The gnome-panel allows the user to hover over a tasklist entry
while draging to activate a minimized or obscured window and drop onto it.
Implement a similar behaviour by allowing draging to the activities button or
the hotcorner (and thus opening the overview), which allows the user to
activate any window (even on different workspaces) as a drop target.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601731
When the user is doing a drag-and-drop, we want to temporarily show the
stage to allow them to drag to a different window. But we're not "really"
in the overview, and getting a grab would conflict with the X client doing
the drag and drop.
So add a showTemporarily()/hideTemporarily() pair of methods that show
the overview without grabbing.
This adds a lot more possibilities for asynchronous race conditions, so
rework the code to be more robust against multiple calls to show*()
and hide*(). The interpretation is now that all calls to show*() and
hide*() affect the state, but if we have conflicting calls to show and
hide we wait until the current animation is finished before correcting
to the right visual state.

Gdk.Display.get_device_state() was removed in favor of a

When receiving a "devices-changed" signal from BluetoothApplet,

With this patch, signal emission when no device actually changed

Fix the panel menus to avoid unnecessarily bouncing out of modal (bug
634194) and to do a better job of keeping the keyboard focus in the
right place
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618885
Until recently, the clutter keyboard focus was almost always kept on
the stage, and bits of code that wanted to do stuff with the keyboard
would just watch for key-press-events on the stage. In several places,
the code wasn't even bothering to ensure that the focus was on the
stage, which caused problems with other actors that explicitly grabbed
focus.
A previous fix for this (f21403fd) was to always reset the focus to
the stage after calling pushModal(), but a better fix is to just
actually make use of the keyboard focus everywhere rather than having
everyone try to read events off the stage.
Now pushModal(actor) also does actor.grab_key_focus(), and various
bits of code have been changed to read key events off their own
toplevels rather than off the stage, meaning there's no chance of them
accidentally getting someone else's events.

Instead of showing submenus on the left side, make PopupSubMenuMenuItem

As all children were considered for the grid's layout, hidden items showed up as

According to the designers, system notifications should be transient;
so now that transient notifications are supported properly, make use
of it instead of using a timeout to remove the associated source.
Transient notifications are removed after being shown. If the summary
is being shown while they appear, they are represented in it by a new
source icon.
We always create a new source for new transient notifications to
ensure that they don't replace the latest persistent notification
associated with the source. Because we generally don't want any
new or resident notifications to be replaced by others, associating
multiple notifications with a source is the next thing we will
implement.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633412
Resident notifications don't get removed when they are clicked or
one of their actions is invoked, and are only removed when the app
that created them requests them to be removed or sends another
notification.
Remove the source when a notification associated with it is removed.
Except if the source is a tray icon.
Make sure that we pop down the tray when a notification is clicked
or one of the actions of a non-resident notification is selected.
Based on the initial patch by Jonathan Matthew.

Mixing submenu menuitems and toggle menuitems results in poor layout.
The fix is to right-align the submenu arrows. Since we already need to
right-align the battery percentages as well, add alignment support to
PopupBaseMenuItem.addActor(), and update stuff for that.
Also remove the "column" param from addActor() since it hadn't
actually been implemented correctly before.

Since we are keeping a current pointer position anyways, we
don't have to continually call global.get_pointer() which is
a round trip to the magnifier; make ZoomRegion simply fetch
a current position stored in the Magnifier object.

Change the proportional algorithm so stop moving the zoom region
when cursor is in a "padding region" at the edge of the screen.
(The padding region is a 10th of the screen at 2x zoom, and smaller
for higher zooms.)
Based on earlier versions from Jon McCann and Florian Muellner.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629950
This basic point of this change is to avoid always creating a
hidden Clutter.Clone actor for the default present-but-not-active
zoom region. The position of the viewport and region of interest
are now stored in member variables, and the actors are only created
and updated when the region is active.
Other significant changes:
* Unused public functions are removed or made private
* The mouse tracking position is immediately updated when options
like the zoom are changed, not just on the next mouse motion.
* ZoomRegion.setROI() now updates the zoom, not just the position;
a FIXME is added to the D-Bus interface for a place where the
D-Bus interface contains duplicate possibly conflicting information
* Lens-mode is now only effectively off when the magnifier is
fullscreen, instead of actually modifying the member variable;
this makes things work properly when changing out of full-screen
mode.
* When the clamping to screen edges is turned on, we now immediately
clamp.
* The handling of setting the position to fullscreen as compared
to just setting the viewport to fullscreen is untangled.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633582
The magnifier should be enabled/disabled via the appropriate
GSettings key - otherwise the setting gets out of sync with the
actual state of the magnifier.

The popup menus of application icons in both the dash and the app view
are positioned on the right of the icon. In the case of the dash this
results in the menu being displayed off-screen in RTL locales, so move it
to the opposite side instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635645
In some circumstances, a boxpointer would draw itself with the arrow
partially overlapping the rounded corner, causing things to not line
up correctly. Don't do that.
And while we're at it, don't draw the pointer very very close to the
corner either, since it looks odd if the corner flows directly into
the arrow.

Delegate the emission of the window-drag-begin/window-drag-end

Current mockups display all search results as icons as used by
application results, so change the default result display to use

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

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

The scrollbar is the main culprit for cluttered controls in the
linear view - all its functionality is already provided by the

NotificationDaemon-based notifications have markup in the banner/body,
but Telepathy-based notifications don't. (Eg, an XMPP message
containing "<b>foo</b>" should show up angle brackets and all, not as

where there should and shouldn't be markup, and use that
appropriately.

According to the HIG we should use ellipsis when:
"Label the menu item with a trailing ellipsis ("...") only if the command requires further
input from the user before it can be performed. Do not add an ellipsis to items that only
present a confirmation dialog (such as Delete), or that do not require further input
(such as Properties, Preferences or About)"
So adjust the use of ellipsis to match that.
Pointed out by Michael Monreal.
We updated the normal devices part, but we forgot the part about
the primary device (possibly because it is not reported as such

If the drag actor is destroyed as part of a drag target accepting it,
we were not calling ungrabEvents, meaning the mouse/keyboard remained

Previously, when snapping back a drag actor, we moved it back to its
original stage-relative position and scale. This worked fine if its
parent was still in the same place it was when the drag started, but
failed in cases like the linear workspace layout window drag-and-drop,
where dragging a window would "zoom out" its parent workspace, causing
the snapback to send it to the wrong place.
Fix this by instead snapping the actor back to "where the actor would
have been right now if it were still at its original scale and
position within its original parent actor" rather than "where it was
before the drag started"

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.
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.
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.
