Screen window types

Types of windows that can be created

Synopsis:

#include <screen/screen.h>

enum {
    SCREEN_APPLICATION_WINDOW = 0,
    SCREEN_CHILD_WINDOW = 1,
    SCREEN_EMBEDDED_WINDOW = 2,
    SCREEN_ROOT_WINDOW = 4
};

SCREEN_APPLICATION_WINDOW: The window type that's used to display the main application.; Its x and y coordinates are always relative to the dimensions of the display.
SCREEN_CHILD_WINDOW: The window type that's commonly used to display a dialog.; You must add a child window to an application's window group; otherwise, the child window is invisible. A child window's display properties are relative to the application window to which it belongs. For example, the x and y coordinates of the child window are all relative to the top left corner of the application window. This window type has its property, SCREEN_PROPERTY_FLOATING, defaulted to indicate that the window is floating.
SCREEN_EMBEDDED_WINDOW: The window type that's used to embed a window control within an object.; Like the child window, the x and y coordinates of the embedded window are all relative to the top left corner of the application window. You must add an embedded window to an application's window group; otherwise, the embedded window is invisible. This window type has its property, SCREEN_PROPERTY_FLOATING, defaulted to indicate that the window is non-floating.
SCREEN_ROOT_WINDOW: The flag that's used to indicate that the window is responsible for consuming the content of all windows in its group.; Screen performs compositing with the root window, but won't composite any window below the root window. This flag must be used in a logical OR expression with one of the Screen window types.
