The gtk-doc reference is woefully maintained, and trying to actually
generate it resulted in some extremely outdated and poor documentation.
If somebody wants to actually renew the docs, just revert this commit,
otherwise, I'm not going to bother.
The elementary guys would like this as an API, and I don't see any
reason to refuse -- this is quite nice shadow painting code :)
For some reason, gobject-introspection can't seem to cope with
MetaWindowShape. I'll look into it a bit later, but for now, mark
the function it has trouble with as (skip).
Need to hide the login1 DBus wrappers from the docs, because
they use symbols that don't start with meta_ so they're not
exported from the library. And they're not public API anyway.
Rest in peace you magnificent format, love-child of arcane X11 drawing
API and markup craze, you will not be missed.
We do remember however the bravery of a many men and women, who fearlessly
descended into the guts of your intrinsics and turned ugliness into beauty;
their work will still be spoken of when you will long have been forgotten.

From a quick code search and grep of gnome-themes-standard, none of
the themes that I inspected used this feature. Since it's the last
thing that uses a lot of old legacy GdkPixbuf code, I'd rather just
consider the feature unsupported at this point and clean up everything
I need to.

With get_input_region existing, get_input_rect is a misnomer. Really,
it's about the geometry of the output surface, and it's only used that
way in the compositor code.
Way back when in GNOME 3.2, get_input_rect was added when we added
invisible borders. get_outer_rect was always synonymous with server-side
geometry of the toplevel. get_outer_rect was used for both user-side
policy (the "frame rect") and to get the geometry of the window.
Invisible borders were meant to extend the input region of the frame
window silently. Since most users of get_outer_rect cared about the
frame rect, we kept that the same and added a new method, get_input_rect
to get the full rect of the framed window with all invisible borders for
input kept on.
As time went on and CSD and Wayland became a reality, the relationship
between the server-side geometry and the "frame rect" became more
complicated, as can be evidenced by the recent commits. Since clients
don't tend to be framed anymore, they set their own input region.
get_buffer_rect is also sort of a poor name, since X11 doesn't really
have buffers, but we don't really have many other alternatives.
This doesn't change any of the code, nor the meaning. It will always
refer to the rectangle where the toplevel should be placed.
Traditionally, WMs unmap windows when minimizing them, and map them
when restoring them or wanting to show them for other reasons, like
upon creation.
However, as metacity morphed into mutter, we optionally chose to keep
windows mapped for the lifetime of the window under the user option
"live-window-previews", which makes the code keep windows mapped so it
can show window preview for minimized windows in other places, like
Alt-Tab and Expose.
I removed this preference two years ago mechanically, by removing all
the if statements, but never went through and cleaned up the code so
that windows are simply mapped for the lifetime of the window -- the
"architecture" of the old code that maps and unmaps on show/hide was
still there.
Remove this now.
The one case we still need to be careful of is shaded windows, in which
we do still unmap the client window. In the future, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab. In that
we'd also keep shaded windows mapped, and could remove all unmap logic,
but we'd need a more complex method of showing the shaded titlebar, such
as using a different actor.
At the same time, simplify the compositor interface by removing
meta_compositor_window_[un]mapped API, and instead adding/removing the
window on-demand.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
We no longer unmap the toplevel windows during normal operation. The
toplevel state is tied to the window's lifetime.
Call meta_compositor_add_window / meta_compositor_remove_window instead...
Instead of hardcoded knowledge of certain classes in MetaWindowGroup,
create a generic interface that all actors can implement to get parts of
their regions culled out during redraw, without needing any special
knowledge of how to handle a specific actor.
The names now are a bit suspect. MetaBackgroundGroup is a simple
MetaCullable that knows how to cull children, and MetaWindowGroup is the
"toplevel" cullable that computes the initial two regions. A future
cleanup here could be to merge MetaWindowGroup / MetaBackgroundGroup so
that we only have a generic MetaSimpleCullable, and move the "toplevel"
cullability to be a MetaCullableToplevel.

For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
There are extensive places in the code where we convert between the client
rectangle and the frame rectangle. Instead of manually doing it use
new helper functions on MetaWindow and the existing meta_window_get_outer_rect().
This fixes a number of bugs where the computation was being done incorrectly,
most of these bugs are with the recently added custom frame extents, but
some relate to invisible borders or even simply to confusion between the
window and frame rectangle.
Switch the placement code to place the frame rectangle rather
than the client window - this simplifies things considerably.

Any files matching the previously used globs are no longer distributed,
breaking distcheck. Match the actual sources in compositor/, core/, meta/
and ui/ instead.
Modify all visible instances of mutter with mutter-wayland
(libraries, folders, pkgconfig, etc.), so that the wayland
branch can be installed alongside the usual X11 mutter.

Commit 2fc880db switched from focusing the topmost window as the default
window to focusing the MRU window. This was done in alignment with the
introduction of per-workspace MRU lists to avoid problems where the window
stack was inadvertently changed when focusing windows during window switches.
Now that focusing windows don't have as big an impact on the stacking order,
we can revert back to focusing the top window, which is less confusing to the
user.
For now, leave per-workspace MRU lists, as they're a pretty good approximation
of a global MRU list, and it works well enough.

Move preferences to GSettings, using mainly shared schemas from
gsettings-desktop-schemas.
Unlike GConf, GSettings support is not optional, as Gio is already
a hard dependency of GTK+.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635378
Add an additional color type to pick up colors defined with
@define-color in the GTK+ theme's CSS:
gtk:custom(name,fallback)
(where "name" refers to the name defined in GTK+'s CSS, and fallback
refers to an alternative color spec which is used when the color
referenced by "name" is not found)
The main intent of the change is to allow designers to improve
Adwaita's dark theme variant without having to compromise on colors
which work in the light variant as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648709
It may be desirable for theme authors to treat side-by-side tiled
windows differently, for instance to give the edge-touching border
a width of 0, so add additional frame states for tiled windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637330
With the existing background functions, single buttons can not be
styled separately - on the left side, the style of the left button
is picked, and the right button's style on the right side.
As theme authors may want to add rounded corners to button groups
as a whole, it makes sense to treat the case of a single button in
a group differently.

Add a new frame type META_FRAME_TYPE_ATTACHED which is used for
attached modal dialogs.
The theme format version is bumped to 3.2, and attached windows
can have borders defined in a metacity-theme-3.xml as:
<window version=">= 3.2" type="attached" style_set="[name]"/>
If no style is defined for "attached", drawing will fall back
to the "border" type.

It's nice to indicate when a title is truncated with an ellipsis.
Because themes may draw a title multiple times to draw a shadow, or
may include the window icon within the title area, we can't determine
the proper ellipsization width automatically, so add an optional
attribute to the <title/> element "ellipsize_width" which, if set,
is the width to ellipsize at.
This is only enabled if a theme version of 3.1 is required.
When it's not set, we keep the old behavior of just letting the
title be clipped with a hard edge.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591842
Sometimes you want to position something (usually the title) to be centered
with respect to the entire frame instead of centered with respect to the
individual piece currently being drawn.
This patch adds frame_x_center and frame_y_center variables that represent
the X/Y centers of the frame in the coordinate system of the piece being
drawn.
The theme version is bumped from 3.0 to 3.1 (3.0 is just the new version
system, 3.1 will have all the features we add for Mutter-2.28.)

The current mechanism of metacity-theme-1.xml and metacity-theme-2.xml
is not flexible for allowing small-scale additions. With this patch
we bump the major version version once more to metacity-theme-3.xml
and add a single feature:
Any element in the DTD can have an attribute:
version="[<|<=|=>|>] MAJOR.MINOR"
And it will be ignored unless the predicate is met. (< and > should
be to be entity escaped as < and >)
This allows having alternate sections of the theme file for older and
newer version.
* Required GLib version is bumped to 2.14 so we can parse versions
with a regular expression.
* We switch internal version numbers to be "1000 * major + minor"
* We keep a stack of the maximum required version for the current portion
the XML tree so that the "cannot use versions you don't require" stricture
of the old code can be made local to a subpart of the tree.
* A version on the top metacity_theme element causes the entire file to
be ignored; this allows having one metacity-theme-3.xml for version 3.2
and newer (say) and a metacity-1.xml for everything old.
Actual new features will be added starting with 3.1 - 3.0 is just the
version="" feature.

Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.
* doc/creating_themes/Makefile.am:
* doc/creating_themes/C/creating_metacity_themes.xml: renamed document
to creating-metacity-themes to match other manuals usage of dashes.
