We assume that applications that export a 'new-window' action can open
a new window, so we add an appropriate entry to the context menu.
However this duplicates functionality if the application already
exposes the action via the desktop file - don't add our own entry
in that case.

Because there's nothing (in single-monitor setups) that could
take the drop in this case.
* js/ui/appDisplay.js:
AllView._loadApps(), FrequentView._loadApps(): Pass
an isDraggable parameter when creating the AppIcons,
depending on whether the favorite-apps key is locked.
AppIcon._init(): Check for isDraggable in the params and
do not create _draggable if it was specified, to prevent a
drag from starting.
AppIcon.popupMenu(): Check _draggable before trying to call
fakeRelease on it.
* js/ui/dash.js: Dash._createAppItem(): Check AppIcon._draggable
before trying to connect to its signals.

In a lockdown scenario, where the favorite-apps GSettings key is not
writable, hide the menu items for adding and removing favorites from the

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741325
There is currently no simple way to inject into AppIcon's state change,
so an extension that wants to do this has to destroy/remove/update all
icons in the Shell (i.e. in the Dash, AllView, FrequentView) on enable()
and disable() after updating AppIcon.prototype._onStateChange, or the
extension must require a restart of the Shell.
To solve this issue, we rename _onStateChanged to _updateRunningStyle,
and connect the notify::state signal with an anonymous function that
calls _updateRunningStyle.
This extra function call should allow extensions to just extend the
updateRunningStyle function in the prototype.

Trying to open an empty folder currently leaves the parent view in a
rather confused state. While we should look into fixing this in the

Trust the heuristics in shell_app_can_open_new_window() to get it right
more often than not, and add an appropriate check in activate(). This
makes the behavior consistent with the dash, e.g. we will try to open
a new window (and show the corresponding animation) for apps that don't
have a "New window" item in their dash context menu.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736329
Providers that need drag-and-drop behavior can implement this via the
createResultObject() hook (as the app search provider already does), no
need to duplicate that code in the generic result objects
(ListSearchResult already does not implement DND).

Following design mockups, animate the icons on AllView, FrequentView,
Dash and Search to zoom out when opening a new window of the app or when

Given that we animate indicator in, it makes sense to animate them out
as well.
Also make possible animating indicators between view changes as well.

Following design decision, we want to animate AllView and FrequentView
when opening and closing with a swarm spring form.
This involves a few changes needed to allow that, since from some time
now, we are animating page changes in viewSelector, using only a fade
transition. However now we want to let appDisplay and iconGrid apply its
own animation.
For that we special case the change to and from apps page on
viewSelector to let appDisplay to animate its own items, using and API
on appDisplay which at the same time uses an API on iconGrid.
Thanks Florian Müllner for the debugging work
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734726
Add a new animation to folder view based on designers mockups that

We were setting the value of adjustment on size changes, but we weren't
changing the page value, so adjustment and page value was not in sync.
To fix it, make sure adjustment of the view is in sync with the page
value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734680
Currently the indicators are a BoxLayout inside a BinLayout in AllView.
BinLayout doesn't have any size constraint, so if the indicators request
a bigger size than AllView the entire overview is grown, causing the
overview to go crazy.
To avoid that, create an actor for the page indicators that request as
minimum size 0, and as a natural size, the sum of all indicators natural
sizes. Then we clip_to_allocation, so it doesn't grow more than the
parent.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723496
If the application reports itself as single window (through

Unlike for the main app view, where we only move the key focus once the
users starts navigating, the key focus is moved immediately when opening
a folder popup. This is unexpected, so make app folders consistent with
the main view.
As arrow keys will not work while the container itself has key focus, we
handle those explicitly by translating them to TAB_FORWARD and
TAB_BACKWARD respectively.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731477
Commit 5d00c1a5ee moved app folder popups to GrabHelper - for some
reason, the line that ensures the current behavior of only considering
events inside the app picker to dismiss popups got lost ...
As clicks outside the app picker should still be handled normally
while clicks inside should dismiss the popup, we cannot make full
use of GrabHelper. However using it at least for focus handling
fixes some minor details we are getting wrong, for instance not
restoring the previous focus after dismissing a folder popup.
Currently, our logic for page panning isn't great. If the user starts a
pan upwards and hesitates over a new page, we'll go to the *next* page
on release, since the difference is greater, but the velocity wound down
to 0.
Instead of trying to treat it like page down or scrolls, simply do the
math to find the page where the user scrolled to.
This is unfortunately broken for fast swipes, since the user doesn't get
far enough into the new page to make a difference. I'm getting the
impression we'll need a gesture recognizer for this, though, however
crude. Simple hacks I tried, like a velocity multiplier, didn't work
properly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729064
We often call goToPage like:
this.goToPage(this._currentPage - 1);
(or + 1). During panning, these are based on the velocity values
of the gesture action. If we're already on the first or last page
and the panning ends, it's possible to get goToPage that's either
-1 or greater than the last page.
During normal usage, this isn't a problem, since the Y values will
be correct, always. But when panning, the Y values stick to the
finger, and thus if we return early, we won't snap to the exact page,
making it seem like things get "stuck".
Fix this the simple way by clamping to the correctly-ranged values
of pageNumber
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729064
Folders use a 2x2 grid of the first 4 app icons as icon - if a folder
contains less apps, we currently skip the corresponding grid positions.
As a result, the overall size request may be smaller than the one for
other icons, making the folder icon look out of place.
Fix this by always using a full grid as folder icon, using dummy actors
as necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726322
With the switch to a table layout in commit f959cafb36, setting
alignments to place the individual icons at the outer edge of the grid
stopped working. Remove that code and add some explicit spacing instead.

Add more time to the fade in/out animation when switching

The current middle-click action of opening a new window on a new
workspace is a bit peculiar; it is also not overly hard to achieve
the same result by moving a new window to the desired workspace or
selecting a workspace before opening a new window. Just opening
a new window is also a more common action, so having a shortcut
available that doesn't require a modifier is a good idea as well;
change the middle-click behavior accordingly.

Having terminal launchers behave differently than any other launchers
is non-obvious and confusing. Remove the special-casing to restore

If the user mostly uses the All Apps view and uses it as his default view,
we shouldn't reload frequent data after a timeout. Simply do it when the
view is mapped.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723179
get_categories() returns an unparsed string, not a list of categories.
We need to parse the list by splitting on ';' to deterine whether the
actual 'TerminalEmulator' category is in the list, rather than something
like 'X-GNOME-TerminalEmulator'. It's an edge case, but I need to split
the list properly for the new folders, so I might as well fix this.

Using the new list_actions() API in Gio, add entries for static

Rather than GMenu / app-folder-categories. This removes our last use of

Instead of having _compareItems, _getItemId, etc. on the view to
pull out info about items, use the AppIcon / FolderIcon items we

'.name' property to sort by.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722117
One of the most frequent complaints about our launching behaviour is
how we handle terminals. Among all MDI applications, the terminal is
the one that is most likely to have lots of semi-independent windows
opened at the same time, and spawning new windows is much more common.
More so, if it does not support tabs.
Therefore, we special case terminal launchers to always create a new
window. It is an application that most non-technical users will not
use, so chances of them being confused by any special behaviour is
expected to be low.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695010
Filtering out "non-interesting" windows beforehand as we currently do

Long ago, the search system worked in a synchronous manner: providers
were given a query, and results were collected in a single array of
[provider, results] pairs, and then the search display was updated
from that.
We introduced an asynchronous search system when we wanted to potentially
add a Zeitgeist search provider to the Shell in 3.2. For a while, search
providers were either async or sync, which worked by storing a dummy array
in the results, and adding a method for search providers to add results
later.
Later, we removed the search system entirely and ported the remaining
search providers to simply use the API to modify the empty array, but the
remains of the synchronous search system with its silly array still
lingered.
Finally, it's time to modernize. Promises^WCallbacks are the future.
Port the one remaining in-shell search engine (app search) to the new
callback based system, and simplify the remote search system in the
process.
When we create a result actor, cache it, so it can be used for
subsearches of the same initial. For now, to keep memory usage
and the stage graph relatively clean, don't persist the actors
across searches, but maybe we should do this in the future.
This also means that we don't query getResultMetas for items
that we've seen in the same initial search.

The application picker will always open with the view that was last
selected during the session, but the selection is reset on each
restart. This results in some annoyance for users that use the
ALL view exclusively, as they have to toggle views once each
session - the same would apply to exclusive FREQUENT view users
were the defaults to be changed, so the best solution is to simply
make the selected view persistent by storing it in GSettings.

Previously the animation was not entirely according to the mockup.
Now we are closer to the mockup.
The padding for the indicators are decremented, since we need that
to make the animation not too quick. As a drawback, maybe visually
is not as good as before, or the area to click dots is too much little.
Just make that change for now and test it widely, and we can change
that after.

The original position was calculated with the stage and the

We need to adjust the offset of close buttons, in case the box
pointer has the arrow at the top. To do so, extend close buttons

For extremely silly reasons with how the class framework works, the wrapper
method requires "this" to be bound in order for it to work, or else we'll

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707892
Just as we do in AllView, we set the offset of FolderViews' fade
effect so that no icon is faded when a full page is visible.
This works fine in AllView, however in the FolderView case where
the popup's offsets eat away from the available fade height, the
effect ends up being barely noticeable at all.
While it is not ideal to apply the fade to the edge of a "full page",
it looks less ugly than the current state, so pick the lesser evil ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707662
Since now if you focus the indicators, you can't scroll and
change pages in the app picker. That was reported as odd from
some users/developers.
So allow to scroll when the focus is in the indicators.

ClutterActor::scroll-event has a boolean return value to indicate
whether the event has been handled, or event emission should continue.
Now that we are using an StScrollView, we depend on this to avoid
propagating the event to the view's own handler.

It doesn't make sense to show the indicators in that case, so
don't show them. This has been the design in the first place,
but the code that did that was lost at some point during review ...

The frequent view is not useful when it doesn't contain any applications
yet. While the previously added label makes this state appear less like

Similar to adapting the spacing dynamically to the available
space we already do, scale down icon sizes if the grid is too
small to fit the requested minimum number of rows/columns.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
IconGrid has never really been a general purpose container, but has
always been used in conjunction with BaseIcon. IconGrid will soon
gain the ability to adjust the item size dynamically to adapt to the
available space, which will require that we can make some more
assumptions about the items added to the grid (namely: we need
access to BaseIcon's setIconSize() method).
So change addItem() to take an object instead, which should have
an actor and a (BaseIcon) icon property.
Based on a patch by Carlos Soriano.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
The popup of the FolderView is now contained inside
the parent view, solving the overflow of apps with a ScrollView.
Also, solved a lot of bugs in popup/FolderView calculation
of position and size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
Add a property to also add the calculated spacing
around the grid.
This will allow FolderView to be aligned with the
main grid without cutting off any of the surrounding
boxPointer decorations or the close button
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
When we adapt the grid to different display sizes,
we don't want the number of displayed items to get
too small. In the future we will scale down icons to
make sure that the grid fits add least minRows
x minColumns items, but for now we only take the
properties into account when calculating the dynamic spacing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
Organize applications in AllView by pages using the new PaginatedIconGrid
added previously. Pagination is generally a better pattern for collections
than scrolling, as it better suits spacial memory.
Hook into AppDisplay's allocation function to communicate the available
size to the different views before child allocations - this is only
required by the paginated view (as pages must be computed before
calling get_preferred_height/get_preferred_width), but doing it for
all views will guarantee that their dynamic spacing calculation is
based on the same values.

Before, the text of those buttons were truncated when the text exceeded

pushResults, and the original async search API, were originally intended
so search results that weren't immediate could be added as they come in.
Since then, we've decided that the design of search results is that they
should finish at once with all results. Thus, the code was modified so
that pushResults always overwrote the current result set. As such, it makes
sense to rename the method so that the name matches the behavior.

As the close button of folder popups overlaps at the top, it ends
up being cut off if the folder is located at the very top of the
view. Fix this glitch by taking the button's overlap into account
in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694371
We already take care of growing the view if open folders overlap
at the bottom, however folder popups may still end up being cut
off when opening above the source icon - if the popup is high enough,
its y coordinate will be negative and therefore outside the parent's
allocation. To fix, we can either make sure that folders pop up below
their source icon in that case, or adjust the parent grid's position
as necessary while a folder is open. This implements the latter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694371
If the view doesn't fill the available space, content should still
start at the top rather than the center - not least the positioning
code for folder popups assumes that, so set the appropriate expand
flags.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694371
Currently we stop monitoring application usage when disabling the
'enable-app-monitoring' setting, but we still expose previously
gathered data in the app picker's frequent view. This is not what
users should expect, so hide the view in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699714
When opening an application folder, it should take key focus to
allow for keynav; also, Escape closing both folder and app picker

Filter out all applications which have the NoDisplay, Hidden or
Not/OnlyShowIn bits, as those are not meant to be launched directly.
This also allows the user to filter apps from the frequent view
using alacarte.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696949
ClutterBinLayout uses the maximum width/height of all children in
size requests and positions children according to the expand/align
properties. This means that the vertical position of folder popups
is not considered in size requests, so if the main view is smaller
than a folder popup's height and offset, the popup will be truncated
and/or mispositioned. Fix those cases by using a custom LayoutManager
that behaves like ClutterFixedLayout for height requests and like
ClutterBinLayout otherwise.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694371
If the AllView is scrolled, the vertical scrollbar will take away
some horizontal space on one side, resulting in the content ending
up slightly off-center.
Account for this by using overlay-scrollbars instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694261
The frequent view should not be scrolled, but to work around the
icon grid overflowing, we used a (non-scrolling) scroll view anyway.
Now that IconGrid:fillParent allows us to avoid overflow, we can
remove this hack.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694256
PopupMenuManager eats the next release event, which would otherwise close
the menu, so we need to tell dnd that we're handling it, and no drag should

The arrow origin must be in the coordinate space of the box pointer,
but it cannot be calculated when the box pointer is shown, because it's

According to the design mockups, the app picker should follow the
recent view pattern as used by applications, where the user is first
offered a subset of applications he/she is likely to start, and only
then allow switching to the full set of installed applications.
So implement the ability to manage several views in AppDisplay and add
FrequentView as additional view, which uses the existing ShellAppUsage
to display a list of frequently used applications.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
While a group is open, we want to block events on items underneath,
but still allow interaction with components outside the app display
as well as scrolling of the view as a whole.

App folders are intended for grouping some applications, not to
assign a category to every single application, so we will only
create folders for a selected subset of the existing categories.
Software/Alacarte will eventually allow to create/modify those
folders, so store the setting in GSettings so that it can be
shared with those applications.

AllView will be updated to allow app folders in addition to app

AppIcon is just a tiny wrapper around BaseIcon, which does not add

The only case when we're interested in using those parameters nowadays
is for DnD, which is handled in a separate method already.

We simply hide the label when the popup is opened instead of relying

We explicitly include NoDisplay applications in the ShellAppSystem because
we want app tracking for them, but we explicitly filter NoDisplay applications
out when showing them to the user because we don't want to show them to the
user. We also based our "All" apps view on a flattened list of apps. While
we did check for NoDisplay on the app item itself, we didn't check against
its parents. Refactor the app display view to not use a separate flat list

As shown in the previous commits, synchronous search is easily implemented
by the asynchronous search API. The only reason we still have a
synchronous search API is of historical reasons. Well, we're not a museum,
and git log can keep our fossils safe if need be....

Instead of using an St.Tooltip to show the app's name under the icon,
manually position a new St.Label ourselves. Make sure to keep the label
hidden when right-clicking so it doesn't get in the way of the popup menu.
Only one tooltip/label will be displayed at a time.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
All classes that have at least one other derived class (and thus
benefit from the framework) have been now ported. These includes
NMDevice, SearchProvider, AltTab.SwitcherList, and some other
stuff around.

The Lang module in gjs has recently gained a small yet powerful
Class framework, that should help improve the readability of code
when using complex inheritance.
This commit starts porting shell code, by rewriting all classes in
popupMenu.js (and all derived classes) to Lang.Class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.

The dash object is currently exposed as a public object.
It's only used outside of the overview for the dash object's
iconSize property though.
This commit makes the dash object private and proxies the dash
iconSize property to the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657082
Since almost all of the callers of shell_app_activate were using the
default workspace (by passing -1), remove that parameter.
Add a new shell_app_activate_full() API which takes a workspace as
well as a timestamp; previously we might have been ignoring event
timestamps from elsewhere.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648149
This dramatically thins down and sanitizes the application code.
The ShellAppSystem changes in a number of ways:
* Preferences are special cased more explicitly; they aren't apps,
they're shortcuts for an app), and we don't have many of them, so
don't need e.g. the optimizations in ShellAppSystem for searching.
* get_app() changes to lookup_app() and returns null if an app isn't
found. The semantics where it tried to find the .desktop file
if we didn't know about it were just broken; I am pretty sure no
caller needs this, and if they do we'll fix them.
* ShellAppSystem maintains two indexes on apps (by desktop file id
and by GMenuTreeEntry), but is no longer in the business of
dealing with GMenuTree as far as hierarchy and categories go. That
is moved up into js/ui/appDisplay.js. Actually, it flattens both
apps and settings.
Also, ShellWindowTracker is now the sole reference-owner for
window-backed apps. We still do the weird "window:0x1234beef" id
for these apps, but a reference is not stored in ShellAppSystem.
The js/ui/appDisplay.js code is rewritten, and sucks a lot less.
Variable names are clearer:
_apps -> _appIcons
_filterApp -> _visibleApps
_filters -> _categoryBox
Similarly for function names. We no longer call (for every app) a
recursive lookup in GMenuTree to see if it's in a particular section
on every category switch; it's all cached.
NOTE - this intentionally reverts the incremental loading code from
commit 7813c5b93f. It's fast enough
here without that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648149
The specs call for a 2 pixel gap between the panel and its menus,
though we need to specify this as 4 pixels, since it's relative to the
bottom of the icon/title, not the bottom of the panel (up until now,
the point of the menu arrow was actually overlapping the menu's
highlight underline).
Also, move the gap specification into the CSS, since it makes more
sense there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655627
Theme authors now have the power (and responsibility) of creating fade
effects with the new CSS length property '-st-fade-offset'. A value of
0 disables the effect.
This new CSS approach replaces the current programmatic toggle of
the 'vfade' property. A new CSS style class name 'vfade' is used as
a replacement for the old property.

A "cosmetic" code arrangement I requested in code review resulted
in one too few items being removed from the queue for each incremental
chunk of icons added. Fix.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648739
ViewByCategories._removeAll clears the sections, but the filter passed
to view still expects them to exists. Therefore, refresh the view
after the section has been rebuilt and the All filter reapplied.

While we have menu for an app icon open, we want to show the prelight
for the item instead of removing the prelight when the user mouses
away from the item and into the menu, and if there's a tooltip
(like for the dash), we want to show the tooltip immediately when
the menu is popped up.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642871
When right-clicking on an AppWellIcon, the icon will become focused,
which (presumably via style-changed) invalidates its current
allocation, causing "icon.y" to return 0 until it has been
reallocated, messing up our idea of where in the AppDisplay the icon
is. Work around this by calling get_allocation_box() instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645162
Add Ctrl-Alt-Tab support to ViewTab, and fix the Applications pane to
scroll to track the keyboard focus.
The Windows pane can be switched to, but navigation within the pane is
not yet implemented.

Search results' meta info currently is expected to have an 'icon'
property holding a Clutter.Texture of a fixed icon size. This
property is used to implement the createIcon() function of BaseIcon,
which is used to actually display the result, ignoring the size
parameter due to the fixed icon size.
Given that all available search providers create this property for
the desired icon size using a function with the same signature, it
appears logical to replace the fixed-sized 'icon' property with
such a function, so that the icon size will be defined by the display
actor rather than the search system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643632
Currently section headers in the search view are reactive and run
the corresponding provider's expandSearch() function when clicked,
which should launch an external program displaying all search
results for the section. Unfortunately it is only implemented for
the "Settings" provider, and does not work properly (as it ignores
the search and just launches System Settings).
Also current mockups deemphasize the section header, making the
feature pretty much indiscoverable (except by accident when
interfering with swipe-scrolling).
In conclusion, the feature does not make much sense in its current
form, so remove it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643632
As gnome-shell now switched to use the menu file from gnome-menus,
we no longer have direct control over category names. If such a name
contains unescaped markup, the shell will crash when trying to create
the filter label, so make sure to escape markup in category names.
As the dash is one of the primary drop targets for dragging application
launchers, it's reasonable to use the dash icon size for app icons'
drag actors, especially with the larger size now used in the application
view.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639428
The view might get mapped before the filters have been added, so
trying to reset to the "All" filter will throw an exception. Fix
by only do the reset if the filters have been initialized.
When switching to the app view, it is unlikely that a user is
going to select an application from the same filter list as the
last time the view was used, so reset the view to the "All" filter
on switch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641987
When switching to the application view, the view is still scrolled
to the position it had when left previously. Given that it is rather
unlikely that the application the user wants to select is located close
to that position, it appears beneficial to start at a predictable
position, so make sure that the scroll position is always reset to
the top.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641987
With workspace thumbnails, we don't switch workspaces when dragging windows
between workspaces or adding new workspaces, so we also shouldn't switch
on launch.
* Add workspace parameters to shell_doc_system_open(),
shell_app_activate, shell_app_open_new_window()
* Pass a 'params' object when activating items in the overview with
two currently defined parameters: workspace and timestamp. (timestamp
is only implemented where it is easy and doesn't require interface
changes - using the global current timestamp for the shell is almost
always right or at least good enough.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640996
With automatic workspace management, explicit controls to add and
remove workspaces are no longer necessary. We also can remove the
use of addWorkspace for middle-button-click on a launcher since
launching on the last empty workspace will do the right thing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640996
When checking the type of a DND source, instead of checking
'instanceof Workspaces.WindowClone' accept any actor with realWindow
and metaWindow properties. This will be useful to support a separate
type of actor dragged from workspace thumbnails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640996
For historical reasons, we had both StClickable and StButton, which
were nearly identical. StButton was more widely-used, so keep that and
port all StClickable users to that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640583
With general support for swipe-scrolling in the overview, there is
no reason to limit the behavior to workspaces. It is equally useful
for scrolling through the grid of available applications, so enable
swipe-scrolling for the app view.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635034
AppWellIcon is used both in the dash and view selector. As the dash
requires manual sizing, it is not possible to set the icon size used
in the view selector in the CSS, but icons will use the default size
(unless set manually as in the dash).
Expose the params parameter of BaseIcon and enable manual resizing
only for AppWellIcons in the dash.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639428
The popup menus of application icons in both the dash and the app view
are positioned on the right of the icon. In the case of the dash this
results in the menu being displayed off-screen in RTL locales, so move it
to the opposite side instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635645
Current mockups display all search results as icons as used by
application results, so change the default result display to use
iconGrid/BaseIcon. Remove the custom application results display,
as it is no longer needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
Being no longer an independent menu pane, both the toggle() and
close() functions are no longer needed, and the view's structure
can be simplified a bit.
Also update the style to fit into the view selector.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The new dash implementation is a single-column vertical sidebar,
whose items are scaled dynamically to fit the available height.
If the height is still exceeded after scaling down to a minimum
item size, excess items are cut off.
The now unused old dash implementation is renamed to OldDash, as
its code will be used as a base for the new view selector element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
Each menu is a focus manager group, but there is also some explicit
focus handling between non-hierarchically-related widgets. Eg, to move
between menus, or from a menubutton into its menu.

All mockups now use a representation for documents/places similar to
the one used for applications. Rename AppIcon to BaseIcon and move its
code together with WellGrid out of appDisplay to stress their general
usefulness.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625887
Extend WellGrid with an optional rowLimit parameter and an accessor
function for the grid's items, then use it to replace the custom
container used to display the application search results.
Also adjust the spacing of the search results slightly to make it
consistent with the app well.

"text-align" allows setting the alignment of text, with respect to
other lines and allocated space, without requiring a reference to
the ClutterText (which is private for most widgets).
If not specified, all text is left-aligned.

First, we were passing an incorrect timestamp to
meta_display_focus_the_no_focus_window - fix that.
The invocation of set_focus_app to the started app there couldn't
really work, because (if the above call had worked) we'd get the
X reply *after* the started app.
What we need to untangle here is the distinction that's now made in
ShellApp between _STATE_STARTING and _STATE_RUNNING. A nice way to
start doing this is to rebase ShellWindowTracker to only be concerned
with app states. Concretely, the current "has windows implies
running" logic now lives just inside shell-app.c.
Rename the app-running-changed signal to be app-state-changed. This
will ultimately be useful so that inside the panel, we can track
the last started app.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620899
As the design calls for smooth transitions whenever possible, use
a similar fade effect for the all-apps and more-docs menus as for
the panel menus.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620775
When the app well doesn't contain any applications, it displays a placeholder text
to indicate that it's a drop target. When porting WellGrid from St.Bin to St.BoxLayout,
the call to set_child() to set the text was overlooked.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617281
Currently, only the base style class is set in the constructor, the
style update according to the state of the represented app is deferred
until the actor is shown.
As existing icons are destroyed and recreated when the number of icons
changes, this behavior causes the icons of running apps to flicker if
CSS transitions are used.
Set the style directly in the constructor and update the code to not
delay style updates until the actor is shown - StWidget does defer
expensive calculations until the actor is mapped anyway.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620782
Separate out the main app view into different sections based on the categories
in the desktop file. The configuration is done via gmenu and the desktop menu
specification, we set XDG_MENU_PREFIX="gs-" on startup, so that gmenu reads
gs-applications.menu, which we install.
There is no support for "submenus" - only the menus directly under
Applications will be displayed as categories.

When dragging windows in linear view, the workspace zooms out to
allow moving the window to other workspaces. Enable the same

This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
It was previously possible to add a workspace above the maximum workspaces
limit by dragging an item to the "add workspace" button or using the middle
mouse button click.
Provide the user with feedback in the info bar when it is not possible to create

This ensures that we launch the new instance of an application on the newly
added workspace in the grid view, in which we don't make the newly added
workspace active by default.

Allow using the middle mouse button to open a new instance of an

In preparation for adding magnification, "uiGroup.patch", organizes the stage
along the following lines:
Stage
*Magnifier
UI group
Window group
Chrome group
Overlay group
Alt tab
App display
Chrome
...
This allows a magnifier actor to clone and magnify the UI group. The magnifier
is a sibling of the UI Group in this stage oraganization -- see the next patch,
"Magnifier.patch".
This patch combines several high level changes which are conceptually
independent but in practice rather intertwined.
* Add a "state" property to ShellApp which reflects whether it's
stopped, starting, or started. This will allow us to later clean
up all the callers that are using ".get_windows().length > 0" as
a proxy for this property
* Replace shell_app_launch with shell_app_activate and shell_app_open_new_window
A lot of code was calling .launch, but it's signficantly clearer
if we call this ".open_new_window()", and later if we gain the ability
to call into an application's menu, we can implement this correctly rather
than trying to update all .launch callers.
* Because ShellApp now has a "starting" state, rebase panel.js on top of
this so that when we get a startup-notification sequence for an app
and transition it to starting, it becomes the focus app, and panel.js
cleanly just tracks the focus app, rather than bouncing between SN
sequences. This removes display of non-app startup sequences, which
I consider an acceptable action in light of the committed changes
to startup-notification and GTK+.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614755
Also, remove a lot of cruft from genericDisplay.js leftover from
previous St-ifications, and remove the pre-gtk-2.16 hacks from the
status tray in panel.js (which are much less needed with the
nearly-all-black panel anyway).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614516
The actual changes to shell-menu.[ch] are pretty minimal; most of the
changes there are just style/spacing/indentation.
Also, removed shell_menu_append_separator() since it wasn't needed;
the separators would already have been behaving as intended just
because they were non-reactive.
