Settings no longer exposes a slider for the keyboard brightness,
leaving keyboard shortcuts as the only way of adjusting it.
This is good enough in most cases, because devices with keyboard
backlight usually include corresponding keys on their keyboard.
However for devices without those keys, it would be good for the
settings to be exposed somewhere again. Quick settings seems like
a more appropriate place than "proper" Settings, since it gives
quick access that doesn't require a major focus change.

`toLocaleFormat` is now `formatDateWithCFormatString` and formatTime and
formatTimeSpan are moved into dateUtils.
Instead of overriding system.clearDateCaches, add a helper in dateUtils.

We include a private hidden .desktop file for evolution's calendar
component, so that we can explicitly open that component when
evolution is configured as the default calendar application.
That's because the evolution developers didn't want to ship
additional .desktop files at the time, but they have since
then included a desktop action that can be used for the same
purpose.

Sandboxed apps that run without a window are detected by the new
background monitoring service, introduced by xdg-desktop-portal.
We have an opportunity to improve the predictability of the desktop
and ensure that application state in transparently reported to users
by showing these apps, and allowing them to closed.
Add a new background apps menu to the quick settings, that is always
added at the bottom of the popover, and has a slightly custom, flat
style applied to it.
Show background-running apps in this menu, and allow closing them
by first attempting to execute the 'quit' action through D-Bus, and
if that fails, sending SIGKILL to the process.

Menu toggles are currently regular toggles with an additional
arrow button. This allows for a simpler implementation, but
has downsides with regards to keyboard navigation and hover
feedback.
To make it more obvious that the two parts of the menu toggle
perform different actions, change the overall structure of the
toggle to *contain* a regular toggle and the menu button.
That way each element uses its own hover effect, and shows up
in the keynav focus chain.

GTK4 changed icon loading significantly, it is now closely tied
to snapshots and paintables. This makes a port highly unrealistic,
so to avoid staying stuck on GTK3 forever, copy the relevant code
into the tree.
The code is unmodified except for the include names and replacing
some stray tab indentation. It is still full of GTK internals, so
it will take a while before we can actually build it.

The aggregate menu with its submenus isn't well-suited for simple
on-off actions, so we didn't expose the global color-scheme support
that was introduced last cycle.
Quick settings on the other hand are a natural fit for actions like
this, so add a corresponding toggle.

These two are moving into gnome-shell to unify screenshot handling and
allow for same-frame capturing.
While we're at it, move the keybindings .xml file from g-c-c here
because it belongs to gnome-shell.

There is a big overlap between the app menu in the top bar and the
context menu of app icons. It makes sense to unify the two both
from a design- and from a code perspective, so split out the more
modern one into a separate module as basis for a shared class.

Add a "screenshot-taken" signal from the screenshot service's internal C
implementation, and use that to trigger the camera flash visual effect
and the click sound, allowing them to run in parallel with the PNG
compression instead of waiting until the file is complete to start.
This significantly improves perceived latency on high res setups such as
4K, 5K, or dual 4K screens.

When we allow users to choose between different templates, we should
provide some context for each template to facilitate that choice.
Add that metadata in the form of a .desktop file, which allows us to
specify name and description, and is well supported by our translation
infrastructure.

The Extensions app code is now independent enough from the rest of the code
base to move it to its own subprojects, like we did for the extensions-tool.
This allows for stand-alone builds of the app, which we are about to use
for distributing it as flatpak.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1133
As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.
With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.

The dialog that contains the extension's preference widget has become
fairly complex over time, mostly due to the error handling.
It therefore makes sense to move it to a template, just like we did
for the main application window and extension rows.

The gnome-extensions tool code is really independent from the rest of the
code base, and could be used either as part of the gnome-shell build or as
stand-alone project (for example for the extension-ci docker image).
We can actually support both cases by moving the code to a subproject.

Adds the UI part for the pointer accessibility features.
The various timeouts running are notified using a pie-timer showing
under the pointer.
For dwell-click type selection, we use a drop-down menu. Users can
use the dwell-click to select the next type of dwell click to be
emitted.

Show a dialog informing the user each time the keyboard accessibility
flags are changed by one of the clutter backends (either from toggle
keys or two-keys-off modifiers).

Every action has specific associated terms that
identify that action and show it in the search
results. Methods to match the actions as well
as getting properties of specific actions are
needed in order to provide a way of using the
actions.

When using the meson build system, gvc will be built as a subproject.
As meson restricts submodules to a subprojects/ directory in the
source tree root, move the submodule there.

This is an implementation of the pad OSD that's been previously
present in gnome-settings-daemon. Since things are moving closer
to the compositor, it makes sense to have this implemented as shell
UI.

intltool is unmaintained nowadays while upstream gettext gained
support for formats like GSettings schemas and .desktop files,
and offers a mechanism to teach it about other XML formats not
yet supported out of the box which we can use for the rest.
So there's nothing stopping us, just make the switch ...

We lost media controls outside of notification banners when
implementing the new notification designs. Reimplement this
functionality as a dedicated "Media" section in the message
list based on MPRIS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756491
Currently both the base classes for messages/sections and the message
list itself that instantiates the available sections are located in
the same module. As a result, it isn't possible to define sections
in a different module without introducing circular dependencies. The
Calendar module is already unwieldily large, so split it up a bit to
avoid it growing even bigger in the future.

While legacy status icons are notoriously bad with regard to
