Only the area used by favorite apps can be used as drop targets, it
is not possible to add new favorites between the running apps at the
end. While that behavior makes sense, it is currently impossible to
distinguish the two areas with confusing results.
Address this by adding a visual separator between favorites and
running apps.

We use a custom actor to make sure that the show-apps button remains
visible even when there's not enough space to show all icons.
We can achieve the same result with much less code, by using a custom
BoxLayout layout manager for the icons to override the minimum width.

Now that the Dash is horizontal, the popup menu of the Dash icons must
show up, instead of left/right.
Make AppIcon.popupMenu() receive an optional parameter with the side
to show the menu, using St.Side.LEFT as default. Override this method
in DashIcon to always pass St.Side.TOP.

And move it to the bottom of the overview. Change the height-based calculation
of the icon sizes to be width-based. Put the DashFader in a vertical box, and
make all corners of the Dash equally rounded.

When checking for a suitable icon size, Dash currently checks which
of the hardcoded icon sizes is smaller than the calculated available
size.
On some circumstances, however, when the calculated available size
is exactly equal to the hardcoded icon sizes, Dash selects a smaller
size. This cascades (the next icon size is exactly the smaller size,
etc) and ends up with always Dash selecting smallest size available,
even with plenty of available space.
Check if the calculated available size is smaller or equal to the
hardcoded icon sizes.

Commit ff3d32dd18 added a custom DashIcon subclass that disables
all DND methods from ancestors, including canceling the context
menu timeout and emitting the overview's item-drag-begin signal.
All we want is opting out of the parent's scale-and-fade behavior,
so override those methods instead.

This reverts commit c0c027c608. Because for
some reason animating external opacity and position is still incurring
internal repaints, which disables offscreening and makes fading of
overlapping actors look wrong. `ON_IDLE` should be fixed in mutter before
it is used (in boxpointer at least) again.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2270
To bypass offscreening in cases where continuous animation is happening.
Offscreening is slower in such cases so this reduces the render time of
animations within offscreenable actors.
On an i7-7700 this reduces the render time of boxpointers for example by
25-30%.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most
of classes, by inheriting all the actor container classes.
Uses interfaces when needed for making sure that multiple classes will implement
some required methods or to avoid redefining the same code multiple times.

We are currently inconsistent whether to put the operators in front
of the corresponding line or at the end of the preceding one. The
most dominant style for now is to put condition and first branch on
the same line, and then align the second branch:
let foo = condition ? fooValue
: notFooValue;
Unfortunately that's a style that eslint doesn't support, so to account
for it, our legacy configuration currently plainly ignores all indentation
in conditionals.
In order to drop that exception and not let messed up indentation slip
through, change all ternary operators to the non-legacy style.

Because the Dash icons are not drop targets themselves,
add a tiny DashIcon class, which is an AppDisplay.AppIcon
subclass, and disable all DND drop code from it.
Show a folder preview when dragging an app icon over another
app icon.

As per design direction, scale and fade the app icon
when starting dragging it, and show it again if the
drop is accepted. Clutter takes care of animating the
rest of icon positions through implicit animations.
Scale and fade the dragged icon while it's being dragged.

We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
Dash items are currently animated via the custom "childScale" and
"childOpacity" properties. However since commit efb3025d8c, those
properties actually control the scale-x/scale-y and opacity properties
of the actor itself (not the child), so cut out the intermediate
custom properties in favor of the "real" ones.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/663
While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
When destructuring multiple return values, we often use trailing commas
to indicate that there are additional elements that we are ignoring.
There isn't anything inherently wrong with that, but it's a style that's
too confusing for eslint - on the one hand we require a space after a
comma, on the other hand we require no space before closing brackets.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/607
We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position
of an element inside the array.
(Array.includes() and Array.indexOf() do behave differently in edge cases,
for example in the handling of NaN, but those don't matter to us)
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/152
When determining the biggest icon size that fits the available height,
we first subtract the additional space requirements of icons (spacing,
padding, running indicator etc.) and then divide the result by the
number of icons to get the maximum size available to each icon texture.
In the above, the additional space requirement of each icon is taken
from the first icon (as all icons are assumed to be the same), and
calculated as the difference between the icon button's preferred height
and the currently used icon size.
To make sure that the icon is actually using the dash's current icon
size (even while animating to a new icon size), we enforce its height
during the size request and restore its original height afterwards.
However after some recent changes, that step is causing troubles:
For some reason, the original height may be 0, and when we restore it,
we end up forcing a fixed non-height that bypasses the regular size
request machinery.
While it is unclear where exactly the zero height comes from (maybe
waiting for a valid resource scale?), it is clear that it's best
to avoid forcing a fixed height. So instead of making the icon
texture comply with the assumed icon size, adjust the calculations
to use its current height request.

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

Destroy the DashItemContainer's child from the same handler as the tooltip. This
will prevent invalid reads when the item is destroyed while its quicklist is
still open.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/781
DashItemContainer currently animates the scale and opacity
of its child when zooming in. This is visible when adding
a new favorite item to the dash; the items will zoom in from
the center.
After the previous commit, however, the zoom animation got
slightly broken, and looked like the icon was coming from
the bottom instead of the center.
Fix that by setting the scale and opacity of DashItemContainer
itself, instead of its child. Remove the unused code after that
too.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Pretty much like the previous patches, this extends St.Bin. The
most interesting aspect of this patch is that most of the sizing
routines of the icons is now delegated to the actors and layout
managers, removing quite a bunch of code.
The 'spacing' theme property is now redirected to StBoxLayout's
spacing property. Also adjust the Dash code to stop forcing a
potentially invalid width in the first icon too.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Flag some actors that are good candidates for caching in texture memory
(what Clutter calls "offscreen redirect"), thereby mostly eliminating
their repaint overhead.
This isn't exactly groundbreaking, it's how you're meant to use
OpenGL in the first place. But the difficulty is in the design of
Clutter which has some peculiarities making universal caching
inefficient at the moment:
* Repainting an offscreen actor is measurably slower than repainting
the same actor if it was uncached. But only by less than 100%,
so if an actor can avoid changing every frame then caching is usually
more efficient over that timeframe.
* The cached painting from a container typically includes its children,
so you can't cache containers whose children are usually animating at
full frame rate. That results in a performance loss.
This could be remedied in future by Clutter explicitly separating a
container's background painting from its child painting and always
caching the background (as StWidget tries to in some cases already).
So this commit selects just a few areas where caching has been verified
to be beneficial, and many use cases now see their CPU usage halved:
One small window active...... 10% -> 7% (-30%)
...under a panel menu........ 23% -> 9% (-61%)
One maximized window active.. 12% -> 9% (-25%)
...under a panel menu........ 23% -> 11% (-52%)
...under a shell dialog...... 22% -> 12% (-45%)
...in activities overview.... 32% -> 17% (-47%)
(on an i7-7700)

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.
