To avoid loading applications from two different systems, use
ShellAppSystem solely. This unifies the initial load and the
reload.
Extend ShellAppSystem to also load settings/preferences, and
ensure they appear in the search.
Drag and drop was not working since the (non-reactive, invisible)
chrome group was on top of most of the screen. Explicitly set
a 0x0 size on that group to resolve the problem.
The goal of the workspace view is to identify and select windows. Transparency
results in the blending of the window and the background (and icons on the
desktop). I think the transparency is counterproductive.
We used it in the initial mockups kind of as a lark - it wasn't well thought
out.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582647
Add a ShellTextureCache class which loads (and can cache)
pixmap->texture conversions. This fixes a problem with the
async code in ClutterTexture that it was lower priority
than animations, and also ensures we're really only
loading these pixbufs once in the icon case.
Adds an explicit "chrome" layer for the panel (and later the sidebar),
managing the input region and struts for them, and hiding them when
fullscreen windows are present or the user enters the overlay.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581771
In addition to pressing the Activities button, the overlay can be entered
by pressing the System key or Alt+F1. We want the button to look pressed in
in these cases too.
Rather than having main.js manage this, put it into overlay.js, and
have the overlay object emit signals that other code can watch to do
things when the overlay is showing/shown/hiding/hidden.
Using appExec for the last application that registered the document was failing
in certain cases, such as for the Open Office for which the application
execution string is being registered as "soffice %u" in ~/.recently-used.xbel.
In general, using the default application for the mime type seems to be a more
predictable way to open documents. We still fall back to using the appExect
for the last application if the default application for a given mime type was
not found.
Previously we forced all windows to shrink at least as much as the
workspace itself did. Now we allow to shrink by a smaller amount (or
not at all) if they'll still fit within their allotted slot.

This is a fairly simple implementation, not all that different from

main.js: Add create_app_launch_context() with code from appDisplay;
additionally set the workspace on the launch context to the current
workspace so that the application launches on the right workspace
even if the user switches before the app starts.
appDisplay.js docDisplay.js: Use Main.create_app_launch_context()
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580658 (Reported by Igor Vatavuk)
Now code can call Main.addShellActor(actor) to declare that that actor
is part of the shell, and so it should (a) be protected by wm struts, and
(b) be part of the stage input area, and then that code automatically
deals with updating if the actor changes size or visibility.
Use the actual image from the file for expanded mode previews for image files. Use the pixbuf loader to set the appropriate image size as soon as the image is prepared, but before it is loaded, to avoid loading large images. Apply the pixbuf orientation setting so that the image is properly rotated. Preserve the original size of the image if its dimensions are smaller than the space available.
Make sure we provide the accurate available width for the details actor. This
width has to exclude the padding and border width. Also provide the available height for the details actor.
The overlay looks nicer with the root window pixmap drawn on the
background. It is scaled up to twice the size, with positioning
based on the rule of thirds.
The sideshow animations shown when entering or leaving the
overlay and toggling the extended view were implemented by
Marina Zhurakhinskaya. They replace the old method of having a
black rectangle behind the workspaces that partly covers the
sideshow during transitions.
configure.ac: Add gdk-x11, clutter-x11 and clutter-glx modules.
overlay.js: Add a root window pixmap actor, make sideshow width
definitions more logical, replace the way the sideshow
animates when entering or leaving the overlay.
workspaces.js: Remove the backdrop, add helper functions for the
overlay transitions.
shell-global.[ch]: Add a method that creates an actor displaying
the root window pixmap and returning clones of it.
ShellAppMonitor now depends on gmenu to load menus.
Use the menu data from ShellAppMonitor to show a menu list.
GenericDisplay implementations can now have a sidebar area. We
handle keystrokes such as left/right explicitly.
Some internal API changes to account for the fact that a display
can have another filter in addition to the search.
The panel show/hide changes broke things if window restacking occurred
while the overlay was active. Now instead of having the panel set the
input area itself, main.js just watches whether or not the panel is
visible, and updates things itself (taking the modal state into
account as well).
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576903
The diagonal arrangement currently used in the overlay when there are
more than 6 windows is hard to read and hides most of the previews.
Both of these issues are fixed by arranging the windows in a grid pattern.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576269
Change the overlay behavior to display more details about an item on single
click and launch it on double click.
When the item is clicked on in the expanded view, the details are shown in the
area on the right that is allocated for showing details. The details pop-up is
not shown for the item that was clicked on, but it is shown for other items on
hover and for the item that was clicked if the mouse pointer is moved back to
it.
Both hovering and single clicking results in the details pop-up being shown in
the regular view. (Single clicking actually doesn't do anything in the regular
view, but the details pop-up is shown due to hovering within the time it takes
to perform a single click.)
The overlay now uses 3 columns on the wide screen for displaying items in the
expanded view. This allows keeping the size of the details area the same for
expanded and regular views.
Add shell_get_button_event_click_count() to shell-global.[hc] to retrieve
the click count for button press and release events.
Add selectedItemDetails public variable actor to the generic display to
contain the details of the selected item and be shown in the overlay when
it is in the expanded view mode.
Fix the bug when the sideshow section would loose selection in the expanded
view if it did not have any items, and would not regain it if it was repopulated
with some items (e.g. when the search string changes).
The sideshow no longer takes overlay parent and width as constructor arguments.
It is added to the overlay inside the overlay code and manages its own width
instead (which is ok, since it is pretty much a private class within overlay).
Clean up the way selection is moved when an item is launched in order to have
selection on click and activation on double click be implemented in a similar
fashion. An unneeded _activatedItem variable in generic display was removed,
and the selected item is activated instead when necessary. The flow of processing
signals changed so that generic display no longer waits for the selection from
a different sideshow section to be removed before selecting an item that was
clicked on. This removed the need for doActivate() function.
The panel looks nicer when it is drawn as a semi-transparent gradient
above the background color.
shell-global.[ch]: Add a function that creates vertical gradient actors.
panel.js: Change the look of the panel and put the tray in a framed box.
overlay.js: Extend the overlay background to behind the panel.
Because we can't set the stage input area to a non-rectangular shape,
we don't allow the panel to be partially overlapped; it is always either
on top, or else completely hidden.
Showing previews after a delay allows the user to move the mouse around
the screen without triggering constant pop-ups.
Make sure we remove the pop-up when the user hits Escape and redisplay
the pop-up if we are updating the section results due to a change in space
allocated for it.
Rename protected variable _hasPreview to _showPreview in order to not have
the naming conflict with a new private variable _havePointer, which we
name in first person.
For development and demonstration purposes, it's neat to be able to
record a screencast of gnome-shell without any external setup.
Built-in recording can also give much better quality than is possible
with a generic desktop recording, since we hook right into the paint
loop.
src/shell-recorder.[ch]: A general-purposes object to record a Clutter
stage to a GStreamer stream.
src/shell-recorder-src.[ch]: A simple GStreamer source element (similar
to appsrc in the most recent versions of GStreamer) for injecting
captured data into a GStreamer pipeline.
src/test-recorder.c: Test program that records a simple animation.
configure.ac src/Makefile.am: Add machinery to conditionally build
ShellRecorder.
tools/build/gnome-shell-build-setup.sh: Add gstreamer packages
to the list of required packages for Fedora.
js/ui/main.js: Hook up the recorder to a MetaScreen ::toggle-recording
keybinding.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575290
The pop-up previews have larger images than the item displays, which is
particularly nice when we are displaying thumbnails for documents. The
previews are also at least as wide as is required to fit the item title
on one line and the item description inside them is wrapped. Therefore
they act as tooltips showing the full title and description text.
The preview updates when the item under the mouse pointer changes. Changes
in overlay.js ensure that we keep the sideshow on top when the
workspaces are not being animated so that we can find the item over which the
pointer is located.
The preview is removed when the item it is shown for starts being dragged.
_hideInProgress variable was added to represent the state of the overlay
when the code for hiding it was already triggered. This fixes the error
which was happening when the code for hiding the overlay was triggered
multiple times (for example by the user clicking the Activities button
twice when exiting the overlay).
When a window is added while overlay is being exited (e.g. because
some application was launched), we don't want to add that window to
the workspace's window clones. Previously, the window clone was added
and an animation to place the windows to their overlay workspace view
positions was triggered, which resulted in the wrong animation being
shown and an abrupt change in window positions when the actual workspace
was shown.
Add a boolean argument to two _positionWindows() calls that were missing
an argument.
was browsing exiting results
This is most noticeable when viewing results in xephyr, and then opening
a document in your regular session. But it could also be noticeable if
downloading a new file completes while the user is in the overlay.
This patch also moves the call to _displayMatchedItems() to _redisplay
instead of making it in both _setDefaultList() and _doSearchFilter().
Sliding the workspaces back in when the user starts dragging an item in the
expanded display mode allows the user to select a workspace in which the item
should be launched and stay in the overlay mode.
This patch adds code to dnd.js that handles notifying actors when a drag item is being dragged over them. Overlay code uses such notification to unset expanded display modes and trigger sliding in of the workspaces.
If the drag is cancelled the drag item snaps back to its source or disappears at the original position of its source if the source is no longer displayed.
Add a display control that contains page numbers for the result
pages and is shown in the expanded results view. All of the page selection and
switching is handled by the GenericDisplay which exposes a displayControl
actor, which is then displayed by the Sideshow.
We had problems because the More links were reacting on press but
other elements were reacting on release. (Often the link would trigger
*and* an item.) Just connecting to ::button-release-event on
ClutterText gives a stuck grab (since ClutterText gets the press
but not the release), so we need more complicated code that we
encapsulate into a new class.

Put sideshow sections into boxes so that we can slide them out with a single 'easeOutQuad' transition.
Handle expanding the documents section in the same fashion as we handle expanding the applications section.
Place "More..." labels inside Big Boxes with x_align set to Big.BoxAlignment.END so that we don't have to position them manually.
Before the run dialog was changing the focus, but because we were
only setting it once, we ended up with nothing focused after the run
dialog was destroyed.
mutter_plugin_get_windows() returns NULL at plugin-initialization time,
so we have to wait until idle time to figure out which workspaces are
being used and remove the unused ones.

Previously we were stripping all whitespace. Instead, just strip leading+trailing
whitespace, split the remaining search into individual terms which we search
for independently.
Items are grouped by the number of terms they match, then sorted
alphabetically.
Divide the screen into a grid and use it to determine the layout of the overlay components in a more consistent manner.
Remove the 'Add workspace' control and slide the workspaces

Automatically removes tweens on destroyed actors, and provides

tween is added for the same property. Here we use the overwrite
callback to tell mutter that the effects are done.
mode. When this control is clicked, documents display section slides down,
workspaces display slides to the side, and a multi-column applications view is
