The experiment with avoiding ellipsization was a definite failure;
several translations have very long names, and we'd end up
with a single column.
Also fix extra padding; we only want some space at the top, not
left/right.
Rename DocsWidget to RecentDocsWidget (as widgets for most used docs,
docs related to the currently open documents, etc. may be added in the
future), and change the title so that it doesn't abbreviate 'Docs' (for
consistency with the overlay).
Corresponding with the design, if an application is in a running
state (has > 0 windows open), draw a glow behind the name.
To make the display look a bit nicer, set the width of each item
to be equal to the longest word among all the items.
Make dash background darker so that the blue color used for indicating
running apps can be visible. Use the dark blue (almost black) color from
Jeremy's mockup.
Make the dash height be the full screen height minus the height of the panel.
Don't use padding on top or on the bottom.
Remove the border from the main dash, but leave it for the results and details
panes. Make the border slightly transparent.
Make sure the details pane is correctly positioned by not applying the
additional padding when determining its x position.
Timeout callback function should not be rescheduled again with the same timeout
because we compute a new timeout and schedule it again instead. So the callback
function needs to return false to not be scheduled again by default.
Make sure that we calculate the next update time correctly.
Store timeout time instead of the timeout delta, so that it doesn't get outdated.
Create a new callback when the time update happens for the original callback.
Make sure last visited time is updated in the details pane by keeping track
of the description actors created for the detail actors.
Add comments to the new functions.
Avoid depending on gdb for replacing an existing panel, since it
requires debuginfo and gdb installed.
Instead we grab the org.gnome.Panel DBus name, using DBus name
replacement semantics.
Extend ShellTextureCache by adding the concept of a policy, which
we expose to the public API for loading URIs.
This lets us have the shell tell the cache to keep the information
icon texture around forever.
Secondly, fix the caching of recent info; we shouldn't always be
loading the backup pixbuf. Move recent info loading entirely
into ShellTextureCache.
The semi-transparent gradient on the panel is replaced by a
solid black background. The shadow below the panel is removed.
The clock is put at the center instead of the right side of
the panel and has the date removed. The user icon is hidden.
Instead of boldface, a regular font is used. Padding is added
on each side and between panel elements.
button.js: Allow for custom text colors and fonts.
panel.js: Change the panel colors and layout, remove the shadow.
GenericDisplay wasn't quite completely converted to the ShellOverflowList
model. Since the list now holds all actors, the indexing/wrapping
was incorrect.
Add a property which lets us keep track of how many items are displayed,
use this in genericDisplay.
Avoid setting selectedIndex to -2 when going up with no items.
If we're not displaying any results at all, don't attempt keynav (for now).
Make the ClutterText and ClutterTexture from the status menu
button available to JavaScript, and from there improve the
font definition of the user name.
shell-status-menu.[ch]: Add public get_name() and get_icon()
functions that return the user name label and icon
texture, remove the markup from update_name_text().
panel.js: Set the font for the button consistently with that
of the other panel labels.
Move thumbnail creation into ShellTextureCache. It's now asynchronous,
and we cache the result.
Create a DocManager class which keeps around the DocInfo objects between
invocations. This is also where we ensure we remove thumbnails for
recent items not known anymore.
Before, we looked up application data in several ways; the ShellAppSystem
exported just application ids (though it parsed the .desktop files internally),
and we'd create a Gio.DesktopAppInfo object (reparsing the desktop file again),
wrapping that inside a JavaScript AppInfo class, and finally the AppDisplay
would again parse the .desktop file to get the categories.
Also, to look up applications by id previously, we traversed the entire
menu structure each time.
Some qualities such as the NoDisplay flag were not easily exposed in the old
system. And if we wanted to expose them we'd have to change several different
application information wrapper classes.
All in all, it was quite suboptimal.
The theme of this new code is basically "just use libgnome-menus". We do
not call into Gio for app lookups anymore. The new Shell.AppInfo class
is a disguised pointer for the GMenuTreeEntry item.
To fix the caching, we keep a simple hash table of desktop id -> ShellAppInfo.
Rework the previously extant Application category code to display
in the expanded list. Add a "Frequent" category which corresponds
to the most_used_apps, and selected by default.
Instead of adding the background and shadow as expanded items to
the results/details panes as fixed, we slave the background/shadow
sizes to the results using notify::allocation.
Also clean up the code for sizing the details pane, using a common
function which adjusts its x position in one place.
ShellDrawingArea is a size-independent wrapper for a ClutterCairoTexture.
Useful when drawing non-fixed size areas.
ShellStack is a simple container class which holds items
in a completely overlapping Z stack. The main difference
from ClutterGroup is that items will be constrained to
(and allocated) the size of the stack, not getting their
preferred size always.
Although methods like gconf_client_get/set_bool() and such are usable
from gjs, get_list/set_list is not, since there's only one method for
all list types. So ShellGConf wraps GConfClient and adds separate
typed list methods.
Also, add a detailed "changed" signal that can easily be connected to
from js, since we can't currently use gconf_client_notify_add()
directly.
The split between this.actor and this.nonOverlayActor in chrome.js is
annoying, but aside from actually subclassing ClutterGroup (which
would have to be done from C), all of the other possibilities are
annoying too.
Add a new icon button in button.js that fades in/out with a short delay when the mouse enters/leaves its parent. Use it for the information button of genericDisplay.
This converts GenericDisplay to totally dynamic layout, where
we display as many items as we can, and the rest cleanly overflow
into pages.
For now, remove multi-column; to readd this, we can pack multiple
display items into a single ShellOverflowList item.
Searching across NoDisplay desktop items can produce weird
results to the user (including duplicates, and items that
aren't really applications at all.) So, don't include them
normally.
But continue including NoDisplay items when we look up the
desktop file for a window, since we want to catch applications
like Evince and Nautilus which are otherwise NoDisplay.
