Animating items of the iconGrid involves calling a few more C functions,
which is quite slow. Especially calling ClutterActor.set_easing_delay()
is slow because we override that function in JS to adjust for the
animation slow-down factor. So add a small class variable to make sure
we only animate the icons of the grid when we actually need it.
This makes the average time spent in vfunc_allocate() of the iconGrid go
down to about 0.7 ms.

It's quite slow to access class variables in JS, especially when they're
backed by GObject properties. To avoid accessing them in every iteration
when we're looping through the children of iconGrid, store those values
to another variable and reuse that inside the loop.
This shaves off another 0.2 ms from iconGrids vfunc_allocate(), getting
the average time spent in that function down from 1.3 ms to 1.1 ms.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1713>
Using a preexisting array to iterate over is much faster than iterating
over the actors children using a "for ... of" loop, that's because the
latter calls into C functions to get the next actor all the time.
Also, stop using array deconstruction here, it turned out that this is
extremely expensive. When profiling this part of the code, it turned out
that only 9% of the time spent in _getChildrenMaxSize() is spent calling
the get_preferred_height/width() methods. When not using array
deconstruction, this time increased to 22%, still not great, but a lot
better.

We need to access the visible children of a page in inside
vfunc_allocate(), and since getting those children is quite slow (it
involves iterating over all the children of the actor) let's avoid that
and cache the array instead.
This reduces average time spent in vfunc_allocate() of the iconGrid from
1.6 ms down to 1.4 ms.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1713>
We call this._getChildrenMaxSize() from the allocate() vfunc of
IconGridLayout. Since the function is quite expensive, it slows the
layout process down a lot, so instead of re-calculating it on every
relayout, cache the max size of children.
This makes the average time spent in vfunc_allocate() of the iconGrid go
down from 2.3 ms to 1.6 ms.

Instead of always aligning window previews vertically at the bottom of
their row, only do that if we have multiple rows. If there's only a
single row of windows, align every window vertically centered.
This is a very small step towards the new layout for window previews in
the overview, but since the release of 40 is getting nearer and nearer,
changing more is not feasible anymore.

To ensure the workspace thumbnails are vertically closer to the window
picker than to the search, scale down the wallpapers by a fixed number
of pixels. Using 24 px for this means we'll take of 12 px at the top and
12 px at the bottom of the wallpaper, that's a better strategy than
always scaling it by a fixed factor since it doesn't change with the
monitor size.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1702>
Use a bit less margin at the top and add some margin at the bottom of
the search entry. This should ensure the search entry is closer to the
panel than to the workspaces and avoid associating the workspace
thumbnails with the search instead of the window picker.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1702>
The Dash currently has a horizontal margin and a top margin applied. The
horizontal margin isn't necessary since there already is a horizontal
padding applied, and the top margin is a bit large, since the
ControlsLayout enforces a spacing between the different containers
already, so slightly decrease the margin-top here.

The back → transparent transition gives it a very bad look when
booting and running the startup animation.
Use the same transition duration hack to ensure that the panel
starts completely transparent.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1678>
There's this little hack that we do to match the panel transition from
transparent to black with leaving the overview via swipe down. The only
problem is that, while the duration of the panel transition itself is
matches, the corners don't, and they get out of sync.
This isn't very noticeable with the swipe gesture, but it'll be much
more prominent when booting straight into the overview.
Bind the 'style' property of the panel to the corners', so that the
transition duration hack applies to all of them.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1678>
The new startup animation consists of rising the Dash from the bottom,
falling the search entry from the ceiling, and going from HIDDEN to
WINDOW_PICKER with an opacity applied.
One little trick from IconGridLayout was added to ControlsManagerLayout,
which is a promises-based wait for allocation. This is required to make
sure that the transformed position of the search entry is valid, which
is only the case right after an allocation.
This animation also ensures that the overview is shown right on startup.
For session modes that do not have an overview, continue using the same
fade + scale animation.

We want to avoid updating the input region on startup, since it incurs
in roundtrips to the X server, but not workspaces struts, since they
affect the visible clip of wallpapers in the workspace. Since next
commits will make the overview be the after-boot screen, we really
don't want the wallpaper to be clipped wrongly.
Allow updating regions while starting up, but only workspace struts.
Make sure input is not updated by accounting for 'this._startingUp'
on 'wantsInputRegion'.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1678>
This is an X11-specific routine, and building the list of input region rects
on Wayland is a waste, since it incurs in many trampolines only to throw them
in the trash.
Don't build input region rects on Wayland. By modifying the 'wantsInputRegion'
variable, it also skips actors that only update input, which is another small
optimization for Wayland.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1678>
LayoutManager doesn't update struts when there's any modal running. Turns
out, the Overview itself is a modal. That, and the fact that the Overview
will be the startup state, prevents the workarea to be updated.
Allow updating struts when there's no other modal than the Overview.

Launching applications on a particular workspace works through
launch contexts and startup notifications. While this is no
longer required by a launcher/WM split, in theory this allows
us to reliably identify the correct window to apply startup
properties to.
However in practice we fail more often than not: Missing support in
toolkits, differences between display protocols, D-Bus activation
and single-instance applications all provide their own pitfalls.
So instead, take advantage of the fact that launcher and WM live in
the same process, and go with the unsophisticated approach: Just
remember the last workspace that was requested when launching an
app, then move the next window that is associated with the app to
that workspace.
This will break X11 applications that set an initial workspace, but
that's legacy functionality anyway (given that there's no wayland
protocol for that functionality), and seems a price worth paying
for making launching apps on workspaces more reliable.

Let the goToPage call afterwards to take precedence, instead
of resetting the adjustment (thus the view) on the side.
This resulted in strange state when the last page contains
a single icon, and it is dragged. The last page being emptied
triggers a pages-changed signal, which half resets the view
to the first page while DnD is ongoing.
Letting goToPage do its business means we neatly clamp to the
closest page to currentPage, the last page in that case.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1630>
When clicking on the page hints, the hint rectangles being visible
in place and not moving together with the page is a bit too
distracting.
Since the page hints are not part of the iconGrid hierarchy and
we have just 2 general ones for prev/next page (i.e. no page
associated), do this sliding via some smoke and mirrors: We don't
slide the page hints, but a parent container for both of them, and
we also control opacity so that the container is fully transparent
mid-page. At the point it is transparent, the container can be
snapped to the other side of the page, and faded back in as it
slides together with it, so it always looks like it goes away and
comes from the right sides.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1630>
Depending on the available horizontal space, we may want to manipulate
the icon grid and scroll view spacing to result in an optimal layout
that has space left to preview prev/next pages.
The main change here is that, when adapting to the available size, the
space given to a page does not necessarily match the available space,
as we need to be able to show more than one page at a time.
With this decoupling of available and page sizes in place, we now know
how much space there is available in order to extend the padding between
pages, or the fade effect applied to the previewed pages.
Underneath, we rely a bit less on hardcoded CSS paddings, and a bit more
on the StScrollView::content-padding property.
All put together, gives us proper space management from ultra-wide
displays, to display ratios that are close to the optimal grid ratio.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1630>
Remove padding on left and right of the contained widgetry, so
there's no seams animating things from the border. Also, remove
the padding between IconGrid pages, so the nest/prev pages are
visible given the dialog width.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1630>
When DnDing an icon, we show both previous/next page, and optionally
a "placeholder" actor to allow creating new pages. These sides on the
scrollview are drop targets themselves, allowing to drop an app onto
the next/prev page without further navigation.
Still, preserve the checks to maybe switch to prev/next page without
finishing the DnD operation, for finer grained operations.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1630>
Add the necessary animations to slide in the icons in the previous/next
pages, also needing to 1) drop the viewport clipping, and 2) extend scrollview
fade effects to let see the pages in the navigated direction(s).
The animation is driven via 2 adjustments, one for each side, so they
can animate independently.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1630>
We want to show left/right side pages during navigation, also in
FolderViews. Let this scrollview use the same style than the "all
apps" one, and generalize the name a bit.
This will compress the scrollview horizontally, so there's actual
overflow space to show these pages.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1630>
This will be needed for fine tuning of the visible area for appGrid
navigation purposes. We most nominally can let it happen via CSS as
the size calculations happen on size allocate, so we want to avoid
triggering relayouts while adapting to the given size.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1630>
Instead of taking just vertical/horizontal offsets, take a ClutterMargin
to allow us set the fade offsets on each direction specifically. Also,
handle negative values in margins, the fade effect will run in the negative
space left by the scrollview padding instead. Another difference now is
that areas outside the extents of the effect will be transparent, instead
of the effect ending abruptly past the given extents.
This will be used by the app grid, in order to selectively let see either
of next/prev pages while navigating.
While at it, fix code style issues in st_scroll_view_update_fade_effect(),
and clean up unused variables from the GLSL code.

This property controls whether the viewport clips the content to its own
allocation or not. This will be necessary in special modes that we want to
render past the viewport inside a scrollview.

The workspace minimap is much less prominent than the old workspace
switcher, and serves primarily as an indicator.
That means that duplicating it on secondary monitors (if workspaces
on non-primaries are enabled) is harder to mistake for per-monitor
workspaces, so make some people happy by including the minimap on
every monitor.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1735>
Now that the backgrounds was moved into workspaces, the fullscreen
views on secondary monitors are visually inconsistent with the
primary view, as there's no dash or search entry that reduces the
available height and allows adjacent workspaces to peek in.
Address this by adding padding above and below the view, so that
it is limited to 70% of the available height.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1735>
Right now the handling of external monitors is relatively simple, and
consists of putting either an extra workspace or a full view on the
monitor, depending on the workspaces-only-on-primary setting.
We are about to tweak the behavior on secondary monitors, prepare for
that by splitting out an intermediate actor that manages the views on
non-primaries.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1735>
At the moment views on non-primary monitors take up the entire work area,
so simply allocating the available size works. However we'll soon shrink
the views a bit to match the visuals on the primary monitor. As workspaces
keep the ratio, reducing their height will also reduce the width; override
the default allocate() to keep the extra workspace horizontally centered.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1735>
At the moment, we only get the initial :should-show value when populating
the thumbnails. That only happens when entering the overview, so any
listeners to notify::should-show will perceive it as a change rather
than an initialization, which can result in unwanted transitions.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1735>
We currently initialize the porthole to the screen size instead of
the monitor's work area we actually want. At the moment this doesn't
matter, as the minimap is created during initialization with the rest
of the overview, so we can expect a work area change that updates the
porthole to the correct values.
That won't be true for minimaps we put on secondary monitors, so make
sure we initialize the porthole to the actual values.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1735>
The minimap is currently created once when populating the overview,
and kept around until the end of the session. That will change when
we start to also show it on secondary monitors, so do proper clean
up when destroyed.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1735>
This is used to detect whether a click was short enough to select a
window and activate it or long enough to start a drag. Usually when
clicking on a window and selecting it, this leaves the overview, but
when clicking on a window on a neighboring workspace, the overview is
kept open, but selected is not unset in this case. So all attempts at
dragging the window after using it to switch workspaces will fail.
