Until now LookingGlass could only be closed using the Escape
key when the Evaluator class was active, as the relevant code
was associated to the text input field; this moves it into a
global event handler instead which works everywhere in LG.
We need to set the positions after the animation ends (and
fadeIn starts), not before when allocation is changed.
As the window may still be in motion when the overlay is
repositioned, it is safer to pass the calculated values
as parameters.

Consumer documentation will live at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions
In terms of implementation; basically we load extensions from the well-known
directories. Add a GConf key to disable extensions by uuid. There is a new
option --create-extension for the gnome-shell script which takes a bit of
interactive input, sets up some sample files, and launches gedit.
No extensions UI in this patch; that will come later.

The high level goal is to separate the concern of searching for
things with display of those things; for example in newer mockups,
applications are displayed exactly the same as they look in the
AppWell.
Another goal was optimizing for speed; for example,
application search was pushed mostly down into C, and we avoid
lowercasing and normalizing every item over and over.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603523
The distinction between the inactive and running was silly; just
have one class which can handle both running states. However for
a future search patch, we do want a separation between an icon which
just has icon + name + glow, and a well icon which does the menu
integration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603523
We has poor performance if we try to allocate hundreds of actors;
a bit more ideally, we'd keep pulling as much as we can, but really
no one should have more than 50 in the list as is now except on
unreasonably large screen sizes.
In the future we should change this to be pull-on-demand thing
in a chunked fashion.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603522
Rather of calling .exists() synchronously for all documents, use
ShellDocSystem's async API to only stat docs we're showing.
Use the doc opening functionality in ShellDocSystem.
Also, more intelligently do redisplay(); don't recreate actors
for recent docs if we already have one for that URI. We may
need more intelligent caching here; if e.g. just the associated
application changes, we should probably reread the info.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603522
Previously we had various things watching for notify::mapped so
we could be more lazy about updating non-visible actors, but it
was fairly ad-hoc.
The deferred work system unifies these callbacks, and also adds
a timeout so that we don't delay changes arbitrarily; this way we
avoid a storm of work if you stay out of the overview for a while,
then go in.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603522
The altTab.js and app well code weren't sharing really

It's nicer to have ShellDrawingArea as a St widget so it can

We had previously been leaving the scaled workspace at a non-integral
position which didn't look obviously ugly, but now that we're
constraining the popup pane to the workspace size, we really need
to ensure that we're using integral positions here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601854
We need to check if the display actor is an instance of Shell.OverflowList
or St.BoxLayout to use the appropriate function for getting its child
with a given index.
Rather than the popup panes taking up the whole non-panel height,
constrain them to the height of the workspaces, which is also the
"dash content area".

It's very convenient to drill down through object properties and
be able to see exactly which portion of the screen those actors
correspond to, without trying to guess with the inspector tool.
Commit 94bd6f1718 introduced a trick
where we only do the heavy lifting for "redisplay" when we're mapped.
However, the search system wants to get the count of matched items,
and control the visibility of the display based on that. This introduces
a circularity; avoid it by forcing the search to do a redisplay.
In the future we should avoid this by separating out the "get matched
things for search" from "display list of things".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600890
Places is one of the dash sections and it should be included in search results.
Factor out the code for getting and updating the information about places from
Places to PlacesManager.
Introduce PlaceInfo class that contains information about the place and can be
used by classes that display it in different ways. Rename classes so that their
names are consistent with corresponding classes in appDisplay.js and
docDisplay.js
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599125
This make it is easier for the user to figure out on which workspace the
windows are. For instance, terminals related to various activities and put on
different workspaces were previously displayed as an uniform list, with no
visible distinction between the ones from the current workspace and the others.
Now they are physically separated by a thin gray line.
This is also consistent with the way applications are displayed in the
AppSwitcher.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597944
If we're not mapped, only queue up a redisplay. This avoids
e.g. changes in recent documents such as saving a file in GEdit
causing a lot of blocking I/O in the shell (we need to make
recent loading async as well).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599560
First, fix a problem where though we intended to request a minimum
height of 0 for the docs content, we were actually requesting
spacing for all items.
On low resolution screens, we were still attempting to allocate
an item even when we were given 0 height.

For the purposes of determining which application is focused, don't
skip "uninteresting" windows. The old get_focused_window code
was used for usage tracking, but here we want reliable application
association.
Also convert a .text= to .set_text that was missed with the last
patch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599206
The two parts were mapping windows to applications, and
recording application usage statistics. The latter part
(now called ShellAppUsage) is much more naturally built on top of
the former (now called ShellWindowTracker).
ShellWindowTracker retains the startup-notification handling.
ShellWindowTracker also gains a focus-app property, which is
what most things in the shell UI are interested in (instead of
window focus).
ShellAppSystem moves to exporting ShellApp from more of its
public API, rather than ShellAppInfo. ShellAppSystem also
ensures that ShellApp instances are unique by holding
a hash on the ids.
ShellApp's private API is split off into a shell-app-private.h,
so shell-app.h can be included in shell-app-system.h.
Favorites handling is removed from ShellAppSystem, now inside
appFavorites.js.
Port all of the JavaScript for these changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598646
Previously, we had ShellAppInfo, which contains fundamental
information about an application, and methods on ShellAppMonitor
to retrieve "live" information like the window list.
AppIcon ended up being used as the "App" class which was painful
for various reasons; among them that we need to handle window
list changes, and some consumers weren't ready for that.
Clean things up a bit by introducing a new ShellApp class in C,
which currently wraps a ShellAppInfo.
AppIcon then is more like the display actor for a ShellApp. Notably,
the ".windows" property moves out of it. The altTab code which
won't handle dynamic changes instead is changed to maintain a
cached version.
ShellAppMonitor gains some more methods related to ShellApp now.
In the future, we might consider changing ShellApp to be a GInterface,
which could be implemented by ShellDesktopFileApp, ShellWindowApp.
Then we could axe ShellAppInfo from the "public" API and it would
return to being an internal loss mitigation layer for GMenu.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598227
If we had a pending search processing, finish it when the user
activates the entry.
This is a small conceptual change; the large diff is simply
moving the search implementation (unedited otherwise) from
an anonymous inline to a named function so it can be called
sanely in _activate.

POTFILES.in was missing some files.
"Activities" is not easily translatable into some languages, e.g. Russian,
so suggest using the word for "Overview" instead.
The down arrow is shown when an application with more than one
window is selected, but the window list is not always displayed.
This patch fixes the fact that the arrow was not hidden when one

When we get a ClutterModifierType from Clutter, it might contain

Being able to display all applications in a category based on the search
string with a category name is generaly useful.
Prepare all the applications that match a search term based on their
category name up-front.
Remove unused this._appCategories and a call to non-existing

gdk_display_get_pointer() sometimes returns values for the mask that
aren't part of the GdkModifierType enumeration, which gjs doesn't like
(bug 597292). Work around that by adding a C wrapper that strips out
the extra flags.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597559
Before we were badly leaking AppIcons by not disconnecting from the
window signal handlers when our actor got destroyed. This caused
us to repeatedly re-sort the windows for each AppIcon that
had ever been displayed with obvious bad consequences.
Besides simply chaining the signals to the lifetime of the AppIcon
actor, we also only do the sorting if we're mapped. This decreases
the amount of work to do in the not-mapped case.

For some unknown reason we were connecting to app-added and
app-removed on ShellAppMonitor in the AppDisplay class, which
never made any use of the data. Simply don't connect to those
signals for now. In the future we should have AppDisplay
be using the AppIcon class which will more correctly handle
dynamic changes.

actually mapped.

This slightly changes the behaviour of the alt+tab window, this way:
when using alt-tab on a workspace that contains two or more windows from
the same window, the application selected when hitting alt+tab is the
currently selected application, but the highlighted window is the next
one.
Intended goal is to make it easier to cycle around windows of the same
application while not having to cycle through all the applications first.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590563
By sorting the windows in the current workspace first, we ensure that
when using alt+tab to switch windows, we will pick a window on the
active workspace as the default focused window for the application if
the application has at least one window on the current workspace (that
is, if it is on the left of the app switcher separator).
This makes the behaviour of alt+tab more predictable for the user, as
an user will expect alt+tab to switch to the window he/she can see right
now rather than the one on the workspace he just left (presumably to do
something else on the workspace he's currently on).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590563

We shouldn't show all sections each time the search is updated because that
breaks viewing search results for a single section and flickers headers for
sections with no results.
Fix displaying documents in the document browse and refreshing the selection
when the results have changed.
Make sure we are passing the appropriate flag to _redisplay() in GenericDisplay.
Make sure we set this._appsStale to true if there was a change in the
applications set.
Don't call _refreshCache() from the AppDisplay constructor.
Don't short-circuit the call to _refreshCache() from _redisplay() on initial load.
Rename _redisplayFull() to recreateDisplayItems() and remove adding an
actor to the actual result list in _addDisplayItem() because we redo adding the
actors to the list in _redisplayReordering() anyway to ensure that we add
them in the right order.
Based on a patch from Colin Walters.
Following the idea expressed in bug 590563 by mccann ("Minimized or
hidden applications should appear at the end of the list"), we should
also put applications that have no visible window in the active
workspace at the end of the alt-tab window list, after apps which have
minimized windows in the active workspace.
Miscellaneous fixes from review:
- Distribute calendar.js and the interactive test
- Make the pointless protection against leap seconds actually work
by starting in the middle of the day so that forward/back always
move a day.
- Use a variable instead of an inline '8' to know where to start
when removing old day actors.
- Remove a stray comment from the test

Make the calendar reactive and handle scroll events to change the month.
(GtkCalendar and hence the old gnome-panel calendar supported this and
it is apparently a handy way to flip through months.)

Previously, we initialized actor stacking order from the return
value of global.get_windows() once, which is defined to be in
stack order. However it was not updated later. Furthermore,
the way stackAbove was called from onAnimationComplete in
WindowClone was highly dubious, since there are lots of animations
which apply to the clones, and we want the stacking to be right
all of the time, not when some animation completes.
Fix this by connecting to 'restacked' on the screen and syncing
the clones.
I also snuck in another bugfix here; we weren't disconnecting
from the 'showing' signal handler, which had various bad
consequences.

ShellTheme replaces both StStyle and ccss_stylesheet_t.
The interface StStylable is replaced by usage of ShellThemeNode.
A concrete node class allows some significant optimizations of property
inheritance that would have been much more difficult to achieve with
the highly abstract pair of StStylable and ccss_node_t.
Some operations that were previously on StStylable (like the
::style-changed signal) are directly on NtkWidget.
Custom properties are no longer registered as param-specs; instead you
call directly into shell theme node to look up a length or color:
shell_theme_node_get_length (theme_node, "border-spacing", FALSE, &spacing);
The dependency on libccss is dropped, while preserving all existing
functionality and adding proper parsing and inheritance of font properties
and proper inheritance for the 'color' property.
Some more javascript tests for CSS functionality are added; workarounds for
a CSS bug where *.some-class was needed instead of .some-class are removed.

Setting options for children added to StBoxLayout is not convenient
since we are missing the varargs methods of clutter_container.

child_set() - set properties of a child
add() - add a child and set properties (this is different from
clutter_container_add()! I think the deviation is
with avoiding the awkward name add_with_properties()
which is what might be expected. ClutterContainer
currently doesn't have a method like this at all.)
The code is written to allow patching into multiple ClutterContainer

The run dialog uses the "development_tools" gconf key to determine
whether funcions like "lg" or "restart" should be enabled, but it
failed to notice it on the run when said key changed. This commit
fixes this.
There are now 3 code paths in decreasing speed:
First, optimize subsearching more by just hiding the actors
that didn't match, since we know the ordering has to be right.
For initiating a search (or backspacing an existing one), again
instead of destroying and recreating actors, just temporarily
remove them and re-add them in the desired order.
Finally for when data has changed, use the old code path of
destroying all actors. (This itself could obviously be optimized
if we had a way to know that just one application changed, but
at the moment we don't).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596119
We queue a 150ms timeout when the user starts typing to avoid searching
for the first keystroke. However, this caused us to change to the search

Instead, just hide the results sections until we've actually performed
the current search once.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596119
This is probably not the biggest optimization that needs to be
made at least for application searching, but we can optimize the
case where we're going from a search of "fi" to "fire" by just
re-searching the list of things we already had that matched "fi"
instead of looping over everything.

Rather than having the mapping from window into "slots" (or
possible positions in the workspaces) be dependent on stacking
order, compute the minimum-motion which is a vector from one
top left corner to another. This order won't change as long
as the window set and their positions stay fixed.
There are two minimum motion algorithims; one simply computes
all possible placements by permuting the window list, up to
a current maximum of 5 windows. Past that (which also happens
to be the number where we switch to a grid), we use a "greedy"
algorithm which for each slot, finds the window with least motion
for that slot.
To break any ties, we use an internal integer in MetaWindow which
enumerates the order in which windows were created.

just want to ensure that we're in a modal state; they don't actually need to
fail if we already are.
These functions also now take the Clutter keyboard focus, while recording
the previous focus.

When we had a filtered set of windows, and want to exit the overview
into a particular window, what we do is re-show all the old windows
first, but don't reset the scaling on them. This will involve
some overlapping, but that's not a big deal because we'll immediately
get overlap anyways in the normal case zooming the windows back.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594699
When the user click+hold+release over the icon, the effect we want
is for the menu to stick around.
Also, allow the user to mouse over the actual windows and select
them directly. If the user mouses over a window, reflect that in
the menu.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594699
Callers will generally expect _popup and _popdown to be a no-op if
the menu is already in that state; make it so.
Also change the 'popdown' signal to be 'cancelled'; this is
clearer and allows us to avoid having activate also call popdown.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594699
There are ton of different kinds of mouse even handlers in the overview;
WindowClone has several mouse-enter/leave handlers, we still have a variety
of classes not ported to ButtonBox and so incorrectly handling double-click,
etc.
Since we at present don't have anything in the overview area for which
it makes sense to interact with during the animation, create a transparent
event-eating box which we raise to the top during the animation.

This makes the search results display more streamlined.
Make sure that we move the selection to a different section if we are going
from displaying a single section to displaying all and the section that
used to be displayed alone doesn't have any results.
When the user click+hold+release over the icon, the effect we want
is for the menu to stick around.
Also, allow the user to mouse over the actual windows and select
them directly. If the user mouses over a window, reflect that in

We will be adding more search results sections, so we should store the intended
order of the search results sections and their properties in an array of data
structures.
This information allows us to have generic code for creating the search results
sections, moving the selection between them and transitioning between showing
all sections and a single section.
Rather than starting lightboxing only when the mouse enters the
menu, start it when an application filter is set.
Also delete a stale function in WindowClone from previous work.

When we have multiple windows for an application, implement the following
behavior:
* On click + immediate release, go to the most recently used
* On click, hold for 0.6s, pop up a menu with windows, filtering
the window list to just those windows.
Mouse over on the window list highlights the moused-over window.
Implement this by splitting well item into InactiveWellItem
and RunningWellItem, sharing a base class BaseWellItem.
Checking if an item is under the pointer by calling stage.get_actor_at_pos()
synchronously will trigger a too-early allocation of the stage. Use an idle
at Meta.PRIORITY_BEFORE_REDRAW. (Before 553503d it was using a 5 msec timeout,
553503d made it synchronous.)

For some use cases we have other behavior on mouse press and want
to manually control when a drag starts. Split out the drag initiation
code into startDrag.
There is no need to show two headers when we are only displaying a single
section of search results, so we merge the section header with the main
header in that case.
Show a back button on the left of the main header to get back to the results
for all sections.
Remove this._showTooltip flag from SearchSectionHeader because we no longer
show this type of header when we want to suppress the tooltip.
Add this._appSearchResultsOnlyShown and this._docSearchResultsOnlyShown
flags to track when a single section is shown more cleanly.
We no longer need the timeout for checking if an item is drawn under
the pointer because we display search results in the main pane and there is
no lowering/raising of other overview actors going on as the results are
being displayed.
Select an item by default when the search results are displayed.
Enable moving from one section of search results to another with key navigation.
Reset the selection when the search is updated or a new page is displayed
or the transition between viewing multiple sections and viewing just one is made.
The windows we considered for both the app monitor and the overview
workspaces were the same, but the code was duplicated once in C, once
in Javascript.
Make Button class purely about adding visuals, and use ShellButtonBox
for behavior. API equivalences:
shell.button => shell.actor [for consistency]
staysPressed parameter to constructor => replaced by manually setting
the 'active' property of button.actor as appropriate
pressIn/release => button.actor.active = true/false
enter-event/leave-event signals => button.actor notify::hover
Along the way, this fixes a bug with the user status menu where it was
not getting set to active because the button was getting a leave
(triggered by the menu popping up and grabbing the pointer) before for
button release, which disabled the staysPressed behavior.

Use bigger font and brighter color for the search results section headers.
Add more padding.
Display "(see all)" tooltip in the section headers on mouse-over.
(Still TODO: supressing that tooltip when all results are already being shown.)
All our font sizes were in px, other than the size for the text in
the search entry. Switch that from 12 to 16px (which is the same size
at the standard 96dpi), it doesn't become out of scale if the DPI
is different. (Using fixed px sizes isn't probably what we want to
do in the long term; moving to style sheets will be a good place to
fix that. But better to be consistent.)

When we are modal, examine keypresses and look for:

For Firefox/OpenOffice, right now we have a workaround in the
code where we look at their "title" property. However, we
weren't monitoring that property for changes, and I'm fairly
certain Firefox at least was mapping a window and then very
quickly changing its title after. So we need to handle
dynamic changes.
Split out the wm_class mapping from the title hack. It was
messy and weird to have the two mixed because they're not
at all related, and we're not trying to handle WM_CLASS changes
right now.
Explicitly connect to notify::title in the case where we had
a title fallback. When a title changes, just treat it as
an add+remove.
In the Application Menu area in the panel, hook up to app-added
and app-removed so we get notification of the active app changing.
Display only first page of search results by default for each section and
allow clicking on the section header to view all the results for a given
section. This design will allow us to easily move from paging to scrolling
without having to stack multiple scrollbars in a single pane.
Display a total results count next to the section name. This serves as an
indicator that there are more results. The section header pre-lights to
indicate that it can be clicked on.
Make sure we go back to the first page of results when we exit a single
section mode. Make sure we re-instate all result sections if the search
mode is left.
Close the only section search mode on Esc, and only close the search
when Esc is hit again.
We now have functionality in Mutter to grab the keyboard on behalf
of a plugin. This avoids interactions with the key handling code
in Mutter that could leave the user with an inconsistent state
and no way to get out of it.
src/shell-global.[ch]: Change shell_global_grab_keyboard() and
shell_global_grab_keyboard() to shell_global_begin_modal()
shell_global_end_modal() and call mutter_plugin_begin_modal()
mutter_plugin_end_modal() rather than directly grabbing the
keyboard.
main.js: Call global.begin_modal/end_modal from Main.startModal()
and Main.endModal()
altTab.js; Remove call to Main.startModal() - we're letting Mutter
handle modality for Alt-Tab.
main.js lookingGlass.js overview.js runDialog.js: Rename
Main.startModal() to Main.beginModal() for consistency with
naming in mutter and ShellGlobal.

Display search results in the dash instead of showing them in a separate pane.
We get dynamic allocation for the section height based on the number of
results, but a lot of the problems with the previous search results display,
such as displaying empty sections and paging overflow are still present.
Also, we don't yet close the browse pane for applications or documents when
we display the search results and only replace it if we are showing the
details pane, so all that looks weird. We'll need to work out the interaction
for these cases.
This fixes a bug where we were already using this._hotCorner
in _onHotCornerEnvironsLeft() and were incorrectly setting
this._hotCornerEntered to false when the hot corner was
re-entered from the environs.
Rather than just launching if we weren't already running, always
relaunch, which happens to make Firefox, etc. work. See
the comment in the commit for more explanation.
Add drag and drop. We need to be able to recreate the icon texture,
so instead of passing it directly into PlaceDisplay, pass
a factory function which knows how to create a new texture.
The design has smaller icons in two columns. Add a new
custom display to docDisplay for it.
Clean up some of the texture cache handling for recent URIs so
it's not size-dependent, since the dash size is now different
from the default GenericDisplay size.
We had multiple copies of the code to position a drag actor given a particular
source. Instead, just put it inside dnd.js.
Second, rather than test for GenericDisplay/WellDisplayItem etc.,
in various places, add a new method on each source "shellWorkspaceLaunch"
which both marks the item as being droppable on a workspace, and is
called by the workspaces code to launch the item.
Use MetaGroup for a window when looking up applications. If
we know the application for a TYPE_NORMAL window in the group,
use that.
However, we aren't always going to know the application for a window. In
that case, create a fake one.
ShellAppInfo has a "transient" flag so we know not to write these
fake apps to the usage file.
Clean up the idle focus handler to better handle the case where
no window is focused, and where we don't want to track the
particular window.
Update track_window to create the fake window.
When a window goes away, we want to delete the usage.
Rewrite shell_app_monitor_get_running_apps to be based
on the window_to_app hash, because that's what has the pointer
to ShellAppInfo*. Before we were looking up all ids through
ShellAppSystem, but that shouldn't be holding a ref to transients.
Change the well display icon to be centered, since our icons for
window apps aren't 48 pixels.
Using a larger area around the hot corner to decide if the user has left the
hot corner prevents triggering the hot corner multiple times due to an
accidental jitter.
We need to use the -lib variant which in turn uses the
GETTEXT_PACKAGE define, because the default translation
domain is actually mutter, not gnome-shell.
We don't have a lot of strings, and what ones we do have we've
been avoiding duplication. This patch adds calls to _() i.e. gettext
for those strings we do have.
The maximize effect looked really ugly. In the absence of any cooler
effects, none at all is better than what we have. Current compiz
doesn't have one either.
Note that in the future when we merge the frame into the panel
in the maximize case, we may want an effect for that.
Instead of counting on the implicit sizing of ClutterGroup, which isn't
going to work well because of current limitations of ClutterClone, set
the size of workspace explicitly based on the screen size.
This should fix various problems with drag-and-drop being unreliable;
if a workspace was sized to big it could overlap other workspaces or
elements of the overview.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591643
There was some weirdness relating to when the search pane is shown
in a timeout, and how that relates to setSearch. Instead of doing
this in the timeout, just call setSearch() in the timeout. The
pane hide/show state is directly controlled from the handler.
Currently ShellAppMonitor relies on all the .desktop files being
loaded. We should initialize it very early to ensure that anything
that uses it has up-to-date information right away.
Remove the last use of passing width into Dash by having the
Pane with the previews scaling dynamically and relying on
Clutter scaling.
If we only have one workspace, don't display a selection frame
for it.
Rework Dash into a searchArea and sectionArea, which get
explicitly sized by overlay.js. We use the workspaces size
to choose the size of those dash areas.
Switch dash colors/boxes etc. to ones from shell-black02.
Add a gradient to the panel.
Add a magnifier.svg for use in search.
minWidth and minHeight arguments of the Button class were not used.
Panel buttons need their height to be explicitly specified as
PANEL_HEIGHT to take up full panel height. This fixes the problem with the
user not being able to click at the very top edge of the panel to activate
the button.
This is a start at the "Active Appliction Item" component of the
shell design. Currently we just show the currently focused
application. When launching a new application, we show that as well.
The implementation here is not complete; basically when launching
we de-focus the active one, and the application well shows the
most recent startup sequence.
This kind of fails in the case of multiple sequences, and we
also don't correctly de-focus the current window in other
launch paths.
There was lots of fixed positioning in the Panel; now it is completely
dynamic, and width/height is driven from main.js. We still have a
global constant Panel.PANEL_HEIGHT, but this is a big step towards
eliminating it.
Also, this avoids overdraw in the "way too many tray icons" case. The
clock will shift left.
Replace 'overlay' with the more descriptive name 'overview'
where the Activities Overview is meant. Call it Overview
(capitalized) in code comments.
The overlay-group and overlay-key provided by Mutter are not
affected, since they may be used for other components than
the Activities Overview.
Instead of only transforming the active workspace, create a
zooming effect when showing or hiding the overlay. This makes
the transitions simpler: the workspaces are now fixed to the
overlay actor group and will not slide over the Dash.
overlay.js: Add zoom animations, fade in/out Dash during those,
remove obsolete Dash clipping and stacking logic, add public
get[Scale|Position]() and getZoomedIn[Scale|Position]()
functions.
workspaces.js: Remove zoom animations, add fade animations for
the remove button, add helper functions for the overlay
zooming, keep the movement of windows linear to that of
their workspaces, remove the updatePosition() and
updateInOverlay() functions and fullSize variables that
were left from the old overlay design.
The "expanded background" that is behind the workspaces etc. in the overview
should be removed. It isn't in the designs, it is distracting, and it breaks
the overview metaphor.
At least temporarily, just make the background of the overview black.
Change the pane popup to black as well, but keep a blue border so that
it is visually distinguished from the background.
Based on a patch by Colin Walters, with fixes from Marina Zhurakhinskaya.
It's both intuitive to go to the corner of the screen
and click the activities button at the same time.
Both actions bring up the overlay, but combined
they cancel each other out. This commit makes
clicking the hot corner not cancel the act of
going to the hot corner.
Based on a patch from Ray Strode.
The scale of windows within a workspace is determined by the
scale of the workspace since we never scale a window bigger
than the original size of the window. So when we rescale
workspaces we have to rerun Workspace.positionWindows().
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591124
The onComplete when positioning windows may come before the
final stage of the workspace positioning animation. So we can't
use actor.get_transformed_position() to figure out where to put
the icons. Compute the final position manually ourselves instead.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591123
Both the position and size of the frame actor depend on the scale
of the workspace, so update them both when the scale changes.
On the other hand, the the frame actor doesn't need to be
repositioned when the workspace moves (since it is relative to the
workspace). We do base the frame position of the desktop actor, but
that will presumably stay fixed (at 0,0) in most all cases.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591122
When Workspace._positionWindows is called, the clone might nto
yet have its final size (because of the clone is is a clone of
the window texture and the window texture isn't updated until
right before painting.) So get the size from the MetaWindow
instead ... the MetaWindow size is determined synchronously when
the window is managed.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590741
Take everything in the ~/.gtk-bookmark lines after the URI
as label, not only the first word. (eg. if there's a line like
"file:///home/rainct/Ubuntu%20One Ubuntu One", now "Ubuntu One"
is taken as the label, instead of only "Ubuntu").
Pass the error variable to g_key_file_load_from_data_dirs in
Shell.AppSystem.get_default().load_from_desktop_file again, and
use a try/catch in places.js.
- Avoid error '"iconname" may be used uninitialized in this function'
by initializing said variable to NULL.
- Define shell_util_get_file_description as static (like the other
similar functions) to avoid another compiler error.
- Don't save errors from g_key_file_load_from_data_dirs into the
variable "error" (ie. pass NULL to it instead). Without this,
gnome-shell crashes if the key file can't be found (with message
"Error invoking Shell.load_from_desktop_file: Valid key file could
not be found in search dirs").
- Check the result of the load_from_desktop_file() call in places.js,
as it may be null.
Previously, ShellAppSystem only loaded (and cached) the set of
.desktop files from applications.menu and settings.menu, using
the gnome-menus library. The ShellAppInfo structure was
a "hidden typedef" for GMenuTreeEntry.
But we need to support loading an arbitrary .desktop file. Thus,
refactor the ShellAppInfo into a real struct, with a refcount,
and allow it to point to either a GMenuTreeEntry or a GKeyFile.
Also, in the case where we fail to lookup an icon for an
application, ensure we return a 0 opacity texture.
When WellGrid had no child it was doing a division by zero,
which screwed up the calculation for the height request and
having it ask for a negative number. This commit fixes this
by always requesting 0 in this case.
I've done some little modifications to the window positioning code
used in the overlay so that it considers the height of the windows
and they don't overlap or get out of the workspace.
I've also raised the hard-coded scales a bit to have the windows as
big as possible without overlapping (this could use some testing on
a non-widescreen monitor).
Use ShellGenericContainer to implement a fully dynamic layout
for the application well. It's still fixed to 4 columns by default,
but no longer requires a fixed width to be passed in on start.
With another chunk of work, it could likely try to adjust to
the case where we can only fit fewer than 4 items in the well.
Remove the border highlighting on mouseover, since that caused
reallocations, and the grid layout isn't trivial.
Delete the unused shell_global_get_word_with function.
The variables this._yOffset and this._xOffset are included in the
drop coordinates, but as far as I can tell never defined. Looking
back on the commit that introduced this code, they weren't removed
from anywhere else either.
The drop coordinates seem correct without them, so just delete them.
Use the 1x1 actor in the top left corner of the screen to enter and leave
the overview mode by just moving the mouse over to it.
No delay is used for triggering the hot corner because a delay significant
enough to allow moving away the mouse to avoid triggering it ruins the desired
flow when triggering the hot corner is actually intended.
The hot corner is not enabled in the full screen mode because the application
or the virtual system might have a hot corner of its own in that place.
It's easier to explicitly call Main.overlay.hide() instead
of chaining activation signals, this got lost in a mix between
the big dash rewrite and ongoing changes to the Application well.
To better distinguish between vast fields of white of which many
windows are composed, add the application icon to the bottom
right of the window.
We fade them in to avoid an abrupt feel. The icons are in the
workspaces group, not individual workspace groups to avoid
having to adjust them when we scale the workspaces.
Replace Workspace._lookupIndexAndClone with Workspace.lookupIndex,
and make the caller go from index to clone, or clone and index.
Emit the signal at the correct time to take action
on snapback (i.e. after the end of the snapback animation).
Add a boolean to the drag-end signal saying whether it was accepted,
which ensures consumers know whether the drag was successful.
Tweak arrangements with 2,3,4,5 windows in a desktop so:
- Windows are a bit bigger
- All windows for 5 windows are equally sized instead of making
the windows in the bottom row larger
This does cause some more problems with tall windows overlapping
or running off the edge of the workspace, but it's an overall
small improvement to the behavior.
Move the GStreamer initialization from the Javascript code into
shell_recorder_init(). This avoids a dependency on the GStreamer
introspection information and will make it easier to drop the
gir-repository module dependency.
Said function in genericDisplay.js was returning the index of the
actor based upon its position in the entire list, while everywhere
else indexes relative to the currently displayed page were used.
This made actions in the details pane break (bug #590949), so I
replace it with a new function in shell-overflow-list.c,
shell_overflow_list_get_actor_index, which is page based.
This patch is a near-total rewrite of the Dash. First, the dash
code moves into a separate file, dash.js.
Inside dash.js, the components are more broken up into separate
classes; in particular there's now a Pane class and a MoreLink
class. Instead of each section of the dash, when activated,
attempting to close all N-1 other sections, instead there
is the concept of a single "active pane", and when e.g. activating
the More link for documents, if we know there's an active pane
which happens to be the apps, close it.
Many redundant containers were removed from the dash, and all
manual width, height and x/y offsets are entirely gone. We move
the visual apperance closer to the design by using the view-more.svg,
etc.
To complete the removal of height/width calculations from the dash,
we also had to do the same for GenericDisplay. Also clean up
the positioning inside overlay.js so calculation of children's
positioning is inside a single function that flows from screen.width
and screen.height, so in the future we can stop passing the width
into the Dash constructor and call this once and work on screen
resizing.
The previous application monitoring code was originally designed
to be based on WM_CLASS, which was then resolved on a server.
We have that resolution code locally now, so instead
of saving WM_CLASS data, save application IDs.
Also, inside the WM we have a much better
infrastructure for tracking windows. In particular, rather
than polling, we can just watch for focus notification on
the display, and window add/remove.
Instead of polling XScreensaver, use DBus to watch org.gnome.Session
which already has an idle time watch.
Now there is no polling at all inside the monitor.
Add a Notebook class which we then use to pack in separate Hierarchy
and Properties tabs.
Split out the inspector into its own class to avoid bloat in the
main class.
5 seconds is should help ensure we lose work less often on
Alt-f2 restart.
Avoid saving empty lines to history, and filter them out if
we find them.
Minor fixes for the still-not-enabled inspector.
This patch attempts to adjust if we have many tray icons; currently
the simple algorithm is to drop down to a spacing of 8 if we have
more than 6. In the future we should fix the panel layout so that
the clock moves to the side.
Add a dropdown pane triggered by Alt-F2, "lg" which supports interactive
JavaScript evaluation, saving/restoring a history file, as well as
an inspector element to pick by using the mouse.
Using an internal boolean rather than the visibility property seems
more reliable to me. Add a list of internal functions rather than
an if/else chain, so for example an extension could hook something on.
Delete the javascript evaluator in favor of the upcoming lookingGlass.js.
We had duplicate code in appDisplay and workspaces for handling activating
a window; unify that inside workspaces, add an API to Main.overlay to
access it from both contexts.
Also, explicitly raise the clone we're activating to the top
before starting the animation to leave the overlay.
Two calls to _repositionDetails() were done too early,
before the visibility of the results pane had changed,
so they had no effect. Thus when a search was done while
a details pane was active, the pane with the results was
hidden by the details pane.
In addition to fixing this, move the two remaining calls to
the line after changing the results pane's visibility
to make it clearer why the calls are there.
Don't use a clone of an actor that's not part of the scene graph for the
item previews. This patch fixes previews in the details pane for documents
for which we don't have full previews and for applications.
Use create_icon_texture() from AppInfo instead of looking up the file
for gicon when creating an application icon for the details pane.
Now clicking on the information icon of the same item a second
time will hide the details pane. Clicking it another time will
show it again, etc.
This is achieved by adding a 'toggle-details' signal which
switches the visibility of the details pane.
Other than the necessary changes, function _selectIndex (in
genericDisplay.js) has been restructured a bit to avoid
duplicating checks.
The experiment with avoiding ellipsization was a definite failure;
several translations have very long names, and we'd end up
with a single column.
Also fix extra padding; we only want some space at the top, not
left/right.
Rename DocsWidget to RecentDocsWidget (as widgets for most used docs,
docs related to the currently open documents, etc. may be added in the
future), and change the title so that it doesn't abbreviate 'Docs' (for
consistency with the overlay).
Corresponding with the design, if an application is in a running
state (has > 0 windows open), draw a glow behind the name.
To make the display look a bit nicer, set the width of each item
to be equal to the longest word among all the items.
Make dash background darker so that the blue color used for indicating
running apps can be visible. Use the dark blue (almost black) color from
Jeremy's mockup.
Make the dash height be the full screen height minus the height of the panel.
Don't use padding on top or on the bottom.
Remove the border from the main dash, but leave it for the results and details
panes. Make the border slightly transparent.
Make sure the details pane is correctly positioned by not applying the
additional padding when determining its x position.
Timeout callback function should not be rescheduled again with the same timeout
because we compute a new timeout and schedule it again instead. So the callback
function needs to return false to not be scheduled again by default.
Make sure that we calculate the next update time correctly.
Store timeout time instead of the timeout delta, so that it doesn't get outdated.
Create a new callback when the time update happens for the original callback.
Make sure last visited time is updated in the details pane by keeping track
of the description actors created for the detail actors.
Add comments to the new functions.
Extend ShellTextureCache by adding the concept of a policy, which
we expose to the public API for loading URIs.
This lets us have the shell tell the cache to keep the information
icon texture around forever.
Secondly, fix the caching of recent info; we shouldn't always be
loading the backup pixbuf. Move recent info loading entirely
into ShellTextureCache.
The semi-transparent gradient on the panel is replaced by a
solid black background. The shadow below the panel is removed.
The clock is put at the center instead of the right side of
the panel and has the date removed. The user icon is hidden.
Instead of boldface, a regular font is used. Padding is added
on each side and between panel elements.
button.js: Allow for custom text colors and fonts.
panel.js: Change the panel colors and layout, remove the shadow.
GenericDisplay wasn't quite completely converted to the ShellOverflowList
model. Since the list now holds all actors, the indexing/wrapping
was incorrect.
Add a property which lets us keep track of how many items are displayed,
use this in genericDisplay.
Avoid setting selectedIndex to -2 when going up with no items.
If we're not displaying any results at all, don't attempt keynav (for now).
Make the ClutterText and ClutterTexture from the status menu
button available to JavaScript, and from there improve the
font definition of the user name.
shell-status-menu.[ch]: Add public get_name() and get_icon()
functions that return the user name label and icon
texture, remove the markup from update_name_text().
panel.js: Set the font for the button consistently with that
of the other panel labels.
Move thumbnail creation into ShellTextureCache. It's now asynchronous,
and we cache the result.
Create a DocManager class which keeps around the DocInfo objects between
invocations. This is also where we ensure we remove thumbnails for
recent items not known anymore.
Before, we looked up application data in several ways; the ShellAppSystem
exported just application ids (though it parsed the .desktop files internally),
and we'd create a Gio.DesktopAppInfo object (reparsing the desktop file again),
wrapping that inside a JavaScript AppInfo class, and finally the AppDisplay
would again parse the .desktop file to get the categories.
Also, to look up applications by id previously, we traversed the entire
menu structure each time.
Some qualities such as the NoDisplay flag were not easily exposed in the old
system. And if we wanted to expose them we'd have to change several different
application information wrapper classes.
All in all, it was quite suboptimal.
The theme of this new code is basically "just use libgnome-menus". We do
not call into Gio for app lookups anymore. The new Shell.AppInfo class
is a disguised pointer for the GMenuTreeEntry item.
To fix the caching, we keep a simple hash table of desktop id -> ShellAppInfo.
