Without the boxy background, event messages look a bit plain and
unaligned with other messages. Adding an icon addresses this,
however as repeating the same icon over and over again in case of
many events would be rather noisy, only show it for the top event
as in the mockups.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Update the notification style according to the latest mockups:
- make notification icons smaller and prefer symbolic variants
- remove background box when not hovered/focused
- increase spacing between elements
- use normal text sizes
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
For notifications in the message list, it is usually less relevant
when exactly it occurred, but how long ago. So rather than showing
the exact time and expecting the user to figuring out the timespan
themselves, change the format to something human readable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Currently the secondary actor (if set) and the close button are
exclusive, that is the latter replaces the former on hover. As
the swapping feels rather busy and there's no real reason both
cannot be shown at the same time, keep the secondary actor always
visible.
A welcome side effect is that it no longer needs to be placed at
the end, so we can move the notification timestamp right next to
the corresponding title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
The section titles usually don't provide a lot of value - messages
themselves are usually pretty unambiguous about their type, and
having a hidden shortcut to some settings panel or application isn't
essential either - except when showing the selected date when browsing
other days, as it adds context to the listed events. Based on that,
remove the section title as a general MessageListSection feature and
move it into the EventsSection, where we only show it when it is useful.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
We will eventually remove section titles from the message list to
reduce visual noise and give the actual information provided by
the messages more space. So in order to not lose the ability to
mass-dismiss messages, the latest mockups spot a "Clear All" button
at the bottom - implement that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Since the last notification redesign, we've been showing the time a
notification was received in the calendar drop-down. However as the
time is in fact added by the NotificationSection, it is actually the
time a notification was added to the list. Usually that difference is
not significant, except when previously received notifications are
restored on startup.
In order to be able to address those cases, we need a time that is
associated with the notification itself, so add a datetime property
that defaults to the current time, but may be set from an optional
parameter as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775799
And adapt existing callers to the new API. This will allow us to
implement a way to launch applications on the discrete GPU for systems
where an "Optimus" system exists.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773117
We currently use the :active pseudo class to mark the selected day
in the calendar. Whenever the selected date changes, the class is
added to the corresponding button and removed from all others.
However when the selected date doesn't change (i.e. when clicking
the already selected date), the buttons are not updated and the
use of the :active class conflicts with StButton's builtin handling
of the class - the class is removed on the button up event and the
button is deselected.
Fix this by simply using a different pseudo class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746867
The last patch fixed marking days in the calendar where all
events are ignored, but it doesn't pick up the change when
an event is hidden. Emit an appropriate change notification
to fix this issue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768538
Ignoring events is currently implemented in the message list's
event section, which means that the calendar does not consider
ignored events when marking days with events. In order to fix
this, move the handling of ignored events to the event source,
which is shared between both components.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768538
We lost media controls outside of notification banners when
implementing the new notification designs. Reimplement this
functionality as a dedicated "Media" section in the message
list based on MPRIS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756491
Currently both the base classes for messages/sections and the message
list itself that instantiates the available sections are located in
the same module. As a result, it isn't possible to define sections
in a different module without introducing circular dependencies. The
Calendar module is already unwieldily large, so split it up a bit to
avoid it growing even bigger in the future.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756491
The destroy signal handler is kept connected despite the NotificationMessage
being destroyed, which leaves dangling NotificationMessage objects that will
be mass destroyed when the Notification object these depend upon is finally
destroyed.
Depending on the amount of accumulated NotificationMessages, this may lead
to temporary freezes or other more funky issues when recursion limits are
hit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755425
Resident notifications are not really a thing anymore with the new
design, so all the user sees are some notifications that mysteriously
cannot be closed. That's utterly confusing, stop doing that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746860
Since commit 75745fc23f, the bodyStack itself is no longer start-aligned
to not break custom body actors like chat notifications. However we still
want "normal" body actors start-aligned to get the correct RTL behavior.
Currently dismissed events will simply reappear when browsing
back and forth between dates, which is clearly broken. Instead,
hide events that have been dismissed permanently. For now, we
simply store a list of ignored IDs ourselves, until we get API
in evolution-data-server to reliably store custom per-event
properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744927
The design calls for differentiating between dismissable reminders
and permanent events, based on whether the selected date is "today"
or some other day.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744927
While messages in the EventsSection are currently simple enough to
use the generic Message baseclass, the design calls for events to
only be dismissable on the current day. We will need a subclass to
implement this behavior cleanly, so add one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744927
As the design calls for slightly different behavior for the current
day, move the _isToday() function out of MessageListSection to have
it available elsewhere as well ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744927
Currently the clear action in the section header simply removes all
messages from the section. While the result looks exactly as if the
close button of each individual message had been clicked, the messages
are not actually closed - after a restart (or some other condition that
triggers a reload), the messages simply reappear, which is confusing.
Do the expected thing instead, and make clear close all messages in the
section.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746027
Currently a message can only be closed by its close button. However
as we want to make a section's clear action synonymous with clicking
the close button of each individual message in the list, we will need
to expose the close action, so add a corresponding method.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746027
Currently closing all messages is subtly different from clearing
a section, which is confusing. Start making the behavior more
predictable by only showing a close button in the message when
the section's clear button would remove it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746027
If a different message ends up underneath the pointer at the end
of the removal animation, it won't receive an enter event until
the pointer is moved, and thus its hover state will not be correct.
Fix it up manually with an explicit pointer sync.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746019
As we use two separate body actors for expanded and unexpanded
notifications, updating only one of them on notification updates
is not enough - if the notification has already been expanded,
we need to update the second label as well.
Enabling line-wrapping of the unexpanded body is not enough to enforce
a single line when the text has embedded newlines, so replace these with
spaces (this is similar to setting ClutterText:single-line-mode, however
that would use a paragraph separator glyph instead).
Currently both the timestamp and the position in the notification list
are static once a notification has been added; however notifications may
be updated later, in which case those properties should be reevaluated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745132
Replace the time formatting in notifications and events with the
new utility method - this makes sure that all times are now following
the clock-format setting and use LC_TIME.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745111
While those elements cannot be activated, they still provide useful
information to screen readers, so include them in the focus chain.
For the same purpose, set a more verbose accessible name, given that
it is not bound by the same space constraints as the visible label.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706903
It doesn't make much sense to show a section if it must remain empty
due to the session mode - there won't be any events if the session
mode disallows events, or notifications if those are disallowed. So
take the session mode into account and update the sections' visibility
accordingly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745494
Messages can be dismissed using a pointer device by clicking the
close button, there's no reason to not make the same action
available via keyboard as well. Delete looks like an obvious
choice ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745279
We reuse the old body text on useMarkup changes and for expanded
labels. However just taking it from the label actor does not work
when markup is used, as once applied it will be stripped from
ClutterText:text.
So to preserve markup, keep our own copy of the original string
around.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744907
Markup in notification titles is not support (and never has been).
Therefore the text is run through g_markup_escape_text(), and as
a result we do have to use markup internally to correctly show
legal-but-escape characters like '&' or '"'.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744894
Notifications in the message list cannot be expanded, however we will
soon use NotificationMessage to re-implement notification banners, where
we still want actions and expanded content.
While this functionality logically belongs to the future banner subclass,
it is cleaner and easier to have the basic support in the base class.
This also leaves the door open for expanded notifications in the summary,
should that become a thing again.
