§Wayland

Note: Windows don’t appear on Wayland until you draw/present to them.

By default, Winit loads system libraries using dlopen. This can be disabled by disabling the "wayland-dlopen" cargo feature.

Winit provides client-side decorations by default, but the behaviour can be controlled with the following feature flags:

Anchor
ClientBuffer: One buffer: destroyed when dropped.
ImeContentType: A field’s zwp_text_input_v3 content type: the content_hint bits and the content_purpose value, as the protocol defines them. Unknown hint bits are dropped and an unknown purpose is sent as normal.
LayerSurfaceAttributes: A window that places itself on a layer of an output instead of being a toplevel the desktop places.

ClientBufferSource: Where a buffer’s single plane is.
DragData: What one mime type of an outgoing drag carries.
KeyboardInteractivity: How a surface takes the keyboard: not at all, when the pointer is over it, or all of it.
Layer: The layer a surface is placed on. Higher layers are drawn over the windows, and over the lower layers.
Theme: The theme variant to use.
WaylandPresentation: Outcome of the exact surface commit observed through wp_presentation. Times use the clock advertised by the compositor, never callback receipt time.

ActiveEventLoopExtWayland: Additional methods on ActiveEventLoop that are specific to Wayland.
EventLoopBuilderExtWayland: Additional methods on EventLoopBuilder that are specific to Wayland.
EventLoopExtWayland: Additional methods on EventLoop that are specific to Wayland.
KeyEventExtWayland: Content-free identity of a key delivered by the Wayland compositor. The timestamp is the protocol’s wrapping millisecond clock, not an assumed Unix/monotonic epoch. Repeats and synthesized keys have no stamp.
MonitorHandleExtWayland: Additional methods on MonitorHandle that are specific to Wayland.
WindowAttributesExtWayland: Additional methods on WindowAttributes that are specific to Wayland.
WindowExtWayland: Additional methods on Window that are specific to Wayland.

delivered_input_serial: The compositor’s serial of the newest input event (a key, a pointer button, a touch going down or up) this process’s event loop has handed the application, or that it dropped for having no window: every input the compositor sent before it has been handed over too. Input that reaches the application by another way (a desktop’s bar telling it a button of its own was pressed) names the serial it came after, and waits until this one reaches it. None until the first.

WaylandPresentationObserver: One-shot observation of the next surface commit. No pixels or input text.
