Both the screen shield and the notification section in the message
list create their own UI for notifications rather than using the
notification actor itself. Currently there is no clean way for such
representations to include notification actions - we will need this
as we will soon use a separate actor for banners as well, so keep
track of actions added via addAction().
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.
The panel is not visible when in fullscreen, but critical notifications
may still be shown - having them pop out from where the panel would be
looks unpolished, so adjust the trayBox accordingly.

It was removed as actors that should not affect the input
region can simply be added to the uiGroup instead. However
the property is useful to add non-reactive chrome, but then
use trackChrome() to add a child to the input region.
This reverts commit e62d22a50e.

Occasionally it makes sense to constrain to a monitor's work-area
rather than the entire monitor, so implement that behavior and add
a property to turn it on.

St's hover tracking uses ClutterInputDevice, which unfortunately may use
an outdated cursor position to determine which actor is hovered. Using
MetaCursorTracker instead would fix this, but would require linking St with
libmutter - avoid this for now by manually fixing up Clutter's view of
the pointer position in the case where we rely on it working properly.

While applications can no longer spam the users with a constant stream
of banner notifications, it is still possible to drown the summary in
the message list. Avoid this by limiting the number of notifications a
single source is allowed to display simultaniously.
test-xy-stress in libnotify's tests suddenly became fun again ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
We want to shield users from being overloaded by an overwhelming stream
of notification banners, either due to coming back from idle/lock or
because an application is misbehaving. Previously we replaced all queued
notifications with a summary notification in that case, but now that
notifications appear in the summary immediately, we can simply stop
adding them to the queue and rely on the date menu to convey that
information to the user.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The summary may contain notifications that have not been seen by the user
and won't be shown as banner. Currently this is only the case for resident
notifications that are emitted by the focused app, but it will become more
common as we will start limiting the number of queued notifications.
Indicate to the user that more notifications are available by displaying a
small dot in the top bar button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
Source::count-updated is emitted as notifications are added or removed,
which is correct for the primary notification count. However it is not
for the unseen count, which will also change when a notification is
acknowledged without being removed. At the moment this does not matter,
as the unseen count is only used on the screen shield and notifications
are never acknowledged while the screen is locked. However we will soon
use the unseen count in the normal session as well, so emit the signal
in this case too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The message tray is now empty and about to be removed, so an indication
at the bottom edge of the overview becomes an odd location to convey the
status of the summary. We will eventually display an indication in the
top bar that unseen messages are available, for now just remove the
existing indicator.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
Using a "There are too many notifications" notification is a bit odd,
and we will address the issue differently soon. So rather than update
the notification to do something else than opening the mostly empty and
useless tray when clicked, remove it altogether.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
No Source subclass used it to do anything special, and with sources
no longer having any UI representation on their own, doing anything
else isn't useful either, so just kill off that hook.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
It was a nice feature, but with sources no longer being represented in
the UI, there is no longer a way for users to make use of it. If we want
to bring the feature back in the future, it would probably make more
sense to implement via the chat source's policy anyway.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
Since the summary area was removed from the message tray, Source are not
longer represented in the UI, so right-click menus and summary icons are
no longer a thing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The notification list in the calendar drop-down now functions as summary
area, so we can drop it from the message tray and remove a lot of complexity
from the state machine.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
There is not good reason why activating a GTK+ notification should
behave fundamentally different from fd.o notifications - we don't
raise the app because we expect it to perform an appropriate action,
but that does not include closing overview or calendar for us ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Just like we leave the overview when activating a notification,
the calendar popup should be closed - after all, the only case
where the calendar is open when a notification's default action
is activated is the user clicking an entry in the message list's
notification section.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Display notifications that have not been dismissed in the message
list - eventually this will replace the existing message tray summary.
Notification messages show icon, title and one line of the body and
can be clicked to activate the default action. However they cannot be
expanded, so other actions or the full body text are not accessible
in this mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Since notification support was added to the lock screen, notifications
are no longer necessarily represented by the actual notification actor
anymore. However when an existing notification is updated, external
representations currently become outdated.
Emit an appropriate signal which allows them to update.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
When we will start to show notifications in the date drop-down, we
will not use the actual notification actor, but construct our own UI
based on Calendar.Message. This is similar to what we already do in
the lock screen, except that in this case clicking the notification
should activate the default action.
So rename the existing _onClicked() method to activate() to make it
clear that such use is acceptable. While not strictly necessary, also
rename the corresponding signal to match.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
As the popup's height depends on its content, which itself varies
depending on the selected day, browsing the calendar can result
in distracting size changes. To avoid this, the design calls for
the height to be frozen to the previous one in that case.
As the popup will always open with the current day selected, we
don't have to be very sophisticated and can just lock the popup
to the height corresponding to that day.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
The message list is not only a replacement for the calendar events
list, it will also take over the notification summary from the
message tray. As we start drawing events from other sources than
calendars, hiding it based on whether or not any calendars have
been set up is no longer appropriate, so always include it in the
calendar drop-down now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Turn the existing EventsList into a MessageListSection and add the
message list to the calendar drop-down. The new events list only
displays events for the currently selected day, but in a more
structured and friendlier way than the old one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
The message list is a scrollable list that will hold sections of
different types of time-related messages like notifications,
calendar events or birthday reminders. When no section displays
any content for the selected date, a placeholder is shown instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
We will start using both URLHighlighter and the _fixMarkup() helper
method the same way it's used in MessageTray. Usually we should
make fixMarkup() public and call the existing methods, but we are
planning for them to go away soon, so just keep two copies until
the original one is removed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
We will soon replace regular menu items in the calendar drop-down
with more complex elements.
However there will still be items that should close the drop down
when activated - rather than making the menu available throughout
the hierarchy (and eventually from outside as well when we add the
notifications list), have a public method on a global object just
like the ubiquitous Main.overview.hide().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Menu items are on their way out of the calendar drop down, so let's
start with the easy one. This one is removed without replacement,
but then the Date & Time panel should be a one-time stop for most
users anyway, so not having a direct shortcut should not be much of
a problem. It is also the last remaining Settings item outside the
system menu ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
The new design has the events list on the left and the calendar on the
right, so swap them around and remove the vertical separator between
them in favor of some additional whitespace as in the mockups.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
This used to be the style-class for status icons (i.e. icon-only
top bar items). It got unused a while ago when the class used
by status icons stopped using it - except for the keyboard indicator,
which set the class manually to appear as status icon despite not
being a real icon.
Now that the button highlight is provided by the .panel-button class
on a parent, the obsolete class results in a double border on the
keyboard indicator when active - just drop it from there as well
to fix.
So we can style it differently than :hover.
We already have a active state for the menu items which includes
more than hover. For example, when the keyboard focus moves to a item
or we select programatically a item.
For this reason we need a style class named active for the meaning we
give to it in menu items, and a pseudo class active with the meaning
CSS has.
