Currently, WorkspacesView positions each workspace on a
per-page layout, each page with the allocated width and
height of WorkspaceView. This layout doesn't work well
with horizontal workspaces.
Layout workspaces side by side, instead of per page. The
layout is influenced by a "fit mode", which reflects the
different behaviors exposed in the mockup. This fit mode
represents whether a single or all workspaces will fit
available geometry.
The single fit mode is always used for now. Next commits
will make it switch to the all fit mode when in the app
grid state.
The translation_{x,y} also needed to reflect the switch to
a side-by-side layout, and use the geometry of the workspaces
to determine the offset. Notice that, when the fit mode is ALL,
there's no translation applied.

Move the background to the Workspace class by introducing a new container

WokspacesDisplay simply remaps the scroll direction into the next
workspace, but that doesn't account for the new horizontal layout.
Scroll horizontally on horizontal layouts when scroll direction is
on the vertical axis.

The scroll adjustment's upper value corresponds to the number of
workspaces, not to the last workspace index. We want the latter
when mirroring the layout in RTL locales, so subtract 1.

Even if they're in the end of the list. So far we've managed to not be affected
by this bug because until GNOME 3.38, workspaces didn't have a background, and
there was no way to navigate to these leftover workspaces, but with the proposed
overview changes for GNOME 40 it'll be very much visible.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1560>
When handling all scroll directions, it is imperative to ignore emulated
events. Otherwise we may get the wrong scroll direction, e.g. when natural
scrolling is enabled.
Ignore pointer emulated events in WorkspaceDisplay._onScroll().
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1560>
Updating scroll position may have significant side effects, e.g.
switching workspace; this should never happen during allocation, as
we're in the middle of painting a frame. So, put it in an idle callback
if we're doing it from an allocation to have the side effects happen the
right time.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1527>
Clutter nowadays omits reallocations when only the stage position
changed, that is when the allocation relative to the parent changed.
As a result (apart from better performance of course), workspaces
in the overview may now end up with an outdated "actual geometry"
in case the overview moved to a new primary monitor (of equal size
as the previous one).
Work around that by emitting a signal from the overview on allocation
changes, and use that to update the cached geometry.
We can revert that change once workspaces become part of the regular
overview hierarchy.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3211
This was missed in commit 96f63b08c2 when splitting the combined
layout+scrolling method into allocation and translation.
Add it back to prevent windows from other windows leaking into view
during the transition.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3208
We couldn't clip workspaces views during the overview transition
when we used the "porthole" approach, but as view's allocation
now always matches the expected visible area, we can just apply
the clip unconditionally.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3208
In commit 9297d87775 we stopped syncing the primary view's actual
geometry at the start of the transition when doing a fade animation,
however the view animation may still be triggered by an allocation
change.
Prevent those unwanted size changes during fade by keeping track of
the fade state and explicitly skip syncing the geometry while a fade
is ongoing.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2969
Since commit af543daf1c, we skip the overview transition when the
actual geometry hasn't been set yet. However with the new layout
manager, the only bit that still needs the separate geometry is
the transition of the view, the workspaces can do their transition
just fine.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2969
When dragging the workspaces through the swipe gesture, all
workspaces must be visible. WorkspacesView's _updateVisibility()
method special-cases this and ensures that.
However, this method is only called when (1) going to the active
workspace, and (2) when the gesture ends. That means, if there
is any workspace hidden by the time a gesture starts, it is never
shown!
Call _updateVisibility() on startTouchGesture() as well.

When going straight to the app picker, we fade in the overview instead
of doing the full-blown zoom transition. In order to keep windows at
their floating position, we must apply the same to the view itself
and not transition to the overview geometry when fading.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1353
We don't always want to sync the geometry when entering the overview,
namely when the fade transition is used.
However we do want the correct geometry once we have entered the overview,
so that workspaces are at their place when switching from the app picker.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1353
Non-primary views always use their monitor's work area for their
geometry, so there's nothing to animate when leaving the overview.
The animation is already limited to the primary view when entering
the overview, so this is also more consistent.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1353
The transition was temporarily removed when switching to the new
workspace layout manager. Now everything is in place to reimplement
it with a combination of the layout manager's state adjustment and
the view's allocation.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1345
So far we've been allocating workspaces in a stack, and relied on
translation to move them to the right position. And as the position
depends on both the workspace's index and the view's viewport, some
care is needed to prevent gestures/scrolling from interfering with
layout updates.
Clean that up by properly allocating workspaces in a row or column,
and use a translation to reflect the current scroll position.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1345
Since the workspaces themselves stopped using it, there is little
reason for upholding the difference between "full" and "actual"
geometry.
Just base positioning/swiping on the view's allocation.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1345
The workspace's layout manager keeps the workspace at the same ratio as
the work area, so it makes more sense to base the views' default geometry
on that as well than the monitor area we are using right now.
(It shouldn't matter much in practice, as this only affects views on
non-primary monitors where the work area usually matches the monitor area)
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1345
We adjust the size and position of the primary view to match the workspaces
display, but views on other monitors are always set to fill their monitor.
Take that into account and create views with a fixed size and position, then
only sync the primary view to the new geometry.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1345
Switch to the new WorkspaceLayout layout manager to allocate the window
clones of the overview properly using Clutters layouting mechanisms.
Since we now no longer make use of the fullGeometry, we can remove the
setFullGeometry() function from the Workspace class. Also we can stop
setting the actualGeometry on the Workspaces and WorkspaceViews and
instead just set the fixed position and size of the views to their
full or actual geometry. This also has the benefit that we no longer
have to set a custom clip, but can simply enable clip_to_allocation.
The geometry needs to be set inside a BEFORE_REDRAW later because
_updateWorkspacesActualGeometry() is called from a notify::allocation
handler.
This isn't doing any animations when showing/hiding the overview yet,
we'll add that in the next commit.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1305
We're going to use fixed position for positioning workspaces when
they're allocated by their own layout manager, using those positions to
scroll between different workspaces interferes with that, so do that
using translations instead.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1305
We now found the underlying bug: The ControlsManager (which causes the
bad call to `_updateWorkspacesFullGeometry()`) is getting (re-)allocated
while we add the view to the overviewGroup actor because the
overviewGroup is already visible and the view is immediately getting
mapped by `clutter_actor_add_child_internal()`. That causes a
resource-scale calculation and that indirectly causes a call to
`_clutter_stage_maybe_relayout()` (explained more detailed in the last
commit).
So now that we got rid of the immediate relayout happening when mapping
the view, we can revert this fix.
This reverts commit 6cc19ee6f0.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1315
Animating the window clones of the overview requires the fullGeometry
and the actualGeometry to be set, which they won't be when showing the
overview for the first time. So don't even try to animate the window
clones in that case because the geometries will still be null and
accessing them in workspace.js will throw errors.
The workspace views will still get the correct layout as soon as the
allocations happen because syncing the geometries will trigger updating
the window positions. Since animations are disabled for position changes
when syncing the geometry though, we won't get an animation and the
clones will jump into place. That's not a regression though since before
this change we also didn't animate in that case because the geometries
used were simply wrong (the actualGeometry was 0-sized as explained in
the last commit).
If we wanted to fix the initial animation of the overview, we'd have to
always enable animations of the window clones when syncing geometries,
but that would break the animation of the workspace when hovering the
workspaceThumbnail slider, because right now those animations are "glued
together" using the actualGeometry, so they would get out of sync.
The reason there are no errors happening in workspace.js with the
existing code is that due to a bug in Clutter the fullGeometry of
WorkspacesDisplay gets set very early while mapping the WorkspacesViews
(because the overviews ControlsManager gets an allocation during the
resource scale calculation of a ClutterClone, see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1181), so it
won't be set to null anymore when calling
WorkspacesView.animateToOverview().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1119
The fullGeometry and the actualGeometry of the WorkspacesDisplay are set
from the allocation of the overviews ControlsManager and the
WorkspacesDisplay, that means they're only valid after those actors got
their allocations during Clutters allocation cycle.
Since WorkspacesDisplay._updateWorkspacesViews() is already called while
showing/mapping the WorkspacesDisplay, that allocation cycle didn't
happen yet and we end up either setting the geometries of the views to
null (in case of the fullGeometry) or to something wrong (a 0-sized
allocation in case of the actualGeometry).
So avoid setting invalid geometries on the views by initializing both
the fullGeometry and the actualGeometry to null, and then only updating
the geometries of the views after they're set to a correct value.
Note that this means we won't correctly animate the overview the first
time we open it since the animation depends on the geometries being set,
but is being started from show(), which means no allocations have
happened yet. In practice this introduces no regression though since
before this change we simply used incorrect geometries (see the 0-sized
allocation mentioned above) on the initial opening and the animation
didn't work either.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1119
WorkspacesDisplay is a ClutterActor subclass, and overriding
the show and hide methods require chaining up, otherwise the
actor isn't actually shown or hidden.
To avoid clashing with the pre-existing show method, rename
to animateToOverview.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1295
Since a11f417cd0, both drag and scroll
gestures are added to Main.layoutManager.overviewGroup actor, while
previously drag gesture was added to Main.overview._backgroundGroup
instead. Since we cannot use 2 different actors for dragging and scrolling
anymore. just disable the swipe tracker while dragging a window.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2151
Now that both ThumbnailsBox and WorkspacesDisplay use single adjustments for
controlling indicator and scrolling, create the adjustment in OverviewControls
and pass it to both objects, effectively syncing indicator to scrolling.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/821
Instead of having a scroll adjustment in each WorkspacesView, and using the
one from primary screen in WorkspacesDisplay, have just one adjustment in
WorkspacesDisplay, and sync the changes between WorkspacesView.
This will allow to share the adjustment between WorkspacesDisplay and
ThumbnailsBox in the next commits.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/821
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.

If an else block only contains an if statement, the two can be
combined into an if-else block, which cuts down on indentation
and usually helps legibility.
There are exceptions (for instance where the outer if and else
blocks are mirrored), but where it makes sense, change the code
to avoid lonely ifs.

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most
of classes, by inheriting all the actor container classes.
Uses interfaces when needed for making sure that multiple classes will implement

As arrow functions have an implicit return value, an assignment of
this.foo = bar could have been intended as a this.foo === bar
comparison. To catch those errors, we will disallow these kinds
of assignments unless they are marked explicitly by an extra pair
of parentheses.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/731
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
While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.

Just as we did for the workspace switcher popup, support workspaces
being laid out in a single row in the window picker.
Note that this takes care of the various workspace switch actions in
the overview (scrolling, panning, touch(pad) gestures) as well as the
switch animation, but not of the overview's workspace switcher component.
There are currently no plans to support other layouts there, as the
component is inherently vertical (in fact, it was the whole reason for
switching the layout in the first place).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/575
For some reason, people are still seeing those after commit d5ebd8c8.
While this is something we really should figure out, we can work around
the issue by keeping the view actors hidden until the update is complete.

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

This attribute was previously only assigned in show(). hide() compares
this attribute to 0. If hide() is called before show() is first called,

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

We allow activating a workspace by clicking it when we know that
the user did not try to select a window and missed (namely: the
workspace is empty). However we currently always check for an
empty workspace on the primary monitor, which doesn't make sense
when the click happened on a different monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766883
Initializing the upper bound to zero means that on panning we'd start
scrolling from the first workspace even if the current workspace when
entering the overview was different since StAdjustment clamps the

This works for pointers and touch on X11, there is however no pointer

To switch workspace by keyboard in the overview, the user currently
has to use the normal keybinding. However as the vertical alignment
of workspaces makes them very similar to pages in the app picker, it

It is quite weird to have those calls/signals using WindowClone as an
argument, it is neater to pass MetaWindows around, and have each user

And use it to lookup the local WindowClone that applies. Otherwise,
WorkspaceThumbnail.WindowClone objects may be mistakenly set, which
are not usable interchangeably with Workspace.WindowClone ones. This
may lead to several misbehaviors as fields available in the second
object but not in the first one are accessed, some those undefined
values get used in math ops, which result in NaNs over the place.
Likewise, the similar functions in WorkspacesViewBase subclasses take
now MetaWindow arguments too.

The zooming animation of the windows looks nice when animating
from the workspace display page, but looks weird from other pages

original position.
