Since ES5, it is possible to create objects with no prototype at all:
let foo = Object.create(null);
Those object won't have any builtin properties like hasOwnProperty(),
which is why eslint added a corresponding rule to its default rule set.
While this isn't an issue that affects our code, there's no harm in fol-
lowing the recommendation and call the method through Object.prototype.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/716
We currently use no less than three different ways of indenting
object literals:
let obj1 = {
foo: 42,
bar: 23,
};
let obj2 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23 };
let obj3 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23
};
The first is the one we want to use everywhere eventually, while the
second is the most commonly used "legacy" style.
It is the third one that is most problematic, as it throws off eslint
fairly badly: It violates both the rule to have consistent line breaks
in braces as well as the indentation style of both regular and legacy
configurations.
Fortunately the third style was mostly used for tween parameters, so
is quite rare after the Tweener purge. Get rid of the remaining ones
to cut down on pre-existing eslint errors.

We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.

For GObject properties, we follow the convention of all-lowercase,
dash-separated names. Those translate to underscores in getters/setters,
so exempt them from the newly added "camelcase" rule.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.

Whether people love or hate the hot corner depends in large extents
on hardware sensitivity and habits, which is hard to get right
universally. So bite the bullet and support an option to enable or
disable hot corners ...

The top_window_group is used for windows like popup menus, which should
appear above shell chrome like the panel.
Since we want important actors such as the screen keyboard or modal
dialogs to be shown above those windows, add their actors after adding
global.top_window_group to this.uiGroup and provide a new function
addTopChrome() to add important chrome above the top_window_group.

The bind constraint that replaced the Shell.GenericContainer in commit
f4682748fa is subtly different from the previous code:
It forces the actor to have the same size as the stage, rather than just
requesting that size.
This breaks the magnifier which relies on the UI being able to be bigger
than the display size. Fix by going back to using a custom actor.

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

When a fullscreen application is focused,
toggling the overview via hot-corner is disabled,
even when the overview is currently visible.
This only makes sense, when the overview is
hidden to not to disturb the behaviour of the
fullscreen application, but leaves an
inconsistency when the overview is visible since
it should work there like when a non-fullscreen-
application is focused.
So, always allow hiding the overview using the
hot corner when the overview is visible.

LayoutManager is currently a pure JavaScript class that
relies on the rudimentary Signals.addSignalMethods() to
handle signals. This is an inefficient implementation of
one of the most central classes in GNOME Shell.
In addition to removing Shell.GenericContainer, then,
turn LayoutManager into a proper GObject.Object subclass.

Remove any usage of MetaScreen, as it has been removed from libmutter
in the API version 3. The corresponding functionality has been moved
into three different places: MetaDisplay, MetaX11Display (for X11
specific functionality) and MetaWorkspaceManager.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

We were handling being initially headless by only setting the primary
and bottom monitor if there was any primary monitor, then checking the
primary monitor reference before making calls assuming there was any
monitors.
What we didn't do was unset the primary and bottom monitor when going
headless, meaning that temporarly disconnecting a monitor while having
windows open caused an assert to be triggered due to various code paths
taking the path assuming there are valid monitors.
Unsetting both the primary and bottom monitor when going headless avoids
the code paths in the same way as they were avoided when starting
headless.

Don't assume there will always be a primary (logical) monitor, or any
(logical) monitor at all. This includes not allocating / layouting /
styling correctly when being headless.
The initial background loading will also be delayed until there are any
(logical) monitors connected.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

let trackChrome accept actors that are not children of chrome actors.
this will be useful for the MetaCloseDialog in gnome-shell, which
is already included in the MetaWindowGroup, but needs to be tracked
as chrome for the dialog to receive pointer events on X11.

It's possible for updateRegions() to be called before monitors have
been properly initialized. Instead of throwing an error in that case,
just skip the strut computation (that doesn't make sense anyway without
a monitor).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781471
findMonitorForActor() may be called before the layoutManager gets
to initialize monitors, so make sure the monitor index is in range
to avoid a warning.

Commit c39ffa111 moved the signal handling from the controls- to the
background-group to enable scrolling on non-primary monitors.
However this broke scrolling on reactive overview elements as the
workspace switcher, as they're not descendants of the background.
To fix, move scroll-event handling to the overview group itself,
which is the common ancestor of all overview elements.

When we restart, we need to update the struts for the screen before
we enter the main loop, or maximized windows will get resized to the
size of the screen without struts, then resized back.
A workaround is needed for a Clutter bug that occurs when we get
the size of an actor before the first paint of the stage.

When chrome is added with the trackFullscreen parameter, the actor's
visibility will be updated automatically whenever its monitor's
fullscreen state changes. However as we currently ignore the fullscreen
state at the time the chrome is added, the initial visibility may well
be incorrect - fix this by updating the initial visibility as necessary.

For barriers like the hot corner which are made up of multiple axis
barriers, make sure that all the barriers have been left before
resetting the barrier.
NVIDIA drivers don't preserve FBO contents across suspend / resume
cycles which results in broken backgrounds. We can work around that by
forcing a refresh when coming out of suspend.

Since commit e189a34, the trayBox uses a Contraint to cover the primary
monitor's work area. This allows banners to be clipped so they don't
leak into monitors above the primary one during animations. However even
without being reactive, the trayBox now interferes with operations like
Looking Glass' object picker and overview DND.
With the trayBox no longer being positioned manually, there's no strong
reason to keep it in LayoutManager, and handling it in MessageTray allows
to hide the actor while no banner is showing, which helps with the issue
outlined above.
