There is a big overlap between the app menu in the top bar and the
context menu of app icons. It makes sense to unify the two both
from a design- and from a code perspective, so split out the more
modern one into a separate module as basis for a shared class.

Right now we always recreate the icon of the appMenu when calling
_sync(). This will relayout the panel everytime we open the overview,
because we call _sync() in that case.
We can easily avoid that by only recreating the icon actor in case the
app that's opened actually changes. This gets us close to doing no more
relayouts of the panel when opening the overview.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1733>
We already set the AppMenuButton to be non-reactive and transparent when
we hide it. Hiding it completely using clutter_actor_hide() will
additionally make it no longer affect layout and thus queue a relayout.
Since we hide the appMenu in the overview and we want to avoid
relayouting the panel when entering and leaving the overview, don't
completely hide the AppMenuButton to avoid queueing this relayout.

There's this little hack that we do to match the panel transition from
transparent to black with leaving the overview via swipe down. The only
problem is that, while the duration of the panel transition itself is
matches, the corners don't, and they get out of sync.
This isn't very noticeable with the swipe gesture, but it'll be much
more prominent when booting straight into the overview.
Bind the 'style' property of the panel to the corners', so that the
transition duration hack applies to all of them.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1678>
The current way of indicating focus of elements in the panel does not
work very well with a fully-transparent panel, a line at the bottom of
the panel doesn't make too much sense if there is no real panel, but
only the text and icons.
To make the indicators look better in this case, switch to a pill-shaped
background color to indicate the focus of items in the panel.
For this to look good, there has to be a small black border above and
below the background, this also requires increasing the height of the
panel (from 1.86em to 2.2em) for visual purposes.
Also, since we now no longer need to color the lower bottom of the
panel, we can remove the custom drawing code for the border of the
panels corner, so do that.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1397>
The panel corners try to match their style to the buttons closest
to them. In order to make sure the corner styles stay in sync with
their neighboring buttons, they connect to the style-changed signals
of the buttons.
In order to make sure the style-changed signal handler isn't leaked,
it gets disconnected when the button is destroyed.
Unfortunately, the destroy signal handler connection itself gets leaked!
This commit ensures the destroy signal handler gets disconnected any
time the neighboring button is re-determined.

It's best to not mix transient indicators with (probably) permanently
visible items, so move the remote-access indicator (which also handles
screencasts now) to the position of the old screen recorder icon.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1438
Move the screencasting into a separate D-Bus service process, using
PipeWire instead of Clutter API. The service is implemented in
Javascript using the dbusService.js helper, and implements the same API
as was done by screencast.js and the corresponding C code.

Clutter.Animation doesn't contain any animation modes, they live in
Clutter.AnimationMode. The places we did `Clutter.Animation.WHATEVER`
just evaluated to `undefined`. Thus, use the correct namespace for the
animation mode enums.

A promisified method expects the callback parameter to be either
a function (in which case the original method is called normally)
or omitted altogether (in which case a Promise is returned).
The call to open application details in Software does neither and
passes null instead, which will result in a warning (because no
function argument means a promise will be used, but not omitting
the parameter means we end up with too many arguments).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2551
Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

Commit 55b57421d changed signal handlers to the corresponding vfuncs,
but didn't always chain up as necessary. In most places this doesn't
matter, but at the very least the commit broke activating message list
items via the keyboard.
Add all (hopefully) the missing chain-ups to get the expected behavior
back.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2319
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%.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

We currently handle the case where the indicator itself is disabled
(read: hidden), but not when the entire top bar is invisible (for
instance when the primary monitor is in fullscreen state).
It is odd to pop up a top bar menu without the top bar, so check for
the indicator's mapped- instead of visible state.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2002
Just as with c35b4cede5, there's no
default vfunc implemented by any parent which causes gjs to crash when
trying to call it.
So return EVENT_STOP if the key press successfully toggled the button,
and EVENT_PROPAGATE otherwise.

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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
We currently only update the windows section when either the focus app changes,
or when the app's windows change (that is, a window is opened or closed). This
allows the menu item labels to become stale if the window title changes after
one of those events (for example when switching tabs).
Fix this by updating menu items when the corresponding window title changes.

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most

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 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
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
Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.

This was left-over in commit 2743f18af, and probably is the real reason
why the busy spinner wasn't using the shared AnimatedIcon.Spinner class:
The animation there was much slower.
Still, let's keep the code as-is for now, if we really need a different
animation time, we can add an optional constructor parameter to the
Spinner class.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/640
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
image in the CSS is actually the same used by the spinner class,
drop the "custom" styling and use the regular spinner.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/636
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty() is more precise than checking for
falsiness, for instance the following is true:
{ foo: undefined }.hasOwnProperty('foo');
However when checking for a handler ID, a more relaxed check is more
appropriate, as particularly 0 is not a valid handler ID.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/626
Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.

We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position

This makes it possible to drag a window which appears connected with the
panel, even if it is not in focus. As a result, it should be easier to
manipulate side-by-side windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679290
The top bar handles allocating all its children itself, so there's
little value in chaining up to st_widget_allocate() and get the
default layout manager allocating all children again (and possibly
differently).
If this happens, we end up with an infinite allocation cycle with
corresponding performance penalty. Fix this by just doing and what
Shell.GenericContainer did before commit 286ffbe2b6 replaced it,
and not chain up to StWidget.
Thanks to Robert Mader for debugging the issue.

It may not be immediately obvious that the windows section is a
list of open application windows, as titles like "Downloads" can
easily be confused with an action. Add a section heading to avoid
confusion.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/968
We currently copy the app icon menu behavior, which puts a separator
between windows from the current workspace and windows from any other
workspace. It is more useful to have the windows section appear as a
clearly marked group, so drop the separator.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/968
Commit 1b169655ac removed the system indicator from the list of children
that are considered for the overall menu width, because we do want the
log-out submenu to adapt to the available width.
However as a side effect, action buttons no longer contribute to the
width either, so if extensions add additional buttons, the menu is
likely to overflow.
Avoid this by only adding the button group to the list of size children.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1094
Ouch, this went unnoticed for a long time: As the minimum size of menu
items is generally small (because its label can be ellipsized), we are
requesting the unellipsized width of the last "size child" instead of
the widest one.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/996
If the user's real name is too long to fit the menu comfortably, we are
supposed to use the username instead. However since commit f8e5e3e435,
we no longer set a max-width on the menu as a whole, but instead base
the width request on only "unellipsizable" children. For some reason
the system menu ended up there, so the name is now allowed to grow
indefinitely.
Remove it from the list of size children to get the intended behavior
back.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/400
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
got accidentally dropped in commit 0ded0dbfd5. Add back the limitation and
extend it to the new app menu as well.

Since the plans to retire the app menu were announced, nobody objected to
the removal of the menu content, however some concerns were raised about
the menu's secondary role as indicator.
Account for that by not removing the existing app menu, but replacing it
with a built-in menu similar to the existing app icon context menu.

The GtkSettings was originally introduced to inform applications about
the desktop shell's capabilities, but users soon started to use it to
force GTK+ to show the app menu inside the application. We eventually
caved and also handled the setting ourselves to hide the in-shell app
menu to allow users to "move" it.
But now the remote app menu is in the process of being retired[0], and
will be replaced with a simple indicator that cannot be moved, so
stop following the GtkSetting.

We shouldn't allow toggling menus that aren't supported by the

Since commit 447bf55e45 we turn the top bar translucent when

back to the fully opaque top bar.

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can

We currently only ignore minimized windows, not windows that are
hidden for other reasons - namely on wayland windows are initially
hidden until they are placed.

overlapping the top bar.

Instead of taking care of the PanelMenu.ButtonBox.container
destruction by itself, delegate that to the very object that
created it in the first place: PanelMenu.ButtonBox itself.
In the next commit, we will turn PanelMenu.ButtonBox into a
St.Widget subclass. As a domino effect, PanelMenu.Button will
become one too, and so will Panel.AppMenuButton.
When that happens, the current show() and hide() functions in
Panel.AppMenuButton will clash with Clutter.Actor's ones.
To avoid that, rename these functions to fadeIn() and fadeOut()
and avoid a name clash.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Shell.GenericContainer exposes the size negotiation machinery
through the use of signals. Signals are not specially performant.
One of the reasons is that they acquire a global lock for signal
handlers lookup. GNOME Shell has more than 2,000 actors at any
given point in time, up to 20 levels deep in hierarchy, making
size negotiation and painting non-trivial tasks. Such a critical
section of Clutter's machinery shouldn't rely on signals
whatsoever.
Regardless of that, Shell.GenericContainer is a workaround to
a non-existing issue anymore. It shouldn't be used anyway, and
any performance improvements that removing it can potentially
yield are bonuses to it.
This commit starts this work by removing Shell.GenericContainer
usage from Panel.Panel class. The class now extends St.Widget,
and as such, it has no "this.actor" field set anymore. A couple
of places where this actor field was used are adjuste as well.
It is important to notice that we now allocate the Panel itself
inside vfunc_allocate(). This was previously done before emitting
the signal by Shell.GenericContainer.

Previously mutter listened to Xsettings (via GTK) to get notified
whether the shell showed the app menu. After X11 support was changed in
the direction of being less central, listening to this particular
Xsettings were removed with the intention of having the Shell tell
mutter directly whether it was showing the menu or not.
This commit makes that happen. It still travels through Xsettings (still
via Gtk), as the shell still gets that state from Xsettings, but fixing
this is out of scope for this particular fix.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/276
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)
Also a couple of bugs are fixed by this:

well as gnome-remote-desktop using the corresponding org.gnome.Mutter

every active session.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()

where we pass additional arguments.
