Barebones X11 Smooth Resizing

This example illustrates how you can use the X11 XSync extension (not to be confused with XSync()) to achieve smooth interactive resizing on the majority of X environments, assuming your program can redraw fast enough.

DISCLAIMER: This example shows only the basic usage of XSync using a single counter, which is the bare minimum required to support smooth resizing.

Basic Rundown:

1. Indicate that your client is willing to receive sync requests:

• Add _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST to your window's WM_PROTOCOLS.
