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).
Similar to what has been done for the apps switcher, this allows closing
windows pressing W or F4 while operating the windows switcher popup or
the apps switcher popup while navigating the list of windows for an app.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620106
This will be mainly useful for closing apps from the applications
switcher, but can be implemented generically enough to select the
nearest existing item after removal if there's any, or destroying
the popup's actor otherwise.
Specifically for the apps switcher, doing this also removes the need
of having to manually either update the current app in AppSwitcher
and highlight it, if there are still any items after the removal, or
simply destroy the AppSwitcher otherwise. Besides, calling _select()
in the handler for item-removed makes sure that the list of thumbnails
in the switcher is always closed, if open, when quitting the app.

Make sure that the items from the applications switcher and the windows
switcher are removed when the related applications get stopped, or some
of the associated windows closed.

glibc 2.27 introduced new format specifiers for the month names.
It's obligatory to use them in several languages already and it's
encouraged to use them for all languages because it is not destructive
for any language. As more languages are expected to follow this
standard it's better to use the "%OB" format specifier now so it will
start working correctly automatically.
See also: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10871
This standard has been also working in BSD and OS X since 1990s,
if anyone tries to use gnome-shell in these systems.
Note: This will not work correctly with glibc < 2.27, there is no
detection whether the system is old or new.

Whenever a new cursor image is loaded also save it's hot x/y
coordinates. The drawing code already respects these values, however
they were never set. This change will place the cursor image at the
correct location as seen on screen. shell-screenshot.c served as
reference.

We keep track of the lock state and restore it on startup to prevent
a crash from bypassing the screen lock. However on wayland, a crash
doesn't result in gnome-session restarting gnome-shell, but brings
down the entire session - that is, restoring the lock state does not
actually protect the existing session in that case, but forces the
user to authenticate twice in order to start the next session. This
is clearly not helpful, so avoid this by not saving the state when
running as wayland compositor.

Align and center the date entry with the workspace's workarea.
This way, maximized applications have their window aligned with the top date
entry.
This doesn't change anything for desktops with no docks or when left/right
workareas are aligned with the monitor.
The offset is leftOffset - rightOffset:
(workArea.x - monitor.x) - (monitor.width - ((workArea.x - monitor.x) +
workArea.width))

We will now basically act as "policy provider" for thunderbolt
peripherals by using org.freedesktop.bolt service: when new
devices are connect and session is a unlocked user session
we will automatically enroll (authorize and store in the database)
them.
If new devices are connected but the session is locked a message
will be shown informing the user that the device needs to be
reconnected to properly work.
The org.freedesktop.bolt service is provided by the "bolt" daemon.
Currently the language options displayed pretty much mirror those of the
top bar keyboard layout selection popup. It may make sense in the future
to only list languages, and automatically switch to the enabled IMs that
the OSK can benefit from (eg. by filling in suggestions).
The focused window will move up/down together with the OSK if the focus
area happens to be covered by the area to be covered by the OSK. This
state is reverted whenever the window loses focus, given it wasn't
relayout in between.
IBus was initially made optional as gnome-shell depended on too
recent API. This API is now old enough and gnome-shell is committing
further to IBus by implementing a ClutterInputMethod through it.
Let's just make IBus a mandatory dependency, instead of making code
paths trickier to cater for situations where it's missing.
We do not need the parent Keyboard object to handle those specially, the
code can be self-contained enough. The Key object will simply emit
pressed/released events containing the keycode/string, be it from the
parent key or one contained in the BoxPointer.
StIMText used to handle key events for IM consumption in the capture phase,
this made the search box work automagically with nothing explicitly focusing
it. Since it's no longer the case, it has to be done somewhere.
Instead of manually resizing each key everytime the keyboard needs to
relayout, have a special grid container that will preserve aspect when
resized.
This actor works in two stages though, first the keys need to be added
and then layoutButtons() need to be called for the actors to be
reparented to the container with the right attachment options.
This is a ClutterInputMethod implementation using IBus underneath. The
input method will interact with the currently focused ClutterInputFocus,
be it shell chrome or wayland clients through the text_input protocol.
The keys possibly need resizing after a (new) layer has been set, there's
however calling places that don't. Instead, fold this._redraw() into
setActiveLayer().
The st_button_release() call wouldn't happen because StButton does not
set priv->button_mask on touch events. And if we make it called, we can't
try to unset the device grab at the end of the function, as device/sequence
are unset earlier on.
Getting the necessary "setting enabled, or input from touchscreen"
conditions to have the OSK shown are not enough on the lack of a
current focus. As we are setting up the caret tracker here, wait for
the focus in event before showing the keyboard.
This fixes 2 issues, with the setting disabled it became really hard
to get the OSK hidden on eg. touchscreen->pointer device switches,
as visibility only depended on the a11y setting here. And secondly,
enabling the setting would always end up with the OSK being shown
regardless of focus, while it should stay hidden if there's no text
edition.
