the user may place the window whose content needs to be edited on the upper layer and place the window whose data needs to be monitored on the bottom layer, and then set a certain transparency for the upper layer window (i.e., the window whose content needs to be edited by the user) so that the upper layer window does not block the bottom layer window (i.e., the window whose data needs to be monitored by the user). Of course, the user may also place the window whose content needs to be edited on the bottom layer, place the window whose data needs to be monitored on the upper layer, and then set a certain transparency for the upper layer window (i.e., the window whose data needs to be monitored by the user) so that the upper layer window does not block the bottom layer window (i.e., the window whose content needs to be edited by the user). In any method, the upper and lower windows can be displayed on the current screen, and the window edited by the user can occupy any screen space, as shown in fig. 6, so that the office efficiency of the user can be improved.
The window processing method of the above embodiment is executed in a window manager of a computing device. Next, the present invention provides a window processing method executed in an application of a computing device.
FIG. 7 illustrates a flow diagram of a window processing method 700 according to yet another embodiment of the invention, the method 700 being suitable for execution in an application of a computing device (e.g., the computing device 100 shown in FIG. 1). As shown in fig. 7, the method 700 begins at step S710.
In step S710, in response to an operation of opening a transparency setting function of a window of an application, an operation of changing a transparency of the window of the application is listened.
The monitoring of the transparency operation of the window of the change target application in the present embodiment is similar to the monitoring of the transparency operation of the window of the change target application in step S210 in the above-mentioned method 200, and is only different in the execution subject (the application itself in the present embodiment, and the window manager in the method 200). Therefore, the method for monitoring the operation of changing the transparency of the window of the application in this embodiment is not described herein again, and reference may be made to the above description of step S210 for relevant points. In addition, the operation of opening the transparency setting function of the window of the application in this embodiment is the same as the operation of opening the transparency setting function of the window of the target application in step S210 in the method 200, and is not repeated here, please refer to the above description. It should be noted that, when the operation of starting the transparency setting function of the window of the application is a trigger operation on the transparency interface in the right-click menu of the title bar of the window of the application, the embodiment is applicable to the application of the self-drawing title bar.
Step S720 is then entered, and in response to the operation of changing the transparency of the window of the application being monitored, an adjustment request for adjusting the transparency of the window of the application is sent to a window manager of the computing device, so that the window manager adjusts the transparency of the window of the application based on the adjustment request.
Wherein the application may send an adjustment request to adjust the transparency of the window to the window manager in a manner of sending a protocol message. Specifically, the adjustment request includes a sliding direction of the mouse wheel, so that the window manager determines whether the operation of the user is an operation of increasing the transparency of the window or an operation of decreasing the transparency of the window according to the sliding direction of the mouse wheel. The adjustment request also includes a sliding distance (i.e., a scroll dimension) of the mouse wheel, such that the window manager makes a corresponding adjustment to the transparency of the window based on the sliding distance of the mouse wheel. For the method for adjusting the transparency of the window based on the adjustment request by the window manager in this embodiment, details are not repeated here, and it is similar to or the same as the method for adjusting the transparency of the window of the target application in response to the operation of monitoring to change the transparency of the window of the target application mentioned in step S220 in the above method 200, and for relevant points, reference may be made to the above description of step S220.
In addition, several points are explained here. First, when the application detects an operation of a user to open a window transparency setting function (such as a triggering operation of a transparency interface in a right-click menu of a title bar of a window by the user), the application sends an opening request for opening the transparency setting function to the window manager, so that the window manager displays a current transparency value of the window on a screen of the computing device and switches a style of a mouse cursor to a predetermined style based on the opening request, and further, the window manager can adjust the transparency of the window to 50% based on the opening request. Second, when the application detects an operation of closing its window transparency setting function by the user (e.g., a click operation of the left mouse button by the user), the application sends a close request to close the window transparency setting function to the window manager, so that the window manager hides the transparency floating frame displayed on the screen of the computing device based on the close request, and switches the mouse cursor in the window from a predetermined style to its default style. Finally, when the application detects that the user stops changing the transparency of the window (e.g., stops sliding the mouse wheel), the application sends a stop request to the window manager to stop adjusting the transparency of the window, so that the window manager stops adjusting the transparency of the application window based on the stop request. For specific details of the window processing method of this embodiment, reference may be made to the description based on fig. 1 to fig. 6, which is not repeated herein.
According to the window processing method of the present invention, in response to an operation of opening the transparency setting function of the window of the target application, an operation of changing the transparency of the window of the target application is monitored. Adjusting the transparency of the window of the target application in response to listening for an operation that changes the transparency of the window of the target application. Therefore, the invention provides the function of adjusting the transparency of the window, so that a user can adjust the transparency of any window. Therefore, when a plurality of application windows need to be displayed on the screen of the computing device at the same time, a user can display all the windows on the current screen by adjusting the transparency of the windows, and the target windows controlled by the windows can occupy enough screen space, so that the user experience can be improved.
Moreover, based on the window processing method provided by the invention, the user can adjust the transparency of the application window by sliding the mouse wheel, so that the method is convenient and quick, and the user experience is further improved. In addition, the window processing method can be realized in a window manager, so that the transparency of any window of the application in the computing equipment can be adjusted.
