Since the caps-lock warning adds a lot of spacing to dialogs and the
lock screen, hide it by default and only show it when necessary. To make
the transition smooth instead of just showing the label, animate it in
using the height and opacity.
Also add some bottom padding to the label so we can show or hide that
padding, too.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/952
The caps-lock warning is more related to entries than dialogs and is
also used in gdm, which is not realated to dialogs at all. Rename the
css class to caps-lock-warning-label and move it to the entry
stylesheet.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/952
Since there is a generic layout for dialogs like that now, use it. Also
remove the functionality of focussing a window when clicking a list

We've had the ability to temporarily disable notification banners
all the way back to 3.0, but we stopped exposing it in the UI with
the 3.16 notification redesign. With the message list being more
concise nowadays and the "Clear" button reduced to a single icon,
we now have space for a "Do Not Disturb" switch again.

Make the AppFolderPopup behave much more like a dialog than a
popup itself. To do that, remove the BoxPointer and replace it

Instead of removing all button shadows forcibly with
`box-shadow: none !important`, remove only the drop shadows selectively
with button(). This allows %bubble_button to preserve the focus ring
while eliminating the drop shadows.

- Move the more generic %button style before %bubble_button to reduce

`MessageDialogContent.messageBox` is not really needed and was only
needed to show icons, which is now no longer supported. The styling can
also be done using other CSS classes and this makes it a bit more

Many of the apps in the favorite apps list have fallen out of favor.
Replacing Rhythmbox with Music and Shotwell with Photos are obvious
moves. Rhythmbox and Shotwell are not core apps, and that means we
assume they are not installed by default. It doesn't really make sense
to have non-default apps in the apps list.
Evolution is also not a core app, and that is not likely to change, so
it should also be removed. Adding Geary might be more controversial. It
is a strong candidate to become a core app, GNOME Mail, in the near
future, but it is not there yet. So this could arguably be considered
premature. But I figure a GSettings
default is a cheap thing; we can always change it later if desired.
Calendar is added at the request of GNOME design team ("replacing" the
calendar functionality of Evolution).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/907
Epiphany and Evolution updated their desktop IDs years ago. I assume the
rename list in appFavorites.js ensures this is still working properly
despite the obsolete names.
Also introduce a "show-peek-icon" property to enable/disable
the peek-password-icon in the password entry. This is useful
in cases where the peeking the password functionality needs
to be avoided.

If the GNOME shell crashes, we run a service that may disable
extensions. This is important so that users will not be locked out of
their own session in case an extension is causing crashes.
As this is a very agressive action, we tried to only do this in the
first two minutes of the session. Unfortunately, the logic was broken
and would result in an unclean session shutdown.
Fix this by using the newly introduced gnome-shell-disable-extensions
file. This is created by the extension subsystem for a period of time to
indicate the extensions may be the cause of a gnome-shell failure.
See
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/issues/43
for a log of the bug happening and the gnome-session part to fix this.

Since the notification message close button had no border, or mouse
over effect, there was no way to determine whether the mouse cursor
were over the button.
Improve this by adding a message-close-button class for the close
button, and a styling for its hovered state, based on media control
button styling.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/855
Increases contrast between normal and hovered states in
message-media-control buttons. Previously there was very little
difference between the two states, making it hard to distinguish
whether the mouse cursor was over the button.

Remove setCurrentPage() function, introduce setCurrentPosition() instead,

The RenameFolderMenu uses the internal box as a menu item, while PopupMenu
expects to have PopupBaseMenuItem based children with a delegate set.
Instead of using a custom menu with a customized box acting as menu
item,just add a RenameFolderMenuItem that inherits from the parent,
adjusting the features as we need them. In fact, the rename folder menu item
doesn't need any label, padding or default styling so we can reuse
PopupMenuBaseItem after we use our styling properties and we set the
Ornament to HIDDEN.
To get the proper style in place, define rename-folder-popup and
rename-folder-popup-item to override the default popup-menu-item rule
padding instead of using margins.
Pass the menu item as menu's focusActor as this will key-focus it on pop-up,
by overriding the key_focus_in() vfunc we can then delegate the focus
handling to the entry's clutter-text.
Also override the map() vfunc in order to update the entry's content before
mapping the entry.
Finally, use the item's activate method in order to tell the parent menu
we're done with it and that the menu can be closed.
As consequence we can also remove the menu's popup() method, and just use
the default open().

Using the bus name to notify service startup to systemd has some
disadvantages. The main one being that systemd will consider a
gnome-shell restart (Alt+F2 r) a service failure and restart the shell,
cleaning up all its children (i.e. user launched applications). In the
future the shell should launch applications in their own transient unit
so that a service restart does not affect applications.
Another potential issue is that we must never load
gnome-shell-wayland.service and gnome-shell-x11.service at the same
time, as systemd does not like two services providing the same bus
name.

Clocks has exactly the same issue as Weather: Its integration currently
relies on accessing its settings directly, which isn't possible when
the app is sandboxed.

The existing units were never used as the corresponding support was
never merged into gnome-session.

As gnome-shell is a required component for GNOME sessions, gnome-session
will currently always try to autostart it. However as we are moving towards
using systemd's user instance for session startup, gnome-session should only
be responsible for launching the shell when either not running under systemd
or when we were built without systemd support.
gnome-session can detect the former but not the latter, so communicate this
via the newly added X-GNOME-HiddenUnderSystemd key in the .desktop file.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/507https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/merge_requests/13
Our current Weather integration depends on poking around the app's
settings, which we cannot do when the app is sandboxed (as its
filesystem is "hidden away" in a container in that case).
So instead, use our own GSettings schema for the settings, and sync
it with GNOME Weather via a custom D-Bus interface.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1158
The startup/busy indication in the app menu was left out of commit
22e21ad7d1 because it doesn't use a hard-coded image, but as the

Trying to disable an extension that is enabled by the session mode
currently has no effect, which is clearly confusing. We could update
the various extension UIs to reflect that via sensitivity, but being
unable to configure extensions based on which session the user picked
at login isn't obvious either.
So instead, add a 'disabled-extensions' gsettings key to list extensions
that should not be enabled which takes precedence over 'enabled-extensions'
and can be used to disable session mode extensions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
The existing 'ExtensionStatusChanged' signal has a fixed set of parameters,
which means we cannot add additional state without an API break. Deprecate
it in favor of a new 'ExtensionStateChanged' signal which addresses this
issue by taking the full serialized extension as parameter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Extensions are currently enabled or disabled by directly changing the
list in the 'enabled-extensions' GSettings key. As we will soon add
an overriding 'disabled-extensions' key as well, it makes sense to
offer explicit API for enabling/disabling to avoid duplicating the
logic.
For the corresponding D-Bus API, the methods were even mentioned in
the GSettings schema, albeit unimplemented until now.

While mutter supports a variety of different grid layouts (n columns/rows,
growing vertically or horizontally from any of the four corners), we

Unlike the app grid, we show the search results while the dash is hidden
and with a small scrollbar instead of page indicator dots. This
means there's nothing the search results might horizontally overlap
with and the padding here is unneccessary.
The spacing between the search results and the screen edges is still
sufficient because of the paddings applied to searchResultsContent.
On very small screens (< 1000px), this allows the search results to
utilize a lot more of the horizontal screen space.

This extends the ShellMountPasswordDialog by widgets which allow

volumes (TCRYPT). This includes:
- Whether the volume to be unlocked is hidden.
- Whether the volume to be unlocked is a system partition.
Note: TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt only support encrypting Windows
systems [1], so the label for this option is "Windows System Volume".
- Whether to use a PIM [2].
- Whether to use keyfiles. Unfortunately, GMountOperation doesn't

Window titles aren't restricted in length, so the menu may end up unwieldily
width. Commit 0bec76b6ee therefore limited the app context menus, but that

This keyboard works similar to GTK+'s emoji chooser (actually, both pull
from the same JSON file). Emojis are categorized in sections and variants
and kept in a "model".
The EmojiPager actor then uses this model to generate pages on-the-fly as
the user swipes around. This is an important optimization since the amount
of actors would rival with the rest of the shell otherwise.
The EmojiSelection object puts the EmojiPager, the page indicators and
a KeyContainer with the bottom row of emoji section shortcuts together to
implement the emoji panel as a whole.
The Keyboard object hooked this to an "emoji" key, which is just visible
on the Clutter.InputContentPurpose where showing an emoji would be
meaningful. Otherwise the surrounding buttons are made a bit wider to
cover up for it (i.e. as it was before).
The OSK panel uses 1/3rd of the monitor height, plus we specify a minimum
size for the keys. This doesn't play along if contents won't fit (short
monitor, big fonts, ...) pushing contents offscreen. Reduce the minimum
size a bit so there's better chances to fit.

Since commit 447bf55e45 we turn the top bar translucent when

Add a D-Bus API that allows the API user to introspect the application
state of the shell. Currently the only exposed information is list of

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/326
Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.
Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.
Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.
To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.

We'll soon move the inlined XML of all interfaces we export or consume into

Reported by desktop-file-validate:

While the new per-desktop overrides in GIO are easier to use for

GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used
to change schemas' default values for a particular desktop. This
is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792822
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.

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.

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.

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 ...

The solid black top bar we currently use works well for maximized
or tiled windows, as it puts focus on the application content by
blending into the monitor bezel. However it also visually reduces
the screen space, which is particularly noticeable when no window
is located nearby. Having the top bar blend with the background is
a better option in that case, so track window positions and add
some transparency when the top bar is free-floating.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747163
The usual expectation when selecting large fonts is for content to
be bigger, not that less content is displayed. While not always
possible, there's no reason not to scale modal dialogues with the
font size.

Media notifications currently always show the forward and backward
buttons as clickable, regardless of whether the corresponding action
is available or not. Media players usually address this by rendering
controls insensitive in this case, so do the same here.

Update the notification style according to the latest mockups:
- make notification icons smaller and prefer symbolic variants
- remove background box when not hovered/focused
- increase spacing between elements
- use normal text sizes

The section titles usually don't provide a lot of value - messages
themselves are usually pretty unambiguous about their type, and
having a hidden shortcut to some settings panel or application isn't
essential either - except when showing the selected date when browsing
other days, as it adds context to the listed events. Based on that,
remove the section title as a general MessageListSection feature and
move it into the EventsSection, where we only show it when it is useful.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
We will eventually remove section titles from the message list to
reduce visual noise and give the actual information provided by
the messages more space. So in order to not lose the ability to
mass-dismiss messages, the latest mockups spot a "Clear All" button
at the bottom - implement that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Similar to the Clocks integration we've had in the date+time drop-down for
a while, the designs have called for a similar section that integrates
GNOME weather as well. Use the WeatherClient added in the previous commit

Update according to the latest mockups:
- don't use a border around the list as specified

When gnome-shell fails to start on login, gnome-session tries to
re-launch it again with all extensions disabled. This is currently
implemented by clearing the list of enabled extensions, which means
the user needs to re-enable their extensions manually again.
To make this process less annoying, add a single 'kill-switch' setting
gnome-session can use without interfering with the user setting.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778664
This is an implementation of the pad OSD that's been previously
present in gnome-settings-daemon. Since things are moving closer

Nowadays, the user interface has mostly stabilized with most changes
happening under the hood. As a result, extensions written for previous
versions of GNOME Shell are very much expected to keep working on
updates, if it wasn't for the version check that requires a version
bump in the extension metadata. There has been a setting to disable
that check for a while, but it's existence isn't widely known (hence
the common perception that "everything breaks on updates"). While
there is still some risk that an out-of-date extension can be enabled
without error, but fails spectacularly later (where we cannot catch
the exception), it is reasonably small by now when compared to the
~95% of extensions that can be "unbroken", so swap the default value
to disable version checks by default.

Commit bd6e7f14d1 reimplemented the cycle keybindings to
fix cycling between more than two windows, but the approach
of highlighting cycled windows by actually focusing them has
the drawback that cycling messes up the MRU order of windows.
To fix this, only change the window focus when the operation
finishes, and use a dedicated actor that draws a border around
a window clone for highlighting.

intltool is unmaintained nowadays while upstream gettext gained
support for formats like GSettings schemas and .desktop files,
and offers a mechanism to teach it about other XML formats not
yet supported out of the box which we can use for the rest.
So there's nothing stopping us, just make the switch ...

If a sandboxed app requests access to some system resource (camera,
microphone, location), the portal frontend needs to ask the user
for permission. In GNOME, we want this to be a system modal dialog,
so provide an org.freedesktop.impl.portal.access implementation
that exposes a generic system modal permission dialog on the bus.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768669
We currently use the :active pseudo class to mark the selected day
in the calendar. Whenever the selected date changes, the class is
added to the corresponding button and removed from all others.
However when the selected date doesn't change (i.e. when clicking
the already selected date), the buttons are not updated and the
use of the :active class conflicts with StButton's builtin handling
of the class - the class is removed on the button up event and the
button is deselected.
Fix this by simply using a different pseudo class.

We can autodetect what to do based on the user's session, so drop

If we detected that Bluetooth devices were setup, show the Bluetooth
menu so that users can easily turn Bluetooth back on.
This is a bit of a hack, as we cannot detect whether there is a
Bluetooth adapter at all when it's disabled, so we cannot tell whether
there were any Bluetooth devices setup, at some point. This state is
saved in the gnome-shell GSettings in the had-bluetooth-devices-setup
key.
Checking whether we saw Bluetooth devices at one point is a good
enough guess of whether there will be some in the future.

For menus, it makes more sense to pick a width that fits a reasonable amount
of content rather than a fixed amount of screen estate, so use font-relative
sizes instead of pixel values.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754581
Some labels in the system status menu - namely network names - are out
of our control, and may thus grow the width "infinitively" unless we
restrict the menu width. So far we have been doing this by setting a
fixed width or max-width, but any value we put there might end up
being too restrictive in some locales. Instead, request a width that
fits all the labels we want to show unellipsized and use that instead
of an arbitrary limit.

The code previously tried to stop spinner after it was hidden, but
due to an incorrect check was only stoppig it after it was shown.
Also, it was only stopping after hiding due to an animation, and
failing to stop it in the non-animated case.
This left the spinner hidden and running while VT switched away
from the login screen, only stopping when the auth prompt was
reset when switching back.

Follow the design we have in gtk+ for buttons dialogs,
which are at the bottom and they expand full width, having
the same amount of space for each one.
Also, since this removes any space for non-button widgets
in the button area, move the spinner present in the auth prompt
dialog next to the password entry.

We now stopped using notification actors directly for anything, so
we can simplify the Notification class significantly by turning it
into a purely informational object others can use to built their UI
representation from.

Since we stopped special-casing chat notifications to use the old
notification actor, we need to provide a notification banner to

The .selected style class indicates the "active" menu item, which
is generally the last hovered or focused one (whichever happened
last). Styling that instead of :focus and :hover directly guarantees
that only a single item will be selected at a time, which removes
ambiguity and matches the behavior of GTK+ menus.

Commit 5a8923ef95 removed support for legacy status icons from
the notification system, as we no longer want them to appear as
notifications. As we are unfortunately not quite at a point where
we can remove all support for them for good, so we now need an
alternative place to put them. Add a small dedicated tray at the
bottom which appears when any legacy status icons are active. By
default it is almost completely hidden to not interfere with the
user's windows, but can be expanded on demand to interact with
the icons.

With the message tray no longer being a distinctive UI element,
the existing <super>m shortcut for viewing the notification list
is no longer mnemonic. It is also less convenient as it requires
both hands with most keyboards. So make <super>v the new default
to _view_ notifications, which matches the corresponding Windows
default.
The previous default is kept as secondary shortcut to ease the
transition.

GNOME Shell throws the following warning message:
'St-WARNING **: Too many values for border-radius property.'

gnome-shell.css and gnome-shell-high-contrast.css.

We no longer have a single notification actor that is either displayed
as banner or reparented to the summary depending on state - both the
lock screen and the notification section of the message list create
their own UI based on the information attached to the notification
object. Adding to this that different representations of a notification
may now exist simultaneously (as they are included in the message list
immediately rather than after the banner has been displayed), it no
longer makes sense to keep the banner actor in the notification itself.
Add a new NotificationBanner class that provides a separate banner
implementation based on the message list's NotificationMessage that will
soon replace the existing notification banners.
The message tray is now empty and about to be removed, so an indication
at the bottom edge of the overview becomes an odd location to convey the
status of the summary. We will eventually display an indication in the
top bar that unseen messages are available, for now just remove the
existing indicator.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The notification list in the calendar drop-down now functions as summary
area, so we can drop it from the message tray and remove a lot of complexity

Display notifications that have not been dismissed in the message
list - eventually this will replace the existing message tray summary.
Notification messages show icon, title and one line of the body and

in this mode.

Turn the existing EventsList into a MessageListSection and add the
message list to the calendar drop-down. The new events list only
displays events for the currently selected day, but in a more

The message list is a scrollable list that will hold sections of
different types of time-related messages like notifications,
calendar events or birthday reminders. When no section displays

The sass sources now live in a project in GNOME, so they can
be used in multiple projects like gnome-shell-extensions.
Because of that, add gnome-shell-sass as a submodule of gnome-shell
and remove the sass sources from the theme directory.
This used to be the style-class for status icons (i.e. icon-only
top bar items). It got unused a while ago when the class used
by status icons stopped using it - except for the keyboard indicator,
which set the class manually to appear as status icon despite not
being a real icon.
Now that the button highlight is provided by the .panel-button class
on a parent, the obsolete class results in a double border on the
keyboard indicator when active - just drop it from there as well
to fix.
- the goal is to have the items activate even on the edge
sadly this Fitzsiness is only working on the app vault icon
at the bottom, not the regular icons so far.
So we can style it differently than :hover.
We already have a active state for the menu items which includes
more than hover. For example, when the keyboard focus moves to a item
or we select programatically a item.
For this reason we need a style class named active for the meaning we
give to it in menu items, and a pseudo class active with the meaning
CSS has.

Since widnows decorations with round corners has a special shape,
