`WindowControlsSpec` gains `bar_bg`, the background fill of the SSD title-bar strip the close / maximize / minimize controls sit on. Forge used to paint that strip with `palette.surface` clamped to alpha 1.0 — a hack on a translucent panel token. With a dedicated slot the theme decides directly: `@off-white` in light and a new `@window-bar-dark` shade in dark. Schema gets the matching `Option<String>` field (defaulting to `palette.surface` to keep existing themes rendering the same) and the fallback `WindowControlsSpec` seeds `Color::WHITE` so a missing theme still draws something readable.
`try_run`'s dispatch loop previously `.expect("dispatch")`-ed every calloop error. When the compositor closes the wayland socket — `wl_display.error`, forge crashing, the user logging out — the loop saw a `BrokenPipe` / `ConnectionReset` and panicked, which polluted the user's stderr with a backtrace for what is just "the session ended". The match now treats those two `IoError` kinds as a clean shutdown: it prints `Connection::protocol_error()` (the typed `wl_display.error` if the server sent one), sets `exit_requested = true`, and lets the loop drain out normally. Any other dispatch error keeps panicking — those are still genuine bugs.
Adds an `App` callback that delivers the live list of open toplevels from the compositor — the data source a shell needs for dock running-app indicators, taskbar tiles, alt-tab and any other "what is currently running" UI. Hand-wiring the protocol binding from every shell that wants it is the kind of boilerplate ltk should absorb once: this is that move.
`Cargo.toml` adds `"staging"` to `wayland-protocols`' feature list. SCTK 0.20 already pulls staging in transitively (it carries `foreign_toplevel_list.rs` and its own dispatch helper), so this is belt-and-braces against a future ltk tree that swaps SCTK for a different client toolkit — it keeps the protocol available crate-wide even then. `src/app.rs` introduces `ToplevelEvent { Opened { id: u32, app_id: String }, Closed { id: u32 } }` and `App::on_toplevel_event( &self, ToplevelEvent ) -> Option<Self::Message>` with the default returning `None` so apps that do not care pay nothing (no allocation, no dispatch). `id` is the Wayland protocol id of the handle proxy — unique per session, stable for the handle's lifetime, the same value paired across `Opened` and `Closed`. `src/lib.rs` re-exports `ToplevelEvent` from the public prelude.
`src/event_loop/app_data.rs` grows a `pub foreign_toplevel_list: ForeignToplevelList` field. `src/event_loop/mod.rs` constructs it via `ForeignToplevelList::new( &globals, &qh )` and stores it on `AppData`. If the compositor does not advertise the global the inner `GlobalProxy` just resolves to "absent" and the list yields no toplevels — no error path needed at construction. `src/event_loop/handlers.rs` adds the `Proxy` import, `delegate_foreign_toplevel_list!( @<A: App> AppData<A> )` next to the rest, and implements `ForeignToplevelListHandler` for `AppData<A>`. The three SCTK callbacks (`new_toplevel`, `update_toplevel`, `toplevel_closed`) each pull the handle's protocol id and its currently-cached `app_id` from the list's info cache, call `self.app.on_toplevel_event( … )`, and push the returned message onto `pending_msgs` so it flows through the normal `update` cycle with the regular `invalidate_after` scoping path. `update_toplevel` re-emits `Opened` with the latest info — compositors fire this on title changes too, not just `app_id` changes, but apps whose state is keyed on `(id, app_id)` can absorb the repeat idempotently and apps that need title-change granularity can scope via `invalidate_after`.
The wire-up is generic: a shell that wants finer behaviour (focus follow, per-title indicators, multi-window grouping) can layer on top by translating the event into more specific app messages. The default app pays zero, the shell that opts in gets a real event stream without touching `smithay-client-toolkit` directly.
`Container::background` now stores `Option<Paint>` instead of `Option<Color>`, and the builder accepts `impl Into<Paint>` so callers can pass a plain `Color` (auto-wrapped in `Paint::Solid` via the trait impl) or an explicit `LinearGradient` / `RadialGradient`. `layout_and_draw` switches from `canvas.fill_rect( rect, bg, corners )` to `canvas.fill_paint_rect( rect, &bg, corners )` to consume the wider type.
No behaviour change for existing call sites — solid-colour containers keep working unchanged thanks to the `Into<Paint>` for `Color`.
Previously only `set_min_size()` was called with the requested size, on the assumption that the compositor would adopt it as the initial dimension. In practice that doesn't hold: xdg-shell has no "preferred initial size" primitive and compositors are free to pick any size within `[min, max]` on the first configure. The window ended up opening at the 800x600 fallback instead of the size the application had asked for.
The fix pins `min == max` before the first commit, which forces the compositor to honour the requested size in its first configure, and then releases `max_size` from the configure handler via the `pending_size_hint_unpin` latch so the surface remains user-resizable afterwards. The 800x600 fallback now only applies when the application does not provide a hint.
