We want to shield users from being overloaded by an overwhelming stream
of notification banners, either due to coming back from idle/lock or
because an application is misbehaving. Previously we replaced all queued
notifications with a summary notification in that case, but now that
notifications appear in the summary immediately, we can simply stop
adding them to the queue and rely on the date menu to convey that
information to the user.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The summary may contain notifications that have not been seen by the user
and won't be shown as banner. Currently this is only the case for resident
notifications that are emitted by the focused app, but it will become more
common as we will start limiting the number of queued notifications.
Indicate to the user that more notifications are available by displaying a
small dot in the top bar button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
Source::count-updated is emitted as notifications are added or removed,
which is correct for the primary notification count. However it is not
for the unseen count, which will also change when a notification is
acknowledged without being removed. At the moment this does not matter,
as the unseen count is only used on the screen shield and notifications
are never acknowledged while the screen is locked. However we will soon
use the unseen count in the normal session as well, so emit the signal
in this case too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The message tray is now empty and about to be removed, so an indication
at the bottom edge of the overview becomes an odd location to convey the
status of the summary. We will eventually display an indication in the
top bar that unseen messages are available, for now just remove the
existing indicator.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
Using a "There are too many notifications" notification is a bit odd,
and we will address the issue differently soon. So rather than update
the notification to do something else than opening the mostly empty and
useless tray when clicked, remove it altogether.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
No Source subclass used it to do anything special, and with sources
no longer having any UI representation on their own, doing anything
else isn't useful either, so just kill off that hook.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
It was a nice feature, but with sources no longer being represented in
the UI, there is no longer a way for users to make use of it. If we want
to bring the feature back in the future, it would probably make more
sense to implement via the chat source's policy anyway.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
Since the summary area was removed from the message tray, Source are not
longer represented in the UI, so right-click menus and summary icons are
no longer a thing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
The notification list in the calendar drop-down now functions as summary
area, so we can drop it from the message tray and remove a lot of complexity
from the state machine.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744850
There is not good reason why activating a GTK+ notification should
behave fundamentally different from fd.o notifications - we don't
raise the app because we expect it to perform an appropriate action,
but that does not include closing overview or calendar for us ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Just like we leave the overview when activating a notification,
the calendar popup should be closed - after all, the only case
where the calendar is open when a notification's default action
is activated is the user clicking an entry in the message list's
notification section.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Display notifications that have not been dismissed in the message
list - eventually this will replace the existing message tray summary.
Notification messages show icon, title and one line of the body and
can be clicked to activate the default action. However they cannot be
expanded, so other actions or the full body text are not accessible
in this mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Since notification support was added to the lock screen, notifications
are no longer necessarily represented by the actual notification actor
anymore. However when an existing notification is updated, external
representations currently become outdated.
Emit an appropriate signal which allows them to update.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
When we will start to show notifications in the date drop-down, we
will not use the actual notification actor, but construct our own UI
based on Calendar.Message. This is similar to what we already do in
the lock screen, except that in this case clicking the notification
should activate the default action.
So rename the existing _onClicked() method to activate() to make it
clear that such use is acceptable. While not strictly necessary, also
rename the corresponding signal to match.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
As the popup's height depends on its content, which itself varies
depending on the selected day, browsing the calendar can result
in distracting size changes. To avoid this, the design calls for
the height to be frozen to the previous one in that case.
As the popup will always open with the current day selected, we
don't have to be very sophisticated and can just lock the popup
to the height corresponding to that day.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
The message list is not only a replacement for the calendar events
list, it will also take over the notification summary from the
message tray. As we start drawing events from other sources than
calendars, hiding it based on whether or not any calendars have
been set up is no longer appropriate, so always include it in the
calendar drop-down now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Turn the existing EventsList into a MessageListSection and add the
message list to the calendar drop-down. The new events list only
displays events for the currently selected day, but in a more
structured and friendlier way than the old one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
The message list is a scrollable list that will hold sections of
different types of time-related messages like notifications,
calendar events or birthday reminders. When no section displays
any content for the selected date, a placeholder is shown instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
We will start using both URLHighlighter and the _fixMarkup() helper
method the same way it's used in MessageTray. Usually we should
make fixMarkup() public and call the existing methods, but we are
planning for them to go away soon, so just keep two copies until
the original one is removed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
We will soon replace regular menu items in the calendar drop-down
with more complex elements.
However there will still be items that should close the drop down
when activated - rather than making the menu available throughout
the hierarchy (and eventually from outside as well when we add the
notifications list), have a public method on a global object just
like the ubiquitous Main.overview.hide().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Menu items are on their way out of the calendar drop down, so let's
start with the easy one. This one is removed without replacement,
but then the Date & Time panel should be a one-time stop for most
users anyway, so not having a direct shortcut should not be much of
a problem. It is also the last remaining Settings item outside the
system menu ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
The new design has the events list on the left and the calendar on the
right, so swap them around and remove the vertical separator between
them in favor of some additional whitespace as in the mockups.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
This used to be the style-class for status icons (i.e. icon-only
top bar items). It got unused a while ago when the class used
by status icons stopped using it - except for the keyboard indicator,
which set the class manually to appear as status icon despite not
being a real icon.
Now that the button highlight is provided by the .panel-button class
on a parent, the obsolete class results in a double border on the
keyboard indicator when active - just drop it from there as well
to fix.
So we can style it differently than :hover.
We already have a active state for the menu items which includes
more than hover. For example, when the keyboard focus moves to a item
or we select programatically a item.
For this reason we need a style class named active for the meaning we
give to it in menu items, and a pseudo class active with the meaning
CSS has.

Don't assume struts are on the primary monitor while computing

This capability was only really useful for media players, and with
music notifications no longer being special, we can simplify a bit
by removing support for it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744815
Music is no longer a special type of notification according
to the design. If we want to resurrect the functionality, we
can reimplement it with a dedicated API like MPRIS rather
than piggy-bagging on the notification system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744815
According to the design, hotplug notifications should no longer offer
an eject action and use regular notification buttons (but using icon
and text), the default action when clicking the notification itself
is to launch the file browser.
Also as the corresponding resident notification is gone, it no
longer makes sense to make the notification transient.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744815
The new notification system will no longer give access to actions
from the notifications list, so a notification that is never
displayed as banner does not make sense here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744815
Tray icons make for a terrible UI on their own, but trying to
shoehorn them into the notification system has only made them
worse. At least for the time being this removal is temporary
and support for tray icons will be back, but no longer as part
of the notification system.

When opening a panel menu, we set it's max-height to the available

into account here.

Ouch, classy - we are telling translators to use a '24h' time
format for the '12h' time format string.
Luckily, only a handful of translations actually followed the
comment (de,hu,id,is,kk,nb,nl), and most of the corresponding
locales do not support 12-hour format anyway (only is_IS, at
least on Fedora).
We assume that applications that export a 'new-window' action can open
a new window, so we add an appropriate entry to the context menu.
However this duplicates functionality if the application already
exposes the action via the desktop file - don't add our own entry
in that case.

This DBus API is intended to be used by gnome-control-center's
displays panel to show monitor labels.
Each output (i.e. hardware monitor) identified by its
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig API ID has at most one label. On
mirrored setups, all the labels for outputs corresponding to the same
logical monitor (i.e. showing the same contents in the same mode) are
shown together.
At most, only one DBus client at a time is allowed to show labels.

The code described by the comment was moved away in commit eda27d51,

When using dynamic workspaces, a new workspace will be appended
when moving a window down to the last (empty) workspace. It makes
sense to extend the behavior in the opposite direction, and prepend
a new workspace when moving a window up from the first workspace.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665764
New workspaces are inserted by shifting all windows on workspaces
below the insertion position down. As a result, when the new
workspace is inserted before the active one, we end up with
the illusion of a workspace switch. Instead, activate the workspace
on which the windows from the active one ended up.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665764
We are not supposed to mess around with OR windows, so don't try

Input method preedit text needs to be disabled on password entries

IBus 1.5.7 provides the signal set-content-type so that panel UIs can
handle these special purpose input entries:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/6ca5ddb302c9
Unfortunately IBus versions older than 1.5.10 have a bug which causes
spurious set-content-type emissions when switching input focus that
temporarily lose purpose and hints defeating its intended semantics
and confusing users. We thus don't use it in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730628
We check for (metasNeeded.length == 0) at the beginning of the function,
which is only ever called when when a non-zero number of results is
received back from the provider. Effectively, this means that
(metas.length != metasNeeded.length) will also catch (metas.length == 0)
and print a nicer message to the log.
The updateSearch() function is called in SearchResults every time new
search hits are available from a search provider; SearchResults will
wait for updateSearch() to complete in a callaback, to update the
overall progress of the search operation.
updateSearch() will call _ensureResultActors(), which will in turn call
getResultMetas() on the search provider, which is an operation that can
fail arbitrarily or return inconsistent data, as it's entirely in the
hands of the search provider.
In case _ensureResultActors() returns a failure, updateSearch() is
currently failing to notify the passed-in callback, which might leave
SearchResults in an inconsistent state: make sure the asynchronous flow
always ends up with a notification to the updateSearch() callback.
So that we'll recreate it the next time we want to show it. Otherwise,
we'll try to call things on a half-destroyed ResizePopup and end up
causing errors instead of showing the user their resize popup.
This will allow g-s-d to handle actions differently based on the
current mode - namely, allow the power button when locked, but
make sure to never show any dialogs in that case.

When animating workspace switches, windows on the old and new workspaces
are temporarily reparented. If windows are restacked, those windows will
thus be ignored by mutter until meta_switch_workspace_completed() resyncs
the stacking at the end of the animation.
As a result, activating a window on another workspace that is not on top
of the stack is very noticeably a two-step operation of switching workspace
and raising the window. There is a technical reason for that order[0], but
we can avoid the visible disruption by manually syncing the stack during
the switch operation.

Just like keybindings and the message tray pointer barrier, gestures
don't always make sense - for instance, swiping up the screen shield

While the default Shell style is fairly decent with regard to
accessibility requirements, having the ability to tweak certain
aspects where the regular style works less well is still useful.

_hideDone checks _shown to determine if anything has shown the overview
while we hid it, and if so, shows the overview forward just in case.
In a local patch that called _hideDone immediately inside _hide for
testing, this broke. While we don't actually depend on this anywhere,
it doesn't hurt so that the next person to hack this up (perhaps me!)
doesn't get stuck debugging it for 20 minutes.
Since moving to a GFile based API in commit 642bf2b778,
setThemeStylesheet() no longer accepts %null to revert to
the default theme. We should have some way to revert to the
default and the least intrusive option is to return to the
old behavior, so do that.
Correctly computing the ISO week number is tricky and we already

Normally users switch xkb input sources and ibus input sources.

WorkspacesDisplay relies on being hidden to disable workspace switches
by scrolling or panning. Usually viewSelector will hide the previous

Fix this by calling hide() in addition to setting the opacity to 0 at

There is currently no simple way to inject into AppIcon's state change,
so an extension that wants to do this has to destroy/remove/update all
icons in the Shell (i.e. in the Dash, AllView, FrequentView) on enable()
and disable() after updating AppIcon.prototype._onStateChange, or the
extension must require a restart of the Shell.
To solve this issue, we rename _onStateChanged to _updateRunningStyle,
and connect the notify::state signal with an anonymous function that
calls _updateRunningStyle.
This extra function call should allow extensions to just extend the
updateRunningStyle function in the prototype.

In order to keep the alignment, ellipses are merely invisible (zero
opacity) when hidden.
The ellipses are styled using the events-day-time-ellipses class which,
by default, take the color of the event text.
When RTL is used, the box contents are adjusted accordingly (clutter
does that for us).

It is really annoying for the user to acknowledge multiple notifications
when they queue up. So, to prevent a notification flood that has to be
handled by the user one-by-one, a summarized-notification feature is
added which leaves a single summarized-notification for the user,
replacing multiple notifications if the number exceeds 1, which they may
or may not acknowledge. When this summarized-notification is acknowledged,
the message-tray is opened where they can view the notifications that were
summarized. This helps the user concentrate on his primary task
simultaneously informing them about the new notifications.

We commonly mark strftime format strings for translation to account
for date/time representations without an existing strftime shortcut
("Yesterday %H%p"). As those translations are looked up according to
the locale defined by LC_MESSAGES, while the conversion characters
themselves are resolved according to LC_TIME, the result can be
rather odd when mixing locales ("Den 27. January"). The correct
solution would be to install translations for format strings in
the LC_TIME catalogue and look them up with dcgettext(), but we
don't have the infrastructure to do that easily. Work around this
by adding a helper method that looks up a string in LC_MESSAGES
using the locale defined by LC_TIME and use that to translate
format strings, which has the same result.

that they support hints.
VPN plugins can request new secrets, for example if the previous
ones are incorrect (eg, user mis-typed the password) or some other
reason (next token code required to re-sync a hardware token).
The specific secret that the VPN wants, and a VPN-specific message,
are passed in hints from the plugin, to NetworkManager, to the
agent (GNOME Shell) and then to the auth dialog.

If we have a modal, the stage's input region doesn't really matter --
all events go to us anyway. To avoid doing extra work doing animations
when we have a modal, like menus, the overview, and the message tray,
just fizzle out all updates.
To make sure we catch updates, update the input region whenever we end a
modal.
