When middle-clicking an app icon on the Dash, it will always try to open
a new window of that app, even if the app doesn't support multiple
windows. Meanwhile, Ctrl+click on an app will only open a new window if
the app allows it.
This change prevents middle-clicks on app icons from opening new windows
for apps without multi-window support.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/316
The app icon's context menu contains a list of open windows,
identified by their title. As we currently don't handle the
case where the app didn't set a title, we end up with empty
menu items which looks clearly broken. Fall back to the app's
name in that case.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

While the scale factor is taken into account for app icons, we set
an explicit size when combining the into a folder icon - unless we
take the factor into account, the result will be too small on HiDPI
displays.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792259
Otherwise the smaller icons will try to take too much space since the
texture rendering the icons will be scaled up on HiDPI displays according
to the scale factor, which will push the size of the StBin containing the
texture up, causing them to completely fill the folder's total space.
Explicitly setting the size of the StBin container in this case, in a
similar fashion to what we do when creating the empty placeholders (in
case where there are less than 4 apps in a folder), ensures that each
"cell" of the grid-like widget representing the folder does not take
too much space.

The animation needs the icons' final positions, so we currently defer
it to a ::notify::allocation handler; however as starting the animation
during an allocation cycle would trigger a Clutter warning, it is
further deferred to a MetaLater. While this usually works, it is possible
that the allocation is already valid when we connect the signal, in which
case the animation is triggered at a later unexpected time. Switch to
a more robust ::paint handler instead, which also allows us to get rid
of the double-delay.

While we've always considered it good style to initialize JS properties,
some code that relies on uninitialized properties having an implicit

even though all warnings addressed here occur in conditionals that

If an onComplete handler is passed to animate(), it is set to run at
the end of the animation via the icon grid's ::animation-done signal.
Currently the signal is connected after starting the animation, with
the result that the handler doesn't run when the animation completes
immediately (because there are no icons to animate). Fix this by only
starting the animation after connecting the signal.

We currently assume that the current view matches the 'app-picker-view'
setting. While that is usually the case, there is one notable exception:
While there isn't sufficient usage data (yet), we show all applications

animate the actually visible icons in that case, not the (non-existent)
ones from the hidden frequent view.

Currently scroll events during the swarm animation will make the
grid appear immediately in addition to the animating clones, and
there'll be a mismatch with the icon at the target position. This
badly breaks the illusion of launchers emerging from the dash and

before they form a paginated grid doesn't make much sense anyway,

We assume that applications that export a 'new-window' action can open

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.

Trust the heuristics in shell_app_can_open_new_window() to get it right

We were setting the value of adjustment on size changes, but we weren't

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.

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.

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.

The current middle-click action of opening a new window on a new

the same result by moving a new window to the desired workspace or

get_categories() returns an unparsed string, not a list of categories.
We need to parse the list by splitting on ';' to deterine whether the

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.

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

make the selected view persistent by storing it in GSettings.

Previously the animation was not entirely according to the mockup.

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 ...

Since now if you focus the indicators, you can't scroll and

ClutterActor::scroll-event has a boolean return value to indicate

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.

The popup of the FolderView is now contained inside

When we adapt the grid to different display sizes,
we don't want the number of displayed items to get

make sure that the grid fits add least minRows

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.

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

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

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

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
be started, so it can ungrab the pointer and restore state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694276
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
not allocated yet, so pass the source to the boxpointer and adjust
the arrow at the next paint.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694264
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
At the moment when loading the applications, each app is inserted
at its correct (alphabetical) position. Avoid this overhead by
loading all apps first, then sort them once and fill the grid with
the sorted actors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
AllView will be updated to allow app folders in addition to app
launchers. Folders will pop up in the existing view, so add an
additional stack widget into the hierarchy which popups will use
as parent.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
We are going to introduce app folders, which will also present an
alphabetical list of applications, but use a different UI. In
preparation for that, split out the item logic into an abstract
base class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
With categories removed, the separation between AllAppDisplay and
ViewByCategories no longer makes sense. Also use this opportunity
to rename the outdated AllAppDisplay to AppDisplay; it will
eventually be used to manage different views.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
AppIcon is just a tiny wrapper around BaseIcon, which does not add
anything over using BaseIcon directly, so merge its code with
AppWellIcon. As the concept of the "app well" has not been used
since well before 3.0, use AppIcon as name for the merged class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
This is causing more confusion than anything else these days; the DBus
API is properly documented now and that's what people are expected to
use, the rest are implementation details we're not interested in
exposing.

These are for all search results except apps (and Wanda).
We also simplify a bit the packing of search results, which removes some
ugly code in navigateFocus() where we needed to call
st_widget_navigate_focus() twice, since the grid icon was composed by
two nested boxes, both focusable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681797
Display a '+' icon on the provider icon if there are more results that are
hidden. If the provider icon is clicked, ask the provider to launch itself and
perform a search with the current terms.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681797
this._gnomecc is currently unused; we actually need a GAppInfo for this
provider if we want to display an icon next to it (see future commits),
so just turn it into one.
We might move this to an external provider altogether in the future.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689735
The only case when we're interested in using those parameters nowadays
is for DnD, which is handled in a separate method already.
Since we're not going to support DnD for non-app search results anyway,
drop the params from all the activateResults() calls; this will be
useful later since we're going to add another parameter to it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689735
Desktop files can specify if the application should only be shown for
specified desktops with OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn directives options.
If a menu category only contained entries for a different desktop, we
were still creating the category.
We now only add a category button if there is at least one application
to be displayed in this category.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687970
We simply hide the label when the popup is opened instead of relying
on the popup state when the hover state change.
To do this we replace the flag isMenuUp by a 'menu-state-changed' signal
on the AppWellIcon. This simplifies the dash label visibility handling
code that need additional changes for the bug.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657315
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
of applications, but instead a concatenation of all the applications in all
the loaded categories.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658176
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
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.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651813
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.
