This extends the ShellMountPasswordDialog by widgets which allow
specifying parameters supported by TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt compatible
volumes (TCRYPT). This includes:
- Whether the volume to be unlocked is hidden.
- Whether the volume to be unlocked is a system partition.
Note: TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt only support encrypting Windows
systems [1], so the label for this option is "Windows System Volume".
- Whether to use a PIM [2].
- Whether to use keyfiles. Unfortunately, GMountOperation doesn't
support TCRYPT keyfiles, so if this checkbox is checked, we tell the
user that they should unlock the volume with Disks, which supports
unlocking TCRYPT volumes with keyfiles.

Selecting a screen area for a screenshot isn't the same as selecting
items in an icon view, so there's no strong rationale for picking
up the style from GTK. We stopped doing that for other elements like
tile previews long ago, so just use our own style here too.

After the latest texture cache changes, loading the icon at its preferred

While it is possible to register accelerators in-bulk, there is no
proper way to unregister them again. This adds the corresponding call
for UngrabAccelerator to allow ungrabbing multiple accelerators at the

The idea is that g-s-d can use this in the future to simplify the
keybinding reload logic.

Window titles aren't restricted in length, so the menu may end up unwieldily
width. Commit 0bec76b6ee therefore limited the app context menus, but that
got accidentally dropped in commit 0ded0dbfd5. Add back the limitation and
extend it to the new app menu as well.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/624
This keyboard works similar to GTK+'s emoji chooser (actually, both pull
from the same JSON file). Emojis are categorized in sections and variants
and kept in a "model".
The EmojiPager actor then uses this model to generate pages on-the-fly as
the user swipes around. This is an important optimization since the amount
of actors would rival with the rest of the shell otherwise.
The EmojiSelection object puts the EmojiPager, the page indicators and
a KeyContainer with the bottom row of emoji section shortcuts together to
implement the emoji panel as a whole.
The Keyboard object hooked this to an "emoji" key, which is just visible
on the Clutter.InputContentPurpose where showing an emoji would be
meaningful. Otherwise the surrounding buttons are made a bit wider to
cover up for it (i.e. as it was before).
The OSK panel uses 1/3rd of the monitor height, plus we specify a minimum
size for the keys. This doesn't play along if contents won't fit (short
monitor, big fonts, ...) pushing contents offscreen. Reduce the minimum
size a bit so there's better chances to fit.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/675
Since commit 447bf55e45 we turn the top bar translucent when

negative effect on legibility.
Nobody stepped up to address those issues in two years, so revert
back to the fully opaque top bar.

Having Unity-like shortcuts for activating the first nine applications

As the shortcut is most useful outside the overview where the dash is

The `GetWindows` method gives access to the list of windows for each

Add a D-Bus API that allows the API user to introspect the application
state of the shell. Currently the only exposed information is list of
running applications and which one is active (i.e. has focus).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/326
Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.
Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.
Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.
To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/537
We'll soon move the inlined XML of all interfaces we export or consume into
separate files. That's a significant increase from the interfaces for which

Reported by desktop-file-validate:
error: value "True" for boolean key "NoDisplay" in group "Desktop
Entry" contains invalid characters, boolean values must be "false" or
"true"
While the new per-desktop overrides in GIO are easier to use for
both developers and users, it is still inconvenient for everyone
who changed the defaults using the old overrides hack to lose
their settings. Address this by running a small script on startup
that migrates existing settings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786496
GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used
to change schemas' default values for a particular desktop. This
is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,
and it doesn't require a separate schema - the latter means that
we (and gnome-teak-tool) no longer have to figure out the correct
schema for the current login session and just use the original one.

Make the indicator for active remote access use the warning color, to

gnome-settings-daemon will use these, for example.

After the move to Gitlab, the gnome-shell-sass repository is more
exposed than it used to; clarify that it is not the place where
style changes should happen, but rather the corresponding subtree
in the gnome-shell repository.
* Remove tiny padding of user-list
* Less space between avatar and username
* Apply the 1em padding only to the user-widget, not the timed-login-indicator
Adjust the previous commit which applied the alignment to :first-child
descendants, instead of only immediate children. This fixes alignment
issues for a number of Shell extensions by making it easier to override
with a .popup-menu-item style-subclass.
find_program() defaults to require the program in question, and as
failing to locate it is now fatal, there's no longer a need for

The previous implementation of the CSS generation logic considered sassc
an optional dependency and made sure for that reason that the result CSS
files ended up in the source directory, so that they could be checked
in and kept in sync with the source sass files.
As we are making sassc a required dependency, we can now stop doing that
extra work and simply rely on the CSS files being automatically generated
each time the sass sources change. By doing this, we can now effectively
get rid of the CSS files checked in the repo as well as of the parse_sass.sh
script, since the CSS files will now live on the build directory only.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792822
As the style has grown bigger and more complex, generating the different
variants from a common source has been a good decision. However given how
intertwined the theme is with gnome-shell itself, relying on a submodule
has proven to be quite painful. And as things stand right now, it is going
to get worse:
- using either pre-generated CSS or generating it at build time is
odd, and violates meson's strict separation between source- and
build directories; we are therefore considering dropping the CSS
and depending on sassc to always generate it at build time
- with the migration to gitlab, our workflow shifts decisively towards
branches; however there is no support in either git or gitlab for
handling two brances of separate repositories consecutively, which
gets particularly awkward for branches in a private namespace
With those pain points in mind, we will adjust our setup as follows:
- remove the submodule from gnome-shell and instead import the
sass as subtree
- after that, the sass sources can be changed like any other files
in the repository, and regular contributors can forget that there
was ever anything special about them
- whenever we want to update the classic style, we can push the subtree
changes and bump gnome-shell-extension's sass submodule
In other words: Updating the classic styling will become slightly more
painful, but not much and only for me; in return, everyone else can
stop fiddling with submodules (and buy me a beer).
All section titles use an icon, while all corresponding submenu items
are plain-text. As a result, labels in submenus aren't aligned with
the labels in the parent, which makes them harder to read and look
unbalanced. Address this by adding additional whitespace to submenu
items to account for the additional elements in the title.

When dragging a window between two workspaces a light effect used
to be present. The effect was lost probably during the theme revamp

As notification icons now align with the title, it makes sense for
them to follow the text size in case a text-scaling-factor other

Using a unicode character here means it may look quite different
from the intended style (for instance with emoji fonts). Avoid
this by providing a custom icon and use that instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766368
The legacy tray introduced as part of the notification redesign in
3.16 was meant as a stop-gap solution to encourage applications to
move away from the concept of status icons, but it hasn't really
done anything except of getting in the way. Given that the large
majority of apps that still make use of status icons work perfectly
fine without them, we decided that it is time to drop this unloved
bit of UI altogether. Users who still want them (or use one of the
odd cases where an app really depends on the icon) can install one of
various extensions that are available, either based on the XEmbed
support that is still kept around or implementing the DBus-based
StatusNotifier spec.

While the new title position gives the previews more space, they now
overlay the content which may hide valuable information. Address this
by only revealing the title as additional information on hover, like
we do for other auxiliary elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
With the window titles no longer being shown as part of the previews
grid, we can reduce the spacing to have more space available to the
window previews themselves.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We consider the window previews the primary way to identify a window,
so it makes sense to give them as much space as possible. So in order
to not have title captions take up too much vertical space, overlay
them on top of the preview borders.

A lot of our modal dialogs share a similar structure:

There is a clear difference between the file name and its associated
description which the mockups clearly highlight. Consequently,
make the description label semitransparent, in order to emphasize
the file name, not the description itself.

The current size of the text is way bigger than what
we want now. The default front size is what we are
looking after, therefore no explicit value is needed
to specify the font size.

The current separator uses a gradient effect as a separator
between search results. As the mockups suggest, the gradient
separator is no longer needed, in favor of a more simple one,
which is a thin semitransparent line.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
In order to match the current mockups, the providerIcon
class needed to include both the name of the provider
and the label that informs the user about how many more
search results are available for that specific provider.
The latter replaces the plus sign icon that has been
used so far.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
In order to make gnome-shell search functionality fit on
smaller screens, like those of devices, search results
need to take advantage of more horizontal space so that
any extra space can be used efficiently.
In order to do so, change the layout of the ListSearchResult
class from a vertical one, to a horizontal one and also
decrease the padding of the list-search-result-content css
class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
The user list uses the same indication for hover and focus, so it
is possible for two items to be highlighted at the same time. Using
different styling would improve the situation, but only to some
extent - the user would still need to figure out which highlight
corresponds to which activation method. So instead, copy the
approach we use in popup menus and use a single property for
highlights that is updated by both focus- and hover changes.

GTK+ switched from ruby-based sass to c-based sassc for performance

The solid black top bar we currently use works well for maximized
or tiled windows, as it puts focus on the application content by
blending into the monitor bezel. However it also visually reduces
the screen space, which is particularly noticeable when no window
is located nearby. Having the top bar blend with the background is
a better option in that case, so track window positions and add
some transparency when the top bar is free-floating.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747163
The usual expectation when selecting large fonts is for content to

Media notifications currently always show the forward and backward

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.

Similar to the Clocks integration we've had in the date+time drop-down for

When gnome-shell fails to start on login, gnome-session tries to
re-launch it again with all extensions disabled. This is currently
implemented by clearing the list of enabled extensions, which means
the user needs to re-enable their extensions manually again.
To make this process less annoying, add a single 'kill-switch' setting
gnome-session can use without interfering with the user setting.

This is an implementation of the pad OSD that's been previously

Nowadays, the user interface has mostly stabilized with most changes
happening under the hood. As a result, extensions written for previous
versions of GNOME Shell are very much expected to keep working on
updates, if it wasn't for the version check that requires a version
bump in the extension metadata. There has been a setting to disable
that check for a while, but it's existence isn't widely known (hence
the common perception that "everything breaks on updates"). While
there is still some risk that an out-of-date extension can be enabled
without error, but fails spectacularly later (where we cannot catch
the exception), it is reasonably small by now when compared to the
~95% of extensions that can be "unbroken", so swap the default value
to disable version checks by default.

Commit bd6e7f14d1 reimplemented the cycle keybindings to
fix cycling between more than two windows, but the approach

finishes, and use a dedicated actor that draws a border around
a window clone for highlighting.

If a sandboxed app requests access to some system resource (camera,

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.
