The high level goal is to separate the concern of searching for
things with display of those things; for example in newer mockups,
applications are displayed exactly the same as they look in the
AppWell.
Another goal was optimizing for speed; for example,
application search was pushed mostly down into C, and we avoid
lowercasing and normalizing every item over and over.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603523
The distinction between the inactive and running was silly; just
have one class which can handle both running states. However for
a future search patch, we do want a separation between an icon which
just has icon + name + glow, and a well icon which does the menu
integration.

We has poor performance if we try to allocate hundreds of actors;
a bit more ideally, we'd keep pulling as much as we can, but really
no one should have more than 50 in the list as is now except on
unreasonably large screen sizes.
In the future we should change this to be pull-on-demand thing
in a chunked fashion.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603522
Rather of calling .exists() synchronously for all documents, use
ShellDocSystem's async API to only stat docs we're showing.
Use the doc opening functionality in ShellDocSystem.
Also, more intelligently do redisplay(); don't recreate actors
for recent docs if we already have one for that URI. We may
need more intelligent caching here; if e.g. just the associated
application changes, we should probably reread the info.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603522
Previously we had various things watching for notify::mapped so
we could be more lazy about updating non-visible actors, but it
was fairly ad-hoc.
The deferred work system unifies these callbacks, and also adds
a timeout so that we don't delay changes arbitrarily; this way we
avoid a storm of work if you stay out of the overview for a while,
then go in.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603522
The altTab.js and app well code weren't sharing really
any functionality anymore; un-merge the appIcon code back
into appWell, and have a simple icon + text display for
altTab.
Port AppWell to St and CSS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
StClickable replaces ShellButtonBox. Reduce the number of
button-like things by deleting button.js.
To do so, add CSS style for the actitivies button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
It's nicer to have ShellDrawingArea as a St widget so it can
participate more cleanly in CSS styling, such as queuing a redraw
automatically on style changes, and allowing subclasses to use
CSS styling.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602131
Some applications show a confirm dialog before closing, which the close
button happily ignores.
Detect newly created windows which are transient for the window we try to
close and switch to them.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602532
We had previously been leaving the scaled workspace at a non-integral
position which didn't look obviously ugly, but now that we're
constraining the popup pane to the workspace size, we really need
to ensure that we're using integral positions here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601854
We need to check if the display actor is an instance of Shell.OverflowList
or St.BoxLayout to use the appropriate function for getting its child
with a given index.
Rather than the popup panes taking up the whole non-panel height,
constrain them to the height of the workspaces, which is also the
"dash content area".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600734
Mostly a straightforward porting of style code to CSS, except
that various bits of other code referenced a few GenericDisplay
constants, so those needed to be ported as well.
Add some padding at the top between the close button and the items.
Center the text and description.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600734
This should not be required, since glib correctly deals with such
applications by giving them the local gvfs path, and those
applications which do support URIs keep being able to use the URIs in
GFiles.

It's very convenient to drill down through object properties and
be able to see exactly which portion of the screen those actors
correspond to, without trying to guess with the inspector tool.
Commit 94bd6f1718 introduced a trick
where we only do the heavy lifting for "redisplay" when we're mapped.
However, the search system wants to get the count of matched items,
and control the visibility of the display based on that. This introduces
a circularity; avoid it by forcing the search to do a redisplay.
In the future we should avoid this by separating out the "get matched
things for search" from "display list of things".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600890
Places is one of the dash sections and it should be included in search results.
Factor out the code for getting and updating the information about places from
Places to PlacesManager.
Introduce PlaceInfo class that contains information about the place and can be
used by classes that display it in different ways. Rename classes so that their
names are consistent with corresponding classes in appDisplay.js and
docDisplay.js
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599125
This make it is easier for the user to figure out on which workspace the
windows are. For instance, terminals related to various activities and put on
different workspaces were previously displayed as an uniform list, with no
visible distinction between the ones from the current workspace and the others.
Now they are physically separated by a thin gray line.
This is also consistent with the way applications are displayed in the
AppSwitcher.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597944
If we're not mapped, only queue up a redisplay. This avoids
e.g. changes in recent documents such as saving a file in GEdit
causing a lot of blocking I/O in the shell (we need to make
recent loading async as well).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599560
First, fix a problem where though we intended to request a minimum
height of 0 for the docs content, we were actually requesting
spacing for all items.
On low resolution screens, we were still attempting to allocate
an item even when we were given 0 height.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596984
For the purposes of determining which application is focused, don't
skip "uninteresting" windows. The old get_focused_window code
was used for usage tracking, but here we want reliable application
association.
Also convert a .text= to .set_text that was missed with the last
patch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599206
The two parts were mapping windows to applications, and
recording application usage statistics. The latter part
(now called ShellAppUsage) is much more naturally built on top of
the former (now called ShellWindowTracker).
ShellWindowTracker retains the startup-notification handling.
ShellWindowTracker also gains a focus-app property, which is
what most things in the shell UI are interested in (instead of
window focus).
ShellAppSystem moves to exporting ShellApp from more of its
public API, rather than ShellAppInfo. ShellAppSystem also
ensures that ShellApp instances are unique by holding
a hash on the ids.
ShellApp's private API is split off into a shell-app-private.h,
so shell-app.h can be included in shell-app-system.h.
Favorites handling is removed from ShellAppSystem, now inside
appFavorites.js.
Port all of the JavaScript for these changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598646
Previously, we had ShellAppInfo, which contains fundamental
information about an application, and methods on ShellAppMonitor
to retrieve "live" information like the window list.
AppIcon ended up being used as the "App" class which was painful
for various reasons; among them that we need to handle window
list changes, and some consumers weren't ready for that.
Clean things up a bit by introducing a new ShellApp class in C,
which currently wraps a ShellAppInfo.
AppIcon then is more like the display actor for a ShellApp. Notably,
the ".windows" property moves out of it. The altTab code which
won't handle dynamic changes instead is changed to maintain a
cached version.
ShellAppMonitor gains some more methods related to ShellApp now.
In the future, we might consider changing ShellApp to be a GInterface,
which could be implemented by ShellDesktopFileApp, ShellWindowApp.
Then we could axe ShellAppInfo from the "public" API and it would
return to being an internal loss mitigation layer for GMenu.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598227
If we had a pending search processing, finish it when the user
activates the entry.
This is a small conceptual change; the large diff is simply
moving the search implementation (unedited otherwise) from
an anonymous inline to a named function so it can be called
sanely in _activate.

POTFILES.in was missing some files.
"Activities" is not easily translatable into some languages, e.g. Russian,
so suggest using the word for "Overview" instead.
The down arrow is shown when an application with more than one
window is selected, but the window list is not always displayed.
This patch fixes the fact that the arrow was not hidden when one
focus an app with a single window when coming from an app with
multiple windows, if the window list was not displayed.

When we get a ClutterModifierType from Clutter, it might contain
bits not in the enumeration. See bug 59771 for a similar problem
with GdkModifierType.
Add a wrapper Shell.get_event_state() around clutter_event_get_state()
to mask these bits out and only return approved bits.

When tweening the overview in, tween it to appear on the correct
position of the primary monitor, not at (0,0); position
the 'backOver' actor to cover all monitors properly.

Being able to display all applications in a category based on the search
string with a category name is generaly useful.
Prepare all the applications that match a search term based on their
category name up-front.
Remove unused this._appCategories and a call to non-existing
itemInfo.get_categories()
gdk_display_get_pointer() sometimes returns values for the mask that
aren't part of the GdkModifierType enumeration, which gjs doesn't like
(bug 597292). Work around that by adding a C wrapper that strips out
the extra flags.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597559
Before we were badly leaking AppIcons by not disconnecting from the
window signal handlers when our actor got destroyed. This caused
us to repeatedly re-sort the windows for each AppIcon that
had ever been displayed with obvious bad consequences.
Besides simply chaining the signals to the lifetime of the AppIcon
actor, we also only do the sorting if we're mapped. This decreases
the amount of work to do in the not-mapped case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597120
Add a "size" parameter to allow changing the AppIcon size, and then
simplify the constructor by taking an object with parameters like
gobject-introspection constructors do, rather than taking a large
number of miscellaneous arguments.

Fix to not trigger a warning like:
JS ERROR: !!! WARNING: 'anonymous function does not always return a value'
by adding a return ""; at the end of the anonymous function.

For some unknown reason we were connecting to app-added and
app-removed on ShellAppMonitor in the AppDisplay class, which
never made any use of the data. Simply don't connect to those
signals for now. In the future we should have AppDisplay
be using the AppIcon class which will more correctly handle
dynamic changes.
In the AppWell, avoid doing the full relayout until we're
actually mapped.

Add String formatting by extending the String object with a
format method.
Now we can do stuff like "Text: %s, %d".format(somevar, 5)
This is required for proper translation of some strings.

This slightly changes the behaviour of the alt+tab window, this way:
when using alt-tab on a workspace that contains two or more windows from
the same window, the application selected when hitting alt+tab is the
currently selected application, but the highlighted window is the next
one.
Intended goal is to make it easier to cycle around windows of the same
application while not having to cycle through all the applications first.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590563
By sorting the windows in the current workspace first, we ensure that
when using alt+tab to switch windows, we will pick a window on the
active workspace as the default focused window for the application if
the application has at least one window on the current workspace (that
is, if it is on the left of the app switcher separator).
This makes the behaviour of alt+tab more predictable for the user, as
an user will expect alt+tab to switch to the window he/she can see right
now rather than the one on the workspace he just left (presumably to do
something else on the workspace he's currently on).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590563
Currently we use 0xefefefff as a background color for non ARGB tray icons,
which looks out of place (i.e does not fit the panel's background gradient).

We were actually showing a menu on button 3 before, but only
through a chain of coincidences. This patch explicitly supports
it and makes sure we show it immediately rather than after
a timeout. Pass the activating button in so that we only pop
down on that button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596371
Also have inactive applications pop up a menu.
Add/Remove from favorites is now in the menu.
Concatenate the favorites/not-favorites instead of having a gap only
