Hi, Thanks for your reply.:) Of course we are developing tablet-shell, keeping some wl_shell interface is just to let toolkits application to run well. Once wl_shell is modified, we will change these parts, as I said. We do hope to differciate tablet-shell than desktop-shell. When it is necessary, tablet_shell interfaces will be added. > > Or put in other words, are you developing a window manager for tablets > running desktop applications, or are you aiming for a completely > different kind of user interface paradigms that fit tablets well? I don't agree that tablet-shell should refuse all current desktop applications. If so, we would not have applications running on tablet shell. And I believe, once wl_shell was settled down, this concern would be resolved. > Note, that these goals are conflicting from the client and user > perspective.

Not at all, because for the client who don't response the request, it will add a black surface under it.
