Change the overlay behavior to display more details about an item on single
click and launch it on double click.
When the item is clicked on in the expanded view, the details are shown in the
area on the right that is allocated for showing details. The details pop-up is
not shown for the item that was clicked on, but it is shown for other items on
hover and for the item that was clicked if the mouse pointer is moved back to
it.
Both hovering and single clicking results in the details pop-up being shown in
the regular view. (Single clicking actually doesn't do anything in the regular
view, but the details pop-up is shown due to hovering within the time it takes
to perform a single click.)
The overlay now uses 3 columns on the wide screen for displaying items in the
expanded view. This allows keeping the size of the details area the same for
expanded and regular views.
Add shell_get_button_event_click_count() to shell-global.[hc] to retrieve
the click count for button press and release events.
Add selectedItemDetails public variable actor to the generic display to
contain the details of the selected item and be shown in the overlay when
it is in the expanded view mode.
Fix the bug when the sideshow section would loose selection in the expanded
view if it did not have any items, and would not regain it if it was repopulated
with some items (e.g. when the search string changes).
The sideshow no longer takes overlay parent and width as constructor arguments.
It is added to the overlay inside the overlay code and manages its own width
instead (which is ok, since it is pretty much a private class within overlay).
Clean up the way selection is moved when an item is launched in order to have
selection on click and activation on double click be implemented in a similar
fashion. An unneeded _activatedItem variable in generic display was removed,
and the selected item is activated instead when necessary. The flow of processing
signals changed so that generic display no longer waits for the selection from
a different sideshow section to be removed before selecting an item that was
clicked on. This removed the need for doActivate() function.
The panel looks nicer when it is drawn as a semi-transparent gradient
above the background color.
shell-global.[ch]: Add a function that creates vertical gradient actors.
panel.js: Change the look of the panel and put the tray in a framed box.
overlay.js: Extend the overlay background to behind the panel.
Showing previews after a delay allows the user to move the mouse around
the screen without triggering constant pop-ups.
Make sure we remove the pop-up when the user hits Escape and redisplay
the pop-up if we are updating the section results due to a change in space
allocated for it.
Rename protected variable _hasPreview to _showPreview in order to not have
the naming conflict with a new private variable _havePointer, which we
name in first person.
The pop-up previews have larger images than the item displays, which is
particularly nice when we are displaying thumbnails for documents. The
previews are also at least as wide as is required to fit the item title
on one line and the item description inside them is wrapped. Therefore
they act as tooltips showing the full title and description text.
The preview updates when the item under the mouse pointer changes. Changes
in overlay.js ensure that we keep the sideshow on top when the
workspaces are not being animated so that we can find the item over which the
pointer is located.
The preview is removed when the item it is shown for starts being dragged.
_hideInProgress variable was added to represent the state of the overlay
when the code for hiding it was already triggered. This fixes the error
which was happening when the code for hiding the overlay was triggered
multiple times (for example by the user clicking the Activities button
twice when exiting the overlay).
Sliding the workspaces back in when the user starts dragging an item in the
expanded display mode allows the user to select a workspace in which the item
should be launched and stay in the overlay mode.
This patch adds code to dnd.js that handles notifying actors when a drag item is being dragged over them. Overlay code uses such notification to unset expanded display modes and trigger sliding in of the workspaces.
If the drag is cancelled the drag item snaps back to its source or disappears at the original position of its source if the source is no longer displayed.
Add a display control that contains page numbers for the result
pages and is shown in the expanded results view. All of the page selection and
switching is handled by the GenericDisplay which exposes a displayControl
actor, which is then displayed by the Sideshow.
We had problems because the More links were reacting on press but
other elements were reacting on release. (Often the link would trigger
*and* an item.) Just connecting to ::button-release-event on
ClutterText gives a stuck grab (since ClutterText gets the press
but not the release), so we need more complicated code that we
encapsulate into a new class.
link.js: new "pseudo-widget" that implements a clickable link.
overlay.js: Use Link.Link for the More.. links

Add black backgrounds to each item display, as well as a black
background with a full-screen height to the workspaces display.
Update the expanded item display up front when 'More...' is clicked, and
reveal the additional items gradually when the other components of the overlay
slide away.
Raise the documents display up gradually as the applications display above it slides away.
Reverse the process when 'Less...' is clicked. First, gradually cover up additional items by other components, and then update the displays to contain fewer items.
tools/build/gnome-shell.modules: Point at master branch of Clutter (0.9)
and make gobject-introspection a dep of Clutter.

src/shell-global.[ch]: Add Shell.get_event_key_symbol() to workaround
unaccessibility of clutter_key_event_symbol() to use.
js/runDialog.js js/overlay.js: Use Shell.get_event_key_symbol() as
appropriate.
Put sideshow sections into boxes so that we can slide them out with a single 'easeOutQuad' transition.
Handle expanding the documents section in the same fashion as we handle expanding the applications section.
Place "More..." labels inside Big Boxes with x_align set to Big.BoxAlignment.END so that we don't have to position them manually.
Before the run dialog was changing the focus, but because we were
only setting it once, we ended up with nothing focused after the run
dialog was destroyed.
Previously we were stripping all whitespace. Instead, just strip leading+trailing
whitespace, split the remaining search into individual terms which we search
for independently.
Items are grouped by the number of terms they match, then sorted
alphabetically.
Divide the screen into a grid and use it to determine the layout of the overlay components in a more consistent manner.
Remove the 'Add workspace' control and slide the workspaces
display to the side without scaling it when switching to the 'More' mode.
Automatically removes tweens on destroyed actors, and provides
additional "animation started/stopped" callbacks (eg, for tracking
whether or not to show window clone titles)
mode. When this control is clicked, documents display section slides down,
workspaces display slides to the side, and a multi-column applications view is
presented to the user. "More' control is replaced with a 'Less' control. When
the 'Less' control is clicked a default overlay view is restored.
Clean up positioning of the components of the overlay sideshow
and the items within generic item displays.

well as corresponding classes for applications and documents that inherit from
them.
Use half the height of the sideshow in the overlay mode for the
AppDisplay, and the other half for the DocDisplay.
Enable moving the selection between the two displays by using up and down arrow keys.
Enable activating any item by clicking on it, in addition to activating the currently selected item by pressing Enter.
Apply search entry content to both sets of items.

overlay.js: Make the AppDisplay a child of the SideShow, rename
SideShow._grid to SideShow.actor and slide the SideShow in when
showing the stage.

Convert all JS style to be uniform, add Eclipse settings bits
Instead, just add 'indent-tabs-mode: nil' to the mode lines and convert
tabs to spaces. The indentation no longer exactly matches the Eclipse
settings, since they differ in some ways from the style we are trying
to achieve.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=97
Previous style was all over the place; this commit attempts to bring
uniformity. Overall, the style is:
* 4 spaces only, no tabs
* Prototypes do not create a new block
* Constructor property continuations only indent one block

- Make the time a bit longer (now that we control timing in Tweener
better it actually takes the time we specify)
- Use easeOutQuad so that we get a "soft landing" into position
- Move the anchor point of the Desktop to NorthEast to reduce jitter

Now that gjs Bug #558741 is fixed, we can import Main directly from
the toplevel of overlay.js/panel.js without causing problems.

When showing windows in the overlay, stack them in the same order as
they are on the screen. This improves the animation (the starting point
is now the current layout!) and also the case where we have a lot
of windows and just overlap them diagonally.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=40
When we are animating the overlay, we don't want to be continually
redrawing the (obscured) window actors.
src/shell-global.c: Add 'window-group' property to expose the group
holding the window actors.
js/ui/overlay.js: Hide the window group while the overlay is up.
