Adjust the previous commit which applied the alignment to :first-child
descendants, instead of only immediate children. This fixes alignment
issues for a number of Shell extensions by making it easier to override
with a .popup-menu-item style-subclass.
find_program() defaults to require the program in question, and as
failing to locate it is now fatal, there's no longer a need for
checking whether it was found later.

Enter/shift/layout/hide buttons have been made to use our own assets, key
labels have been made slightly bigger, and incorrect padding has been
removed from the extended keys popovers.

The previous implementation of the CSS generation logic considered sassc
an optional dependency and made sure for that reason that the result CSS
files ended up in the source directory, so that they could be checked
in and kept in sync with the source sass files.
As we are making sassc a required dependency, we can now stop doing that
extra work and simply rely on the CSS files being automatically generated
each time the sass sources change. By doing this, we can now effectively
get rid of the CSS files checked in the repo as well as of the parse_sass.sh
script, since the CSS files will now live on the build directory only.

As the style has grown bigger and more complex, generating the different
variants from a common source has been a good decision. However given how
intertwined the theme is with gnome-shell itself, relying on a submodule
has proven to be quite painful. And as things stand right now, it is going
to get worse:
- using either pre-generated CSS or generating it at build time is
odd, and violates meson's strict separation between source- and
build directories; we are therefore considering dropping the CSS
and depending on sassc to always generate it at build time
- with the migration to gitlab, our workflow shifts decisively towards
branches; however there is no support in either git or gitlab for
handling two brances of separate repositories consecutively, which
gets particularly awkward for branches in a private namespace
With those pain points in mind, we will adjust our setup as follows:
- remove the submodule from gnome-shell and instead import the
sass as subtree
- after that, the sass sources can be changed like any other files
in the repository, and regular contributors can forget that there
was ever anything special about them
- whenever we want to update the classic style, we can push the subtree
changes and bump gnome-shell-extension's sass submodule
In other words: Updating the classic styling will become slightly more
painful, but not much and only for me; in return, everyone else can
stop fiddling with submodules (and buy me a beer).
All section titles use an icon, while all corresponding submenu items
are plain-text. As a result, labels in submenus aren't aligned with
the labels in the parent, which makes them harder to read and look
unbalanced. Address this by adding additional whitespace to submenu
items to account for the additional elements in the title.

When dragging a window between two workspaces a light effect used
to be present. The effect was lost probably during the theme revamp
in version 3.16.

As notification icons now align with the title, it makes sense for
them to follow the text size in case a text-scaling-factor other
than 1 is applied.

Using a unicode character here means it may look quite different
from the intended style (for instance with emoji fonts). Avoid
this by providing a custom icon and use that instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766368
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.

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
With the window titles no longer being shown as part of the previews
grid, we can reduce the spacing to have more space available to the
window previews themselves.
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.

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 ...

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
There is a clear difference between the file name and its associated
description which the mockups clearly highlight. Consequently,
make the description label semitransparent, in order to emphasize
the file name, not the description itself.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
The current size of the text is way bigger than what
we want now. The default front size is what we are
looking after, therefore no explicit value is needed
to specify the font size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
The current separator uses a gradient effect as a separator
between search results. As the mockups suggest, the gradient
separator is no longer needed, in favor of a more simple one,
which is a thin semitransparent line.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
In order to match the current mockups, the providerIcon
class needed to include both the name of the provider
and the label that informs the user about how many more
search results are available for that specific provider.
The latter replaces the plus sign icon that has been
used so far.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
In order to make gnome-shell search functionality fit on
smaller screens, like those of devices, search results
need to take advantage of more horizontal space so that
any extra space can be used efficiently.
In order to do so, change the layout of the ListSearchResult
class from a vertical one, to a horizontal one and also
decrease the padding of the list-search-result-content css
class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
The user list uses the same indication for hover and focus, so it
is possible for two items to be highlighted at the same time. Using
different styling would improve the situation, but only to some
extent - the user would still need to figure out which highlight
corresponds to which activation method. So instead, copy the
approach we use in popup menus and use a single property for
highlights that is updated by both focus- and hover changes.

GTK+ switched from ruby-based sass to c-based sassc for performance
reasons. It makes sense to follow suit, if not to not require two
tools for the same job ...
