When returning to the desktop from overview we always show the
workspaceDisplay, given that is which have the windows clones to allow
animations.
The problem becomes when previous that we were at some other
page, like Search or AppDisplay. The problem is that when showing the
workspaceDisplay the windows are repositioned. That's wanted except
when returning from overview, since that causes unwanted animations
of the windows.
To avoid that just not reposition the windows if leaving the overview.
We already have the width and height information cached in JS,
let's avoid going through gjs-gobject-clutter to retrieve them
again. As a plus, with normal properties the optimizer should
be able to generate better code.

Windows in the overview should be like they appear in the workspace,
including modal dialogs that are attached above them.
In addition, hiding the dialogs in the overview causes a flash as
dialog appears at the end of the transition.

Simply use St's existing key navigation system by making all the window
clones StWidgets, and making the WorkspacesView a focus group.
Since the workspace view is effectively "fake", we need to add a focus
delegator so that when key focus is assigned to the fake workspaces page,
we can keynav inside it properly.

Because of the animation and collision with relayout, the title of windows in overview may not appear, mainly
the first time we enter in overview
With an animation delay of 0.1s, you'll not see the difference
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709392
We added special code to sort each row in the overview so that
windows were less likely to cross lines, but the awkward control
flow meant that everything but the last row got sorted.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707197
Commit 16fa186b63 attempted to fix the zoom animation problem
by throwing changes on the floor while the overview is animating. This has
the side effect that we might end up missing some positioning changes causes
windows to overlap the workspace thumbnails.
So revert those changes and fix it by simply by passing
WindowPositionFlags.ANIMATE during the overview animation.
This way the animation works as expected and we don't miss any position changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703105
Meta laters are invoked in reverse order of registration, so
having multiple laters propagating the geometry cause all but the
first one in the frame (which is usually wrong) to be ignored.
Instead, queue at most one later call, and use the last set geometry
in the callback.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700853
If windows are removed or added, we shouldn't keep the old layout, as it's
not valid anymore. If windows are removed, this is especially bad, as the
rows contain references to the removed window objects, causing crashes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698622
Instead of applying an additional scale factor to all the rows in the
layout, only do it for those rows that don't fit.
This avoids the visual distraction of resizing a row when there's no
need to.
Instead of doing an entire recalculation of window positions when
sliding the thumbnails box, simply recalculate the position and scale
with basic aspect ratio math. This also ensures that windows won't
miraculously swap positions, even if we reposition windows while the
thumbnails box is expanded.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Split out the part that moves the window clones around from
the part that calculates the window clone positions, and rename
both methods so that the overall meaning is more clear.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Repositioning will eventually be separated from recalculation
to accomodate two different geometries, so we'll need to do
the padding and area manipulation in two different areas.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
As we want to eventually track two geometries, we need to rename
our very plain "_x, _y, _width, _height". While we could just prefix
them, I think that stuffing them in an object makes more sense.
At the same time, make the variable and method name more descriptive
by adding such a prefix, as well as a bit of documentation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
This was saved so that doing something which called relayout
but only changed the area rectangle would simply be needed to
recompute window scaling parameters. With the new overview
relayout, the flow control changed, it turns out that the
current layout is always cleared. Remove this for now, and we'll
put in a different strategy for this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Windows can be restacked at any time, including when the stackAbove
property of the window clone is being dragged, and thus parented to
the uiGroup. To do stacking properly, we need to skip it for the duration
of the drag, and sync it again at the end (which is already done by
mutter because of the workspace change)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685285
This can happen if you open two or three terminal windows, and then
open the overview -- they're not centered. The issue is that because
of the WINDOW_CLONE_MAXIMUM_SCALE clamping, the scale that is being
laid out is different from the scale that the layout was calculated
for.
Implement and document a hack-ish solution which simply keeps the
scale for the layout as originally calculated, but centers the
windows inside the cell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
Multiplication is linear, so we can split this out as a separate
component. This will make it easier to think of it as an additional
per-window scaling factor, rather than tweaking the scale a bit,
which is more correct to the model.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
While we won't tear down the entire strategy infrastructure, we want to
rework some layout code in the future, so just tear this piece out for
now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
Using the scroll wheel to switch workspaces makes sense, but it is
currently only supported on the workspace switcher, as it conflicts
with window zooming in the picker.
As changing workspaces is far more useful than the zoom feature,
remove the latter in order to "free" the scroll wheel for workspace
switching.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686639
Right now we arrange the window thumbnails in a grid if there are more than two
rows of them. This was originally intended to reduce the amount of noise in the
thumbnail arrangement. It also made sense when the thumbnails were of a similar
size.
Nowadays we reflect the size of windows in the size of the thumbnail. This
leads to huge amounts of space between some windows when they are grid aligned.
Removing the grid alignment would also lead to larger thumbnails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694210
Making them not fully opaque just makes them harder to see and there is no reason why the user should care whether the window is minimized or not when
switching to a window display them like any other windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693991
If WindowOverlay.relayout() is called without animation, we must stop
any preexisting animation, otherwise it will continue to run with the
previous parameters and cause the overlay to end up in the wrong position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693970
The one we had before could make unmaximized windows appear to be bigger
than maximized ones, for a few reasons. Ensure that this doesn't happen
again, and add some comments to explain the whys and needs for twiddling
the individual thumbnail size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686944
We clamp the overall layout's scale to WINDOW_CLONE_MAXIMUM_SCALE, but since
we do a bit of tweaking to try and make super small windows a tad larger, it's
theoretically possible that windows may become larger than the proper maximum
scale. Fix this issue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686944
Add an style class targetting workspaces located outside the overview,
and use it for extra padding around the window clones. Padding is passed
down and applied inside LayoutStrategy, consolidating code that previously
handled the bottom side only.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690171
The current code parses the button-layout setting because MetaButtonLayout
was not usable from introspection. With that fixed, we can switch to
using meta_prefs_get_button_layout().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689263
After the first time the title was placed, we were setting its width,
thus forcing get_preferred_width() to return that as the minimum and
natural width.
To workaround that, explicitly reset the width to -1, -1, causing
StLabel->get_preferred_width() to be called, which would give us a meaningful
value for minimum and natural width.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688234
WindowOverlay was at times seeing bogus values reported as WindowClone
sizes. Fix that by storing and passing the value from the authoritative
source, that is, the LayoutStrategy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688234
Since the introduction of overlay hover borders, there has a been
a timing disconnection between hiding the border and button, and
this creates noise and reduces the effect of the window+overlay
as a single unit.
Solve that by animating the close button too, so that the two actors
are shown and hidden always at the same time.
Also, consolidate the code to make it clear to future authors that
those two items need to stay coordinated.

Windows in the overview should be highlighted when hovered, to indicate
they are an active target.

When in the overview, if you move the mouse cursor over one of the
application launchers in the dash, all the unrelated windows are dimmed
both both in the window view and in the workspace view.
It helps to easily understand whether or not there are already opened
windows for this application, and where they are. It can also help in
differentiating the windows in the overview (sometimes the thumbnails
aren't precise enough to easily know which thumbnail belongs to which
application).

Reposition the window overlay when the title changes, using the current
transformed size of the window clone.
Includes a test that changes title to a string of random length every 3 seconds.

Change the layout strategy to be more like the mockups. With less than
two rows of windows, we try to fit every window in a non-aligned situation;
with more than three rows of windows, we try to fit every window in an
aligned situation.

Right now, when entering the overview, we compute the window slots about
four or five times, from scratch each time. Move to a queued system where
extraneous calls to positionWindows don't matter.

We are replacing the gnome-screensaver module with with a screen shield
that is part of gnome-shell.
This patch fades out the screen on idle and shows a shield with a background
image when there is activity again. The shield can be removed with a key or
button press.

Clear the ClutterClickAction state before starting the drag,
otherwise it will eat the first button event after the drag,
preventing a new drag from being started.

If there's a single small window (e.g. empathy chat) in the overview, it
looks usable, because it's as big as outside of the overview, but when
you start to type, overview search is launched, which is confusing.
Fix that by setting maximum scale for window clones to 0.7
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646704
In overview when closing a window and afterwards dragging a window it can
happen that you pick a wrong window or no window if windows' positions is
updated while initiating the drag.
Fix that by delaying window rearrangement when cursor is over a window.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645325
The window overlays may be shown erroneously if hideOverlays is
called while the corresponding clone has an uncompleted tween which
calls showOverlays in its onComplete handler, for instance when
quickly leaving the overview before the initial overview animation
has finished. To fix, remove all existing tweens when hiding the
overlays.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666020
When in overview, window labels flicker or are temporarily hidden on a
number of occasions - when simply clicking around the area the windows
are displayed in, dragging a window, sliding in the workspace list,
adding new workspaces etc. This patch makes the label for any window
visible at any given moment when in overview and the said window is
not being dragged around.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644861
WorkspacesDisplay was introduced to manage the workspace objects
and views; however, the overview still accesses the view held
by the workspacesDisplay directly, which is a bit odd.
Add some additional methods needed by the overview, and make the
view a private property.
