those atoms are in effect a gamescope-specific protocol that steam games would speak

<kennylevinsen>
So in Wayland, they would be a gamescope-local protocol (or side-channel)
<kennylevinsen>
one does also not simply *toggle HDR*, but would presumably use a different protocol to configure color space, mastering brightness and all the other keywords that the people working on color and HDR use.
<kennylevinsen>
So no - no atoms, and no plans to be a generic key-value store.

DodoGTA, exactly what kennylevinsen said. For a key-value store to be useful, you need both the client and the compositor understanding the same things the same way. That is a definition of a protocol. In Wayland we do that with Wayland extensions, they can also be private if they have no use outside a specific compositor+client combo.
<pq>
DodoGTA, if you actually used a key-value store, then how do you know if the other side understands what you set? You could add even more keys with values to define that, sure. It's just not Wayland style, we have already design patterns for feature discoverability.

swick[m], did you join that call yesterday? Did you see the presentation by Cameron on HDR broadcast vs. desktop, anything new there?
