Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

Overview

When this hint is set, libdecor will be used to provide window decorations, even if xdg-decoration is available. (Note that, by default, libdecor will use xdg-decoration itself if available).

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": libdecor is enabled only if server-side decorations are unavailable.
(default)

• "1": libdecor is always enabled if available.

This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.

Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.

From libsdl3-doc 3.2.10+ds-1 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
