Hi everyone, I'm trying to work on a PyQt Application that closes applications if a user is focused on them for too long. Right now i have 4 main classes: Settings, GUI, overlay and backend. Settings is just a get/set class. I would like some advice on the order of accessing

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

So basically GUI class is where the main application starts up. You can control some settings (which gets reflected in the settings class), and then 'boot' the overlay up.

#

The overlay periodically runs some functions in backend class to get the current screen applications and whatnot

#

now here is where i am a bit confused

#

assume i have a boolean setting, like a checkbox right

#

should it be like only GUI has access to settings, and then it just calls backend functions

#

or should backend functions have a check by accessing settings

#

if needed i'll post my code

hm so like GUI changes settings, backends does checks based on settings and overlay just needs to call backend functions?

#

that sounds better but means i got to move so much around ;-;
