Utility Window implementation.

[gresm]

Adds pygame.window.Window(utility=True) which makes the window not appear in the taskbar (+pygame.window.Window.utility to get if this option is enabled for the window).
Note: SDL might not support this for all platforms (macOS?).

Nipicks and versionadded aside, I'd be happy to see this in. A week ago I actually needed this feature and ended up using ctypes to achieve it, it's like you read my mind.

Since SDL3 uses SDL_WINDOW_SKIP_TASKBAR as the flag, is it better to use skip_taskbar instead of utility as the name of the argument?
I think skip_taskbar is more clear than utility

I love the way you're thinking but I think it's the other way around. SDL3 is utility, SDL2 is skip taskbar.

@yunline @Starbuck5 So, what's the decision?

So, what's the decision?

I wasn't asked, but I think it's best to follow sdl3. plus, utility is a bit more generic leaving "freedom of conceptual behaviour" to the OS. it just means the window is an utility, which usually results in no taskbar, but the OS can decide what utility means. I vote for utility. Btw you forgot to run py dev.py all

I also vote for leaving it as utility for reasons damus already mentioned, and also the fact that it the name SDL3 picked. Some setups don't have the taskbar at all, and SDL may still do something differently if utility is passed.

[yunline]

So, what's the decision?

SDL docs said: "window should be treated as a utility window, not showing in the task bar and window list".

From the docs we can see "utility window" is a broader concept than "skip taskbar window". They are not the same.

Some window environments don't have a task bar, they use window list

Some window environments use dock

Although "skip_task_bar" could be more clear for Windows users, "utility" is more universal on all platforms.

So I vote for "utility".

[gresm]

Then it's utility.

[ankith26]

Normally I would complain about adding new API that isn't cross platform, but in the case of Window I guess we already have enough API that isn't cross platform so it shouldn't be out of place.

Thanks for the PR! 🎉
