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.
