Now that full-sized window previews are allowed again it makes sense to
align the window previews with the pixel grid to prevent unscaled
windows from looking blurry in the overview.
Currently the chrome layer decides itself which events on the window
clone should show or hide the chrome, which makes it harder to extent.
Instead, move the decision to the window clone by letting it emit
show/hide-chrome events when appropriate.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Previews are currently limited to at most 70% of the actual window
size. This was done to indicate more clearly that the overview is
active and the window cannot be interacted with. However since then
other indications like the vignette effect have been added, so
artificially limiting the preview size doesn't look necessary anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Now that only one window title is visible at any time, it no longer
matters if a title extends into other window previews, so we can
always show the full title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
While the new title position gives the previews more space, they now
overlay the content which may hide valuable information. Address this
by only revealing the title as additional information on hover, like
we do for other auxiliary elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We consider the window previews the primary way to identify a window,
so it makes sense to give them as much space as possible. So in order
to not have title captions take up too much vertical space, overlay
them on top of the preview borders.

In case where a method- and property name overlap, using the method
is less unambiguous than I thought - mozjs52-based gjs will only see
the method, while mozjs38-based gjs will only see the property. We
are in luck though, and the real property name contains dashes that
allow us to refer to the property in a way that works for all gjs
versions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785090
ClutterActor has both a has_pointer() method and a :has-pointer
property (that we represent as 'has_pointer'). So far gjs was
able to deal with the name overlap, but now trying to use the
property will instead test for the availability of the method.
Just avoid the conflict by switching to the method, which is
unambiguous.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785090
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of

While we've always considered it good style to initialize JS properties,
some code that relies on uninitialized properties having an implicit
value of 'undefined' has slipped in over time. The updated SpiderMonkey
version used by gjs now warns when accessing those properties, so we
should make sure that they are properly initialized to avoid log spam,
even though all warnings addressed here occur in conditionals that
produce the correct result with 'undefined'.

There were some source IDs that were not being reset to zero when
removing the associated sources, resulting on some critical errors
being dumped when _realRecalculateWindowPositions() got called
after that point, via _delayedWindowRepositioning().
Dragging and dropping app icons is expected to work anywhere over a
workspace, however overlaid elements are added to a separate hierarchy
and can thus block valid drop targets. This wasn't much of an issue
while we had just the window title, but since the addition of the
focus border, drops on window previews stopped working entirely.
Fix this by hiding all non-reactive overlay elements from picks.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737166
Using a MetaWindowActor's shaped texture as the source for window
clones means that if there are further MetaSurfaceActor children
(e.g. a wayland client using sub-surfaces) they don't get cloned.
This obviously wasn't an issue until wayland clients introduced the
possibility of having multiple MetaSurfaceActors under a
MetaWindowActor but there's no fundamental reason we can't clone the
toplevel actor.
WorkspaceThumbnail.WindowClone is the one class that was already using
the MetaWindowActor instead of the texture although it seems to have
been an unintended change in commit
8b99617513.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756715
draggable.startDrag() is called directly here (i.e. manualMode is not set),
we must keep track of the touch event and pass it to startDrag() then.

The previous code was applying the per row scaling factor of the current
row to the cumulative sum of all previous rows when calculating the y
position of a row. This resulted in the row being shifted up so it would
overlap other windows when the previous rows were not using the same
scaling as the current one.
Also the previous code was not considering that the spacing does not get
scaled when calculating the scaling factor. This is wrong as well and
could result in the overview overlapping the workspace switcher in
situations with lots of windows open.
This fix gives each row the appropriate height according to its scaling
factor and then ensures that the grid remains vertically centered after
losing some of its height.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744883
Turns out this makes interaction with the OSK or candidate popups
using a mouse basically impossible since they get dismissed when the

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
deal with their own representations of these.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735972
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.

Since mutter commit 527c53a2a0582eba, MetaWorkspace::window-removed

Assume the test is no longer necessary nowadays to fix this very
obvious regression.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735608
Currently we are removing tweens of the button and border, but not from
the title. That causes the title to be in wrong positions sometimes when
dragging windows on the overview, given that the slider is moving and
therefore the windows + overlay are moving too.
To avoid that, remove tweens of the title as well.
The zooming animation of the windows looks nice when animating
from the workspace display page, but looks weird from other pages
like apps page or search page since the windows come from nowhere
with an initial position not known to the user.
Instead of that just fade the desktop with the windows in its
original position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732901
When returning to the desktop from overview we always show the
workspaceDisplay, given that is which have the windows clones to allow
animations.
The problem becomes when previous that we were at some other
page, like Search or AppDisplay. The problem is that when showing the
workspaceDisplay the windows are repositioned. That's wanted except
when returning from overview, since that causes unwanted animations
of the windows.
To avoid that just not reposition the windows if leaving the overview.
We already have the width and height information cached in JS,
let's avoid going through gjs-gobject-clutter to retrieve them
again. As a plus, with normal properties the optimizer should
be able to generate better code.

Windows in the overview should be like they appear in the workspace,

Simply use St's existing key navigation system by making all the window
clones StWidgets, and making the WorkspacesView a focus group.
Since the workspace view is effectively "fake", we need to add a focus

we can keynav inside it properly.

Because of the animation and collision with relayout, the title of windows in overview may not appear, mainly
the first time we enter in overview
With an animation delay of 0.1s, you'll not see the difference
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709392
We added special code to sort each row in the overview so that
windows were less likely to cross lines, but the awkward control
flow meant that everything but the last row got sorted.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707197
Commit 16fa186b63 attempted to fix the zoom animation problem
by throwing changes on the floor while the overview is animating. This has
the side effect that we might end up missing some positioning changes causes
windows to overlap the workspace thumbnails.
So revert those changes and fix it by simply by passing
WindowPositionFlags.ANIMATE during the overview animation.
This way the animation works as expected and we don't miss any position changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703105
Meta laters are invoked in reverse order of registration, so
having multiple laters propagating the geometry cause all but the
first one in the frame (which is usually wrong) to be ignored.
Instead, queue at most one later call, and use the last set geometry
in the callback.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700853
If windows are removed or added, we shouldn't keep the old layout, as it's
not valid anymore. If windows are removed, this is especially bad, as the
rows contain references to the removed window objects, causing crashes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698622
Instead of applying an additional scale factor to all the rows in the
layout, only do it for those rows that don't fit.
This avoids the visual distraction of resizing a row when there's no
need to.
Instead of doing an entire recalculation of window positions when
sliding the thumbnails box, simply recalculate the position and scale
with basic aspect ratio math. This also ensures that windows won't
miraculously swap positions, even if we reposition windows while the
thumbnails box is expanded.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Split out the part that moves the window clones around from
the part that calculates the window clone positions, and rename
both methods so that the overall meaning is more clear.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Repositioning will eventually be separated from recalculation
to accomodate two different geometries, so we'll need to do
the padding and area manipulation in two different areas.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
As we want to eventually track two geometries, we need to rename
our very plain "_x, _y, _width, _height". While we could just prefix
them, I think that stuffing them in an object makes more sense.
At the same time, make the variable and method name more descriptive
by adding such a prefix, as well as a bit of documentation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
This was saved so that doing something which called relayout
but only changed the area rectangle would simply be needed to
recompute window scaling parameters. With the new overview
relayout, the flow control changed, it turns out that the
current layout is always cleared. Remove this for now, and we'll
put in a different strategy for this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Windows can be restacked at any time, including when the stackAbove
property of the window clone is being dragged, and thus parented to
the uiGroup. To do stacking properly, we need to skip it for the duration
of the drag, and sync it again at the end (which is already done by
mutter because of the workspace change)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685285
This can happen if you open two or three terminal windows, and then
open the overview -- they're not centered. The issue is that because
of the WINDOW_CLONE_MAXIMUM_SCALE clamping, the scale that is being
laid out is different from the scale that the layout was calculated
for.
Implement and document a hack-ish solution which simply keeps the
scale for the layout as originally calculated, but centers the
windows inside the cell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
Multiplication is linear, so we can split this out as a separate
component. This will make it easier to think of it as an additional
per-window scaling factor, rather than tweaking the scale a bit,
which is more correct to the model.

Using the scroll wheel to switch workspaces makes sense, but it is
currently only supported on the workspace switcher, as it conflicts

Right now we arrange the window thumbnails in a grid if there are more than two
rows of them. This was originally intended to reduce the amount of noise in the
thumbnail arrangement. It also made sense when the thumbnails were of a similar
size.
Nowadays we reflect the size of windows in the size of the thumbnail. This
leads to huge amounts of space between some windows when they are grid aligned.
Removing the grid alignment would also lead to larger thumbnails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694210

After the first time the title was placed, we were setting its width,
thus forcing get_preferred_width() to return that as the minimum and

Since the introduction of overlay hover borders, there has a been
a timing disconnection between hiding the border and button, and
this creates noise and reduces the effect of the window+overlay

are shown and hidden always at the same time.
Also, consolidate the code to make it clear to future authors that

Right-click menus in the dash can be dismissed by clicking anywhere
outside the menu. However, if a window clone is located beneath the

The cause of this unexpected behavior is that window previews are
activated on button-release, which is delivered to the preview after
the menu releases its grab on button-press. Use a ClutterClickAction
instead and let Clutter do the right thing, i.e. only trigger a
'clicked' signal when a button-release event is matched by a
corresponding button-press event.

Commit 64b2b4a7d4 changed the monitor layout handling, resulting
in some layout errors due to a subtle change in memory handling:
when zooming a window in the overview, the available zoom area is
calculated by subtracting the panel height from the primary monitor
area. This area used to be a copy of the monitor rect, but as now
the rect itself is returned, zooming a window on the primary monitor
repeatedly modifies the monitor rect, leading to layout errors in
various parts of the shell.

If we're dragging a window around and we need to reposition the windows,
due to e.g. the sliding in of the thumbnails or some other reason, then we
need to consider the original position of the dragged window, rather than

other windows for instance on snap-back if you moved the dragged window
past some other window.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643786
We currently show the workspace in the overview in a rectangle
with the same aspect ratio as the screen. Originally this was
probably done since it showed the desktop, but we don't do this
anymore, and the positioning of the windows in the overview is
strictly a grid, so its not in any way related to monitor geometry.
Additionally, in the multihead case the screen aspect ratio is
very different from the overview monitor geometry, so a lot of
space is lost.
So, instead we just fill the entire inner rectangle of the overview
with the workspace. However, the way the zoom into and out of the
workspace right now is by scaling the workspace so that it covers
the entire monitor. This cannot really work anymore when the workspace
is a different aspect ratio. Furthermore the coordinates of the
window clone actors are of two very different types in the "original
window" case and the "window in a slot case". One is screen relative,
the other is workspace relative. This makes it very hard to compute
the cost of window motion distance in computeWindowMotion.
In order to handle this we change the way workspace actor positioning
and scaling work. All workspace window clone actors are stored in
true screen coordingates, both the original window positions and the
in-a-slot ones. Global scaling of the workspace is never done, we
just reposition everything in both the initial zoom and when the
controls appear from the side.
There is one issue in the initial and final animations, which is that
the clip region we normally have for the workspacesView will limit the
animation of the clones to/from the original positions, so we disable
the clip region during these animations.

Windows may change their size while the overview is open, e.g. when
switching panels in the control center. Make sure that the preview's
position and overlay are updated in that case.

Given that the grid view is gone there is no point in animating the
window previews on all workspaces anymore so just do it for the current
one avoid taking a slow down caused by animating windows on other workspaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637353
Delegate the emission of the window-drag-begin/window-drag-end
signals to overview functions, as done already for other items.
This will enable objects to react to those signals without having
access to the workspace objects / the workspaces view.
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
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634836
MutterWindow and MutterPlugin have been renamed to MetaWindowActor
and MetaPlugin, mutter_plugin_list_windows() to
meta_plugin_list_window_actors(). Adapt to those changes.

Although within St itself there are situations where the semantics of
these functions (return TRUE or FALSE and return the actual value in
an out parameter) is useful, it's mostly just annoying at the
application level, where you generally know that the CSS property is
going to specified, and there is no especially sane fallback if it's
not.
So rename the current methods to lookup_color, lookup_double, and
lookup_length, and add new get_color, get_double, and get_length
methods that don't take an "inherit" parameter, and return their
values directly. (Well, except for get_color, due to the lack of (out
caller-allocates) in gjs.)
And update the code to use either the old or new methods as appropriate.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632590
Return a DND.DragMotionResult constant from delegate _handleDragMotion
methods as well as the existing return value from the drag monitor method dragMotion.

The design calls for item to not appear abruptly, but not too slow
either - 100ms seems to be a good sweet spot for elements which are
supposed to appear "instantly".
Add a fade effect to the alt-tab popup and set the timings for other
fade effects to 100ms.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621247
Currently, the drag and drop code assumes that on a successful drop
the target will either consume the drag actor or that it is otherwise
OK to destroy the actor.
As the drag behavior for window preview was changed, dropping a preview
on the dash now results in the preview being swallowed - to fix, add an
option to restore the actor in case of a successful drop as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619203
This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
A single window that does not need to be scaled down, should be centered
and not placed at the bottom.
To avoid blurryness window positions should be pixel aligned.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617827
Centralize the update of actor visibilities (overlays, shadows,
off-screen workspaces). Adjust the way scrolling is handled so
that it works correctly with removed workspaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610191
We can't use gdk_display_get_pointer/gdk_window_get_pointer from gjs
when XKB is active. We already had a wrapper that did the
get-modifier-state part of that, but some places also need the
get-pointer-location part of it. So update our wrapper to return both,
and update js code to use it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613428
The original window dnd code needed to track whether or not the
pointer was in the clone. Some later rewrite made this unnecessary,
but we were still keeping track anyway.
After closing a window, the remaining previews are repositioned
after a timeout; when it is called while the user zooms a preview,
the window positions get all messed up, so postpone the positioning
in this case until the zoom ends.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613536
Using a clone for the drag actor causes the animation into
the final position not to work as expected; instead use
the newly added DND parameters to change the original
drag actors size and opacity. (This reverts the change in
011db9f).
Since we are using the original actor, we have to be careful
not to change it during the drag, so don't actually position
dragged window actors in Workspace.positionWindows().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613367
Currently, the workspace objects are destroyed and recreated on
view switches. Instead, keep the objects around and reparent the
workspace actors on view switches.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610191
As the repositioning after closing a window preview is delayed, it is
possible that the timeout is triggered while leaving the overview. In
that case the previews move to the new overview position and are changed
abruptly to the original window position when the overview zoom is done.
To prevent this, disconnect the handler when leaving the overview.
Hide the original actor during a grab, and create a new
clone. This is easier than trying to ensure we maintain
the state of the original window clone.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607821
Currently clicking on an empty spot on the workspace actors switches to the workspace, this has a side effect that when for some reason (like using a touchpad),
the user misses the window he intends to open he will end up with the currently focused window instead.
Disable this behaviour if more than one window is open (in that case the user has to explicitly target a specific window).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610868
When closing windows in the window picker, the remaining windows
move to their new positions, which prevents the user from performing
additional actions in the picker until the animation stops and the
user adjusts to the new layout.
Instead we try to be smart and delay the repositioning, either until
the pointer stops moving or until it leaves the workspace.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611167
When figuring out where to position window previews, use the clone's
position instead of the the original meta window. There shouldn't be
a difference when entering the overview, but it makes the motion when
opening/closing new windows in the overview tinier and more predictable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611167
When leaving the overview by hitting escape or super, all windows animate
to their original positions. Zoomed windows are kept above others until
the animation ends, then the focused window is brought to the front; as
this looks odd if the zoomed window does not have focus, cancel the zoom
in that case before leaving the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609243
While zooming, a window clone is reparented to the stage and thus cannot
be destroyed automatically by the "parent" container. To prevent the clone
and the corresponding overlay from leaking, we enforce destroying the clone
with the workspace.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609243
WindowOverlay has two actors, both with custom style properties, which
share a common _onStyleChanged() handler. This is not a problem when
entering the overview, because the actors' parent (the workspaces group)
is hidden while the actors are added. However, when windows are added to
the workspace while in the overview (e.g. when opening a new window or
dragging a window from one workspace to another), adding the first actor
to the workspaces group triggers a style-changed signal - the handler
then calls st_widget_get_theme_node() on both actors, which triggers a
warning as the second actor has not been parented yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610279
Unify the style of <delegate>.destroy() methods to only contain a
call to <delegate>.actor.destroy() and handle additional cleanup
in a _onDestroy() signal handler.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609454
This way, clicking a message tray icon while the overview is open will
close the overview when activating its window.
Remove some other overview-related activation code which is now
redundant.
Also, remove calls to "global.get_current_time()" when calling
Main.activateWindow, since it's unnecessary (activateWindow will call
it itself if you don't pass in that arg).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609765
As desktop icons don't have any purpose in the overview (except for
distracting the user), fade them out when entering the overview.
Unfortunately, the fading effect affects performance, therefore hide
icons directly when there are maximized windows on the desktop.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600999
'workspace_relative' is used in workspace.js, not in workspacesView.js
Change a couple strings to have single quotes instead of double quotes to indicate that
they don't need to be translated.
Matching the 20091114 mockup, the default workspace view
is now a scrollable horizontal list, with a control to
switch between this and the previous grid view.
