NAME¶

SDL_GetDisplayUsableBounds - Get the usable desktop area represented by a display, in screen coordinates.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

int SDL_GetDisplayUsableBounds(SDL_DisplayID displayID, SDL_Rect *rect);

DESCRIPTION¶

This is the same area as SDL_GetDisplayBounds () reports, but with portions reserved by the system removed. For example, on Apple's macOS, this subtracts the area occupied by the menu bar and dock.

Setting a window to be fullscreen generally bypasses these unusable areas, so these are good guidelines for the maximum space available to a non-fullscreen window.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

displayID

the instance ID of the display to query

rect

the SDL_Rect
structure filled in with the display bounds

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
