The legacy tray introduced as part of the notification redesign in
3.16 was meant as a stop-gap solution to encourage applications to
move away from the concept of status icons, but it hasn't really
done anything except of getting in the way. Given that the large
majority of apps that still make use of status icons work perfectly
fine without them, we decided that it is time to drop this unloved
bit of UI altogether. Users who still want them (or use one of the
odd cases where an app really depends on the icon) can install one of
various extensions that are available, either based on the XEmbed
support that is still kept around or implementing the DBus-based
StatusNotifier spec.

Currently the chrome layer decides itself which events on the window
clone should show or hide the chrome, which makes it harder to extent.
Instead, move the decision to the window clone by letting it emit
show/hide-chrome events when appropriate.

Previews are currently limited to at most 70% of the actual window
size. This was done to indicate more clearly that the overview is
active and the window cannot be interacted with. However since then
other indications like the vignette effect have been added, so
artificially limiting the preview size doesn't look necessary anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Now that only one window title is visible at any time, it no longer
matters if a title extends into other window previews, so we can
always show the full title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
While the new title position gives the previews more space, they now
overlay the content which may hide valuable information. Address this
by only revealing the title as additional information on hover, like
we do for other auxiliary elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We consider the window previews the primary way to identify a window,
so it makes sense to give them as much space as possible. So in order
to not have title captions take up too much vertical space, overlay
them on top of the preview borders.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We currently expand the workspace switcher when workspaces are being
used, that is when there are any windows on a non-active workspace.
While this helps with the switcher's discoverability, it does eat into
the space available for window previews. By now the component should
be well established, so we can afford opting for space efficiency and
only expand the switcher while the user actually interacts with it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
The overview's window picker is primarily about windows, and as the
previews that represent them are more effective the bigger they are,
it makes sense to scale down competing elements; start by reducing
the size of workspace thumbnails on the right ...

Instead of potentially loading a background mid-way when it changes, and
loading it again for every file monitor event, leverage
CHANGES_DONE_HINT events, which allow us to ignore CREATED and CHANGED
signals from the file monitor.

About every other situation can do with synchronizing keyboard visibility,
and keyboard layout changes are already handled internally in the Keyboard
object.
A downside of this approach is that once created, there will always be a
Keyboard instance and its full actor hierarchy. Seems reasonable to do that
since we can't tell it won't ever be needed.

In case where a method- and property name overlap, using the method
is less unambiguous than I thought - mozjs52-based gjs will only see
the method, while mozjs38-based gjs will only see the property. We
are in luck though, and the real property name contains dashes that
allow us to refer to the property in a way that works for all gjs
versions.

Meson is on track to replace autotools as the build system of choice,
so support it in addition to autotools. If all goes well, we'll
eventually be able to drop the latter ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783229
ClutterActor has both a has_pointer() method and a :has-pointer
property (that we represent as 'has_pointer'). So far gjs was
able to deal with the name overlap, but now trying to use the
property will instead test for the availability of the method.
Just avoid the conflict by switching to the method, which is
unambiguous.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785090
We now cancel animations on override, however we also want to cancel
animations altogether on unmap (that is, when hiding the overview)
to avoid icons swarming into the void.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736148
Until now we were waiting the animation to complete to allow the user to
make a new animation. This could bring some problems and annoy nervous
users.
Instead of that, destroy clones on new animations triggers and
create a new animation with the new direction.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736148
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.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785084
Symbols that are defined with 'let' are no longer visible outside
the module that defines them. To unbreak the code base, define all
non-private properties as global.

The first time that the session is started, it can happen that the
AT SPI hasn't been correctly initialized, and this results in a crash
when attempting to register the caret or focus listeners.
In order to avoid this, these changes check the result of initializing
the AT SPI, to allow further attempts when it has failed.

Customization of keycombo actions for strips/rings was lost in the
porting to new incarnation of Wacom support.
The UI here is slightly different, instead of requiring the user to
rotate/swipe in each direction to map each keycombo, the UI will
navigate the user through edition of both options, first one, then
the other.

Commit 39a840e2c3 added an additional parameter to shell_app_launch().
When adjusting callers, the parameter was also added accidentally to
calls of the confusingly similar g_app_info_launch() ...
Remove those to fix some warnings.

The method currently catches errors that occur when calling the
extension's init() method, but throws itself an error if the
expected extension.js file is missing. The former is pointless
if we expect all callers to handle errors themselves anyway, and
we should avoid the latter if we don't - opt for the second option
and handle a missing extension.js file gracefully.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781728
While we catch errors that occur when calling init(), enable() or
disable(), the import itself can throw an exception, for instance
if the extension imports an unavailable typelib or tries to draw
in a conflicting library.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781728
Both reloadExtensions() and enableExtensions() are already expected
to catch extension errors. If they don't, this is the bug that
should be fixed instead of catching unhandled exceptions in the
caller.
This reverts commit ff425d1db7.

Those will go away when we port authentication prompts to the new
MessageDialogContent widget, so pick the style classes from there
and adjust individual properties with more specific rules to re-
produce the existing style.

A lot of our modal dialogs share a similar structure:
[Icon] Some title
Maybe a subtitle
And sometimes even a body for stuff like
longer descriptions.
A dedicated widget with a common style will allow us to significantly
reduce duplication of both code and CSS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784985
This is the basic dialog actor implementation, which will allow us to
use the same implementation on the session-global modal dialogs. The
ModalDialog class now uses it underneath, and so do all users of it.

let trackChrome accept actors that are not children of chrome actors.
this will be useful for the MetaCloseDialog in gnome-shell, which
is already included in the MetaWindowGroup, but needs to be tracked
as chrome for the dialog to receive pointer events on X11.

The actor allocation will be invalid on CLUTTER_TOUCH_BEGIN, because
it comes together with a CLUTTER_ENTER event that will recalculate
styles, and queue a relayout in result.
The net result is that on CLUTTER_TOUCH_BEGIN, the relayout has been
already queued, so the slider width comes up as 0, and the value ends
up as 1. Later touch events already happen on a validated actor, so
it is corrected. Still, not fun when modifying the volume slider on a
touchscreen.
Having descriptions with multiple lines will clutter
the view and make it more confusing for the user. Apart
from that, it also makes the search result a lot bigger,
potentially losing general vertical alignment.
