b59daac6f3 dash: Improve DND to dash and allow reordering
Show a positional indicator where a new favorite will be added and

48fff0e96b Use the old dash code to implement the view selector
The view selector is a tabbed interface with a search entry. Starting
a search switches focus to the results' tab, ending a search moves the
focus back to the previously selected tab. Activating a normal tab
while a search is active cancels the search.

e6bb06a7cc search-display: Move SearchResults to a separate file
With the new layout, search results will be displayed in an independent
view like window previews, applications and possible future additions;
it does not make much sense keeping it with the switching logic, so move
the code to its own file.

Also remove the dash-prefix from the relevant style classes.

3e4f744e56 dash: Reimplement the dash based on AppWell code
The new dash implementation is a single-column vertical sidebar,
whose items are scaled dynamically to fit the available height.
If the height is still exceeded after scaling down to a minimum
item size, excess items are cut off.
The now unused old dash implementation is renamed to OldDash, as
its code will be used as a base for the new view selector element.

703b21cef0 Don't use double quotes for things that don't need to be translated
This is our convention.

The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.

909b5ec43c [StWidget] add list-like methods for style_class and pseudo_class
Since style_class and pseudo_class are space-separated lists of names,
add new methods to add and remove individual names rather than just
re-setting the entire name.

Update existing code to use the new pseudo-class methods where
appropriate. In some cases, this may result in actors having multiple
pseudoclasses where previously they only had one at a time, but there
don't seem to be any visible differences.

(There are some places that could usefully use the new style_class
methods as well, but this patch doesn't change them.)

Also, update test-theme.c to test the new methods.

22bf4c8a93 [Overview] Make menu sizes relative to workspace area
Instead of setting a fixed size in the CSS which only works well
with a limited range of screen resolutions, assign a relative
size in the code.

While this takes away some flexibility from theme authors, it is in
line with most elements in the overview (workspaces area, dash).

Also expose the menu panes vertical alignment, so that more-apps aligns
to the workspaces area's top and more-docs to the bottom.

22948b3d39 Merge St.TextureCache and Shell.TextureCache
Brute force merge these two by essentially replacing St.TextureCache
with a (renamed) Shell.TextureCache.

One function was added for convenience, namely "st_texture_cache_load_file_simple".
St.TextureCache had a function to load a texture from a filename, and it
returned NULL on error but only half the callers actually checked this.  This
function is better.

b7646d18ae Add search.js, rebase search system on top
The high level goal is to separate the concern of searching for
things with display of those things; for example in newer mockups,
applications are displayed exactly the same as they look in the
AppWell.

Another goal was optimizing for speed; for example,
application search was pushed mostly down into C, and we avoid
lowercasing and normalizing every item over and over.

5803aa7e65 Simplify Button class by using ShellButtonBox
Make Button class purely about adding visuals, and use ShellButtonBox
for behavior. API equivalences:

  shell.button => shell.actor [for consistency]

  staysPressed parameter to constructor => replaced by manually setting
   the 'active' property of button.actor as appropriate

  pressIn/release => button.actor.active = true/false

  enter-event/leave-event signals => button.actor notify::hover

Along the way, this fixes a bug with the user status menu where it was
not getting set to active because the button was getting a leave
(triggered by the menu popping up and grabbing the pointer) before for
button release, which disabled the staysPressed behavior.

Display only first page of search results by default for each section and

Display a total results count next to the section name. This serves as an
indicator that there are more results. The section header pre-lights to
indicate that it can be clicked on.

Make sure we go back to the first page of results when we exit a single
section mode. Make sure we re-instate all result sections if the search
mode is left.

Close the only section search mode on Esc, and only close the search
when Esc is hit again.

Also, we don't yet close the browse pane for applications or documents when

details pane, so all that looks weird. We'll need to work out the interaction
for these cases.

ca51a8c926 Add initial calls to Gettext
We don't have a lot of strings, and what ones we do have we've
been avoiding duplication.  This patch adds calls to _() i.e. gettext
for those strings we do have.

059c330d95 Clear _searchTimeoutId when removing search
When we remove the search because the search empty is
entry, we need to reset _searchTimeoutId to 0.

619066780f dash: Clean up search pane creation
There was some weirdness relating to when the search pane is shown
in a timeout, and how that relates to setSearch.  Instead of doing
this in the timeout, just call setSearch() in the timeout.  The
pane hide/show state is directly controlled from the handler.

f00500d3d5 Bug 591246 - Move towards shell-black02 mockup
Remove the last use of passing width into Dash by having the
Pane with the previews scaling dynamically and relying on
Clutter scaling.

If we only have one workspace, don't display a selection frame
for it.

Rework Dash into a searchArea and sectionArea, which get
explicitly sized by overlay.js.  We use the workspaces size
to choose the size of those dash areas.

Switch dash colors/boxes etc. to ones from shell-black02.

Add a gradient to the panel.

Add a magnifier.svg for use in search.

47af454115 Bug 591437 - Rename overlay.js to overview.js
Replace 'overlay' with the more descriptive name 'overview'
where the Activities Overview is meant. Call it Overview
(capitalized) in code comments.

The overlay-group and overlay-key provided by Mutter are not
affected, since they may be used for other components than
the Activities Overview.

26a074588b Bug 591114 - Remove expanded background
The "expanded background" that is behind the workspaces etc. in the overview
should be removed.  It isn't in the designs, it is distracting, and it breaks
the overview metaphor.

At least temporarily, just make the background of the overview black.
Change the pane popup to black as well, but keep a blue border so that
it is visually distinguished from the background.

Based on a patch by Colin Walters, with fixes from  Marina Zhurakhinskaya.

ebd6f4bc8f appDisplay: Reimplement well layout to be width-independent
Use ShellGenericContainer to implement a fully dynamic layout
for the application well.  It's still fixed to 4 columns by default,
but no longer requires a fixed width to be passed in on start.

With another chunk of work, it could likely try to adjust to
the case where we can only fit fewer than 4 items in the well.

Remove the border highlighting on mouseover, since that caused
reallocations, and the grid layout isn't trivial.

Delete the unused shell_global_get_word_with function.

85b4b97b7b Rewrite Dash, remove hardcoded width/height from GenericDisplay
This patch is a near-total rewrite of the Dash.  First, the dash
code moves into a separate file, dash.js.

Inside dash.js, the components are more broken up into separate
classes; in particular there's now a Pane class and a MoreLink
class.  Instead of each section of the dash, when activated,
attempting to close all N-1 other sections, instead there
is the concept of a single "active pane", and when e.g. activating
the More link for documents, if we know there's an active pane
which happens to be the apps, close it.

Many redundant containers were removed from the dash, and all
manual width, height and x/y offsets are entirely gone.  We move
the visual apperance closer to the design by using the view-more.svg,
etc.

To complete the removal of height/width calculations from the dash,
we also had to do the same for GenericDisplay.  Also clean up
the positioning inside overlay.js so calculation of children's
positioning is inside a single function that flows from screen.width
and screen.height, so in the future we can stop passing the width
into the Dash constructor and call this once and work on screen
resizing.
