Add the view selector and adjust the positioning of elements in the
overview. Unlike the old dash, the view selector is made public to
indicate that extensions may add additional views or search providers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
As workspaces will appear as a particular view in the view selector,
merge WorkspacesControls and WorkspacesManager to control workspaces
and related controls, so that a single actor can be added to the
selector instead of positioning the elements from the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The new layout does no longer support view switching, so merge
GenericWorkspacesView and SingleView, and remove MosaicView.
Also rename or remove workspace properties and functions which
are now unused.
The grid will have a comeback with the new DND behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
Being no longer an independent menu pane, both the toggle() and
close() functions are no longer needed, and the view's structure
can be simplified a bit.
Also update the style to fit into the view selector.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The view selector should only deal with view switching, so move the
logic to deal with search (find-as-you-type, cancelling a search,
navigating/activating results) into the SearchTab.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The view selector is a tabbed interface with a search entry. Starting
a search switches focus to the results' tab, ending a search moves the
focus back to the previously selected tab. Activating a normal tab
while a search is active cancels the search.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
With the new layout, search results will be displayed in an independent
view like window previews, applications and possible future additions;
it does not make much sense keeping it with the switching logic, so move
the code to its own file.
Also remove the dash-prefix from the relevant style classes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The new dash implementation is a single-column vertical sidebar,
whose items are scaled dynamically to fit the available height.
If the height is still exceeded after scaling down to a minimum
item size, excess items are cut off.
The now unused old dash implementation is renamed to OldDash, as
its code will be used as a base for the new view selector element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
As the button to add workspaces will move to the same position as
the new workspace drop area in drag mode, the latter is redundant
and can be removed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
Overlaying inactive workspaces with a gradient to fade out the actors
does no longer work when re-using the normal desktop background. If
we keep the current DND behavior, we probably want to implement a real
fade effect - for now, just remove the visually disruptive shadows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
While scaling the desktop background with the window previews represents
workspaces quite intuitively, the approach is not without problems.
As window previews in the overview behave quite differently to "real"
windows, the representation of workspaces as miniature versions of
"real" workspaces is flawed. The scaling also makes the transitions
to and from the overview much more visually expensive, without adding
much benefit.
Leaving the background in place provides more visual stability to the
transitions and emphasizes the distinctive behavior of elements in the
overview.

The layout of recent mockups occupies the space previously reserved
for the info bar with the view selector. As the bar's purpose is
mainly to provide the user with feedback, it makes sense to use the
existing message tray facility instead of moving the bar elsewhere.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The scrollbar is the main culprit for cluttered controls in the
linear view - all its functionality is already provided by the
workspace indicators, so it is save to remove the scrollbar in
order to clean up the interface.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
Instead of hiding the drag actor temporarily to determine the actor
beneath it, make it invisible to picks while dragging using the new
shell_util_set_hidden_from_pick().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634560
At times it is desireable to hide actors from being picked even
with a mode of CLUTTER_PICK_ALL.
Currently we use a pattern of
clutter_actor_hide();
clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos();
clutter_actor_show();
in these cases, which gets hideous if the actor we want to exclude
from the pick is located in another module.
A more elegant solution is to connect a handler to the ::pick signal,
which stops further emission.
Credit for the idea goes to Owen Taylor.

The code to draw the root background has now been moved into Mutter,
with added smarts to not draw obscured portions. Remove the old
version of the code and clone the Mutter background actor to draw
the background in the overview.

We weren't actually referencing the ShellTrayIcon actors at all
on creation, but would unreference them when they were removed,
causing crashes.
When we reference the actors, use g_object_ref_sink() so that
memory management is consistent whether or not the actors are
subsequently added to a parent actor.
Thanks for Jon McCann for help in tracking this down.

Add a "gicon" property so that a GIcon can be used instead of an
icon name, while still getting icon recoloring from the theme.
Also include a compatibility wrapper in libshell until GJS has
support for interface static methods.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622451
gnome-volume-control-applet was renamed to gnome-sound-applet when
moved to the control-center module, so we need to check for both names
when identifying the legacy status icon.
Connect to the "changed" signal on the default icon theme, and
when it triggers:
- Evict all cached looked up icons from the StTextureCache
- Fake a style change on all StThemeContext; this will result
in StIcon looking up icons again.

Add to deps for Fedora and Debian:
expat: needed by polkit
libxklavier-devel: need by libgnomekbd
Based on a patch by Kiyoshi Aman <kiyoshi.aman@gmail.com>.

It is not referencing them when adding, and also it is connecting
to the "destroy" signal, emitted on dispose, so there is no risk
of storing finalized objects.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634781
We were always drawing the border and background of each
StThemeNode, even if they were transparent. The simple
optimization of checking the alpha provides a significant
performance boost (in a quick test, it increased the
overviewFpsSubsequent metric in the core performance test
from 28fps to 35fps).

It was decided at GNOME Summit that we would remove the invisible
setting until we have a better story for how it works with chat
and other sharing/messaging applications. We'd also need to
figure out how it relates to busy.
The action is far less common than powering off. It is mostly
used for performing system updates so the update tool should
offer the option directly. Also, currently the Shut Down option
dialog offers Restart anyway. We would like to keep the number
of entries in this menu as limited (close to 7) as we can.
put a border around the "16px icon in 48px icon widget" test, to
verify that the icon is being centered correctly
add spacing and fix alignment for general prettiness
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633865
Now that we're using St.Icon in the Javascript, there is no reason
to have separate st_texture_cache_load_icon_name() and
st_texture_cache_load_icon_name_for_theme(), instead just add
the StThemeNode argument to st_texture_cache_load_icon_name().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633866
Switch from St.TextureCache.load_named_icon() to using St.Icon for named
icons. Along with the advantage of getting colorization right for symbolic
icons, this allows moving some icon sizes into the CSS.
In the CSS, the system status icon size is changed to be 1em (=16px for the
default font size), at the request of the artists. See bug 613448.
