Redo the way that the summary item expand/collapse animation works so
that the items all resize in unison so that when moving from one to
another, the summary area as a whole stays a constant width rather
than wobbling slightly.
(Also rename all references to the "minimum" summary item title width,
since it's not a minimum, it's just the width.)

This fixes the bug when the body would be missing from the expanded notification
that has a short body that used to fit in the one-line banner and is expandable
because it has action buttons.
We always want to add the banner to the body of an expandable notification,
unless the notification has custom content. We used to only do that when
creating this._scrollArea for the content. We should also do that when creating
this._actionArea .
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631566
It's possible that an item that was added to the summary got removed before
we had a chance to show the summary because the user has interacted with
the notification (e.g. clicked on an application ready notification). We should
not be showing the summary with an unchanged set of items in this case.
However, it is possible that multiple items were added to the summary before
we had a chance to show the summary, and only some of them got removed. In view
of this scenario, we can't just use a boolean flag to indicate if the summary
needs to be shown, but have to maintain an array of new summary items instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630939
Having the summary pop up automatically after a source icon has been
removed is pretty useless ("Hey, there was something interesting going
on, but you missed it and it's gone now, kthxbye").
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630939
Icons can be loaded as St.Icon.SYMBOLIC, FULLCOLOR, APPLICATION or
DOCUMENT. The first will look for a symbolic equivalent, the second
looks for a full-color version (and does fallback, eg, from
"drive-harddisk-usb" to "drive-harddisk"). APPLICATION and DOCUMENT do
full-color icons without fallback (as specified by the icon spec).
And update various callers to use the right flags.
Based on a patch from Matt Novenstern.

Previously we were hiding the banner label if the title was too long,
but this causes queue_relayout() warnings. Instead, just set its
opacity to 0.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629308
This patch ensures the following notifications behavior:
- Urgent notifications that have long title or banner text are auto-expanded
correctly.
- Single-line notifications that have _expandNotification() called (e.g.
because the user mouses over to them), are treated as expanded, which means
they get fully expanded if they are updated with more content and the user
can escape them.
- The position of expanded notifications is updated when they are updated.
- Notification banner is shown again on the first line if it can fully fit
there after a notification is updated, even if it was previously hidden
because the notification was expanded and the old banner did not fully fit.
- New notifications are immediately hidden if the user mouses away from them.
- If a new notification is updated while it is shown, we extend the time it
will be shown.
- If a new notification is updated while it is hiding, we stop hiding it and
show it again.
- If a summary notification is updated while it is hiding, we let it finish
hiding and show a new notification with the updated information.
Implementation details:
- Single-line notifications now have 4px bottom padding instead of 8px, which
means that their height matches the tray height, they are fully shown in the
banner mode, and don't pop out by 4px when the notification is expanded.
- Notification keeps a flag that indicates whether it is expanded, updates
its expanded look when it is updated, and emits an 'expanded' signal
indicating that its layout has possibly changed. The message tray connects
to this 'expanded' signal when it is showing a notification in the expanded
state and updates the position of the notification accordingly when this
signal is received so that the notification is fully shown. This is better
than connecting to 'notify::height' signal on the notification bin, since
it results in fewer callbacks.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617209
Expanding notifications automatically just because they popped up where
the pointer is positioned distracts the user. It can also lead to a behavior
that is surprising to the user by, for example, making the user's input
switch to the notification's text entry box.
It is possible to expand a notification that popped up over the pointer
by mousing away from it and then mousing back in immediately.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617209
We used to keep long titles ellipsized when a notification was expanded,
which was a bug. We now show them fully by line wrapping them.
Based on the original patch from Steven Van Bael.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623970
We used 'bannerBody' flag to differentiate the case when we move the banner to
the body when the notification is expanded from the one when we don't do that
and only use the custom content set for the notification, as is the case for
Telepathy notifications. We also always cleared the content of the notification
on update when bannerBody was set to true.
Flag named 'customContent' reflects the use case for it more clearly. The
comments that accompany it were also updated and improved.
We now always add the banner text as the first element in the expanded
notification unless 'customContent' flag is set to true.
If the 'body' parameter is specified, we use it in addition to the banner
text. The earlier version of the code had a bug that resulted in the 'body'
parameter not being set only in the case when the 'bannerBody' was set to
true and the banner text had newlines in it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623970
The banner should not be appearing briefly when we are hiding the notification.
For that, we should only restore the opacity of the banner in popInCompleted()
when we are done hiding the notification. We do need to restore the opacity
in case the notification is updated and is shown in the banner mode again.
The banner should not be appearing briefly when we are showing the notification
in the summary mode. For that, we should not use the animation time to fade out
the banner in popOut() for summary notifications.
These two problems were particularly visible when the ANIMATION_TIME was increased.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623970
The old calculation did not take into account the icon and the spacing
between columns. This resulted in the notifications that had a slightly
longer title/banner combination than could actually fit not being expandable.
The new calculation is done in _bannerBoxAllocate() so
that we don't need to hardcode which other elements are present.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627985
A Source needs exactly one summary icon (which in the case of a
trayicon-based source won't even be just an image), but possibly many
notification icons, which may vary for successive notifications
(particularly in the case of NotificationDaemon notifications). So
differentiate these cases in the API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627303
The tray itself does not actually need them, and to make status icon
sources work correctly the NotificationDaemon will need to be tracking
its sources by two separate IDs, so the existing system won't work.
Also remove MessageTray.removeSourceByApp(), which is
NotificationDaemon-specific, and implement the functionality in
notificationDaemon.js instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627303
When calling Notification.update, reuse the previous _bannerBox and
related labels (only changing the label content and relayouting), so
that the opacity set on popOut is preserved. As a consequence, updating
an opened notification no longer shows (or flicker) the banner at the
top.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625502
It is not obvious that only the icon is clickable to activate the
default action - in fact, with the area being that tiny, many don't
even know that notifications can be clicked.
Just extend the clickable area to the whole notification.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613932
In addition to already grabbing focus in the summary notifications,
we also want to grab focus in the new notifications when the user
hovers over them and expands them.
The notifications that expand automatically will only get focus once
the user hovers over them. The notifications that don't expand will
never grab focus because they don't need it.
Make sure that we toggle the way we grab focus when switching between
the overview and the main mode. This is necessary because, unlike
summary notifications that pop down when the user moves between the two
modes, new notifications keep being shown as long as the user hovers
over them or until they time out.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617224
Because clicking on the summary item to have it display its notification
is a more deliberate action than hovering, we can now grab focus in that
notification. This makes chat notifications in the summary more convenient
to use because you don't need to click on the text entry there.
We pop down the notification when the user clicks anywhere outside of it,
triggers the overview, or the run dialog.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617224
This ensures that the summary appears when we are showing a new
notification and switch to the overview at the same time.
Another effect of this patch is that the summary is shown if the
user moves the mouse to the bottom right corner while a notification
is being shown, which is ok.
We need to only connect to 'action-invoked' on notification once
when the notification is created. We were accumulating callbacks
otherwise, which resulted, for example, in the Rhythmbox skipping
through multiple tracks when the 'Next' button was hit.
Always be sure to destroy the notification when its source is
destroyed, which is the case when an action is invoked.
Note that in the future, we might not want to destroy the source
for some notifications when an action is invoked. For example,
it makes sense to keep Rhythmbox in the tray while the music is
playing and allow the user to use the controls from the summary
notification too.
This is part of the design update for the message tray.
Source now takes an extra argument called 'title'.
All expanded message tray items are same width, which is determined by
the width of the item with the longest title, up to MAX_SOURCE_TITLE_WIDTH.
This is done so that items don't move around too much when one is expanded
and another one is collapsed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617224
Currently we only relayout when the screen size changes, this gets
the cases where a monitor gets added/removed but not when the primary
monitor changes.
We need to relayout on all monitor layout changes.
Remove ShellGlobal::screen-size-changed signal as it is no longer used, Gdk is
used to track changes now.
A ShellGlobal::gdk-screen property is added for this purpose.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620377
There are some places in the code where we use both fixed positioning
and CSS. Currently we use either a combination of ClutterGroup and StBin,
or we uses StBoxLayout with fixed positioning. Replace those with the new
StGroup container.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613907
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.
Previously we used a ClutterGroup containing a second ClutterGroup for
the non-visibleInOverview actors. Redo it using a single
ShellGenericContainer, and use set_skip_paint() to hide the
non-overview chrome when the overview is visible.
Also fix up the default values for trackActor().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608667
If a notification is about to hide, but the user has moved the mouse
towards it, let it stick around for another second (and so on, until
the mouse either reaches the tray and causes it to be pinned, or stops
moving the mouse toward it).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610071
Figure out if the banner is too long to fit as soon as the
notification's style is set, rather than waiting until allocation
time, since it's bad to add new table rows during allocation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611612
When the notificaionBin has an odd width this could result into
loosing pixel aligment (and ugly looking font).
As the notification is already reactive make it non reactive and
remove the use of garvity.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614702
Also reorganizes the notification layout to use an StScrollView; very
tall notifications are now scrolled instead of just taking up more and
more of the screen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608999
Rather than having the notificationBin, summaryBin, and
summaryNotificationBin span the whole width of the screen and just
align their children to the right spot, set their anchor_gravity
appropriately, set their anchor point correctly, and let their width
vary with the width of their child.
Fixes the fact that the area to the left and right of an expanded
notification was reactive, because the notificationBin was invisibly
covering it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612072
St.Widget's new "hover" property takes reactive children into account
when deciding whether or not the pointer has actually left the actor,
so it works better than the code that used to be here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610726
We used to set this._notificationRemoved to false in _hideNotification().
However, the user focusing on the associated application can result in the
source being removed while the notification is hiding, in which case
this._notificationRemoved was set to true and never unset. This resulted in
the next notification only showing up briefly and hiding. Moving setting
this._notificationRemoved to false to _hideNotificationComplete() fixes this
behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611122
Source icons are no longer needed to inform the user about events
having occured in a particular application when (s)he activates the
window - treat that case just as if the user had clicked the source
icon.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610494
Right now notifications are expandable if the length of bannerText
exceeds the notification's width - however, if bannerText contains
newlines, it should be expandable regardless of the length.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610549
We are planning to add Empathy-specific features in the message tray, but in the
meantime we handle Empathy notifications received through the notification daemon
so that their behavior is closer to the eventual design, which is how it was before
we started associating applications with a single source and enabled notification
replacement.
Use the "appName" parameter in notifications to identify the source
rather than the id - use the latter to enable update and removal of
individual notifications as laid out in the desktop notification spec.
This is a rebase of the patch by Florian Müllner.
If the notification body contains '&' it ends up empty and a warning
about an invalid entity is printed on stderr, so our escape code must
handle ampersands as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607375
Right now, the summary starts popping up when the overview has been
shown and starts to disappear when the overview is hidden. Instead,
animate the summary during the overview transition.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610520
Previously, every time _updateState was called, it would make some
change, and so it was necessary to very carefully set up all the calls
to it, to ensure it was always called at exactly the right time. Now,
instead, we keep a bunch of state variables like "_notificationState"
and "_pointerInSummary", and potentially multiple timeouts, and
_updateState looks at all of them and figure out what, if anything,
needs to be changed.
By making the rules about what causes changes more explicit, it will
be easier to change those rules in the future as we add new
functionality.
Also, update the rules a bit, so that notifications can appear while
the summary is visible, and the summary only shows after a
notification if the summary has changed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609765
Previously the banner was only promoted to the body if it got
truncated, but the banner was *always* hidden when expanding the
notification. This meant a message with a short banner, plus
notification buttons, would have no banner text visible when it was
expanded. Fix that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606755
This adds some meaningful functionality to the notification icons in the tray
and in the notification pop-up and allows to switch to the application that
sent the notification.
We get the application from the notification context and set it on the source
for the notification.
Currently the messagetray opens up everytime the user hits the bottom of the screen.
To avoid this "opening by accident" this patch changes the behaviour so that:
1) It only opens when there is a notification showing or
2) When the user hits the summary area (assuming he wants to interact with it)
Includes fixes from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607244#c17https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607244
This helps illustrate that expired notifications move to the summary view.
Animate the separate components of the message tray individually
as in http://www.gnome.org/~mccann/shell/mockups/20090630-demo
Based on the patch from Florian Müllner.
