Thanks for the reply! Well, turns out this is for an embedded device: a device in which a user could plug a monitor and get either the screen mirrored or a new window with some more content :-/ So basically I should try to make the Weston IVI shell work, at least for the moment. I'm talking about IVI here because one can position the window programmatically, not because of cars :-) If you ever get to try to implement it, ping me and I'll test it ;-) -- Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer https://perezmeyer.com.ar/ _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
