The overview transition consists of getting the initial and final
states of the overview adjustment, derivating various other internal
states from them (such as the fit mode, opacities, translations, etc),
and finally interpolating the allocation boxes.
When interpolating between the fit mode, WorkspacesView uses the current
allocation box to derivate the SINGLE and ALL fit mode boxes. However,
that creates a curved path during overview transitions. What we really
want to do here is calculate the fit mode box relative to the corresponding
overview state. For example:
+----------------+----------+------------------------+
| Overview State | Fit Mode | Workspaces geometry |
+----------------+----------+------------------------+
| HIDDEN | SINGLE | Cover entire screen |
| WINDOW PICKER | SINGLE | Between minimap & Dash |
| APP GRID | ALL | 15% screen height |
+----------------+----------+------------------------+
Using the table above as the reference, when the overview transitions
between WINDOW PICKER and APP GRID, we must interpolate between
(SINGLE fit mode @ between minimap & Dash) and (ALL fit mode @ 15% screen
height). That way, we always interpolate the final boxes, which corrects
the odd path that workspaces follow during this transition.
Make the WorkspacesView of the primary monitor use these cached boxes
when the overview is in the middle of a transition, and the fit modes of
the initial and final state differ, to calculate the workspaces positions.

It makes more sense in a spatial overview that the app grid
comes and goes to somewhere in the screen, instead of fading
in and out into the void.
Make the app grid rise from the bottom of the screen.

Move AppDisplay, WorkspacesDisplay, and ThumbnailsBox from ViewSelector to
ControlsManager. This allows to always allocate the correct size for AppDisplay,
and will enable for a plethora of further improvements. The end goal is to
completely remove ViewSelector, and let ControlsManager handle the layout of
everything that's visible in the overview.
For now, replace the apps page with a dummy actor in ViewSelector.
Adjust various callers around the codebase to not access the ViewSelector
directly from the overview anymore.
Bind the opacity of the primary workspace to WorkspaceDisplay's opacity. This
allows removing the parent opacity hack in place, which will be done by the
next commit.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1624>
Now that Overview is able to ease into any state, be it window
picker or app grid, we can move this ViewSelector method to
Overview itself, which is its rightful place to live.
Remove ViewSelector.showApps(), and make all callers call
Main.overview.show(ControlsState.APP_GRID). Also make sure the
show apps button is correctly toggled.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1624>
Next commits will requires ControlsManager to animate to different
states, depending on how Overview is called. Add a new 'state'
parameter to ControlsManager's, and OverviewActor's animateToOverview,
and Overview.show().
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1624>
Remove Workspace.zoomTo/FromOverview(), they're unused now. Rename
everything up to ControlsManager to prepareToEnter/LeaveOverview(),
since these classes don't run the animation anymore.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1624>
Instead of delegating it to ViewSelector, make the transition to and from
overview ease the main state adjustment.
This commit temporarily breaks these animations, but on the other hand
introduces an important feature: ViewSelector is always allocated to the
actual size. This will finally allow for adding WorkspacesView as a child
of WorkspacesDisplay, and finally remove the actual geometry hack, which
is what next commit is about.
This commit also effectively reverts b64103efc.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1624>
Instead of directly accessing ViewSelector and calling these methods
there, cascade the calls to OverviewActor, ControlsManager, and finally
ViewSelector. Also move the opacity transition to OverviewActor.
This commit has no functional change.

Currently, ActivitiesContainer reacts to showAppsButton and
transitions between app grid and window picking states on
its own. In the future, we want full control over this.
ControlsManager already has a state adjustment that represents
all possible overview states. Propagate this adjustment up to
ActivitiesContainer, and use it to drive the transition.
This requires moving the callback to the showAppsButton to
ControlsManager, since now it control the state adjustment
itself, not ActivitiesContainer's adjustment.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1624>
In the future, we want to tightly control the state of the
layout throught gestures, which requires hooking everything
together with adjustments. This is the first step in this
direction.
Add a new custom layout manager for ControlsManager that
allocates the search entry, the view selector, and the Dash,
vertically.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1624>
This is now all centralized in the apps page, so move the workspaces
thumbnails to ViewSelector's apps page. This allows us to remove
all the slider controls too, since they're now unused.
The transition between showing the workspaces, and the app grid, is
based on the most recent mockups: scale and move it down, and fade it
out.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1593>
Add them both in a StBoxLayout subclass with a vertical layout. This
new ActivitiesContainer class already contains an adjustment controlling
the transition between workspaces and app grid states, and althought it
is internal to it, it'll be easy to integrate with gestures in the
future.
Notice that AppDisplay is added before WorkspacesDisplay. That's because
we want the paint order to paint WorkspacesDisplay on top of AppDisplay.
Switch the ViewsPage enum to call this page ACTIVITIES, and adjust the
only caller in OverviewControls to it. At last, rename '_appsPage' to
'_activitiesPage' to also reflect the name change.
The usefulness of organizing this code in pages is lost here, but this
is a transitional state, and pages will be removed in future changes.

And move it to the bottom of the overview. Change the height-based calculation
of the icon sizes to be width-based. Put the DashFader in a vertical box, and
make all corners of the Dash equally rounded.

Make it subclass ClutterActor, since we don't need any of StWidget's
features. Pass the source actor of the bind constraint in the
constructor, and remove the extra method to set the source actor.

ControlsLayout is a tiny layout manager whose only purpose
is emit "allocation-changed" after allocation. This signal
was listened to update the workspaces actual geometry.
However, since d66cd0d206, ControlsManager doesn't listen
to this signal anymore, rendering the class useless.
Remove ControlsLayout.

When you tap Super and see the sidebars and windows slide, it looks more
cohesive if those animations complete at the same time.
Previously there were 0.09 seconds difference between the two animations
which was enough to make it look slightly buggy. Now it doesn't.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1289
The workspace switcher blocks state updates while the indicator is
animating. Since commit 9c1940ef9d the indicator is considered to
be animating when the workspace adjustment's value doesn't equal the
active workspace.
There is one case though where this breaks badly: When a workspace
is inserted before the active one, the adjustment's upper and value
properties are changed without transitions. But if that change happens
while there's an ongoing transition to the previously active workspace,
the value gets out of sync with the active workspace and we end up
blocking state updates indefinitely.
Fix this by removing any transitions before setting the adjustment
value.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

Now that both ThumbnailsBox and WorkspacesDisplay use single adjustments for
controlling indicator and scrolling, create the adjustment in OverviewControls
and pass it to both objects, effectively syncing indicator to scrolling.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
Every since commit aa394754, StBoxLayout has supported ClutterActor's
expand/align properties in addition to the container-specific child
properties. Given that that's the only container left with a special
child meta, it's time to fully embrace the generic properties (and
eventually remove the child meta).

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most
of classes, by inheriting all the actor container classes.
Uses interfaces when needed for making sure that multiple classes will implement
some required methods or to avoid redefining the same code multiple times.

We are currently inconsistent whether to put the operators in front
of the corresponding line or at the end of the preceding one. The
most dominant style for now is to put condition and first branch on
the same line, and then align the second branch:
let foo = condition ? fooValue
: notFooValue;
Unfortunately that's a style that eslint doesn't support, so to account
for it, our legacy configuration currently plainly ignores all indentation
in conditionals.
In order to drop that exception and not let messed up indentation slip
through, change all ternary operators to the non-legacy style.

Remove transitions of the `slide-x` property of the layout manager
before we set the property to a fixed value, otherwise the transitions
might still be running and change the value after we set it.

As pointed out by designers, fading it signals that the
icon grid is not a drop target, when now it actually is.
Remove the fade effect applied to the icon grid when
dragging. Since this is the only caller of fadeIn() and
fadeHalf(), also remove these methods.

Properties that aren't marked as animatable don't support *implicit*
animations, but they can still be animated with explicit transitions.
Use the newly added convenience method to cut down further on Tweener
usage.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/666
Clutter animations work on GObject properties on animatables. The
last commit took care of the latter by turning all animated objects
into actor subclasses, now it's time to make all properties used
in Tweens into GObject properties.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/666
We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/663
While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
When destructuring multiple return values, we often use trailing commas
to indicate that there are additional elements that we are ignoring.
There isn't anything inherently wrong with that, but it's a style that's
too confusing for eslint - on the one hand we require a space after a
comma, on the other hand we require no space before closing brackets.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/607
Since version 1.50.0, gjs defines GObject.NotImplementedError for throwing
errors when a "virtual" method that requires a subclass implementation is not
defined.
So use this instead of a generic JS Error in such cases.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/549
If an actor's allocation is outdated, clutter_actor_get_allocation_box()
will queue a relayout. That's why it's advised to not use the function
unless the allocation is known to be valid (namely during paint), but
in particular not from within get_preferred_width/height vfuncs.
Using the :allocation property (which may be outdated) would be better,
but in this case we can simply delegate the request to the correct actor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1065
ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

This is another straight port from Shell.GenericContainer.
The important thing to notice is that the calculation is
broken if the StThemeNode helpers (adjust_preferred_* and
adjust_for_*) aren't used.
The downside of this patch is that it removed the skip_paint
from the thumbnails. Keeping it would add an unecessarily
large amount of code.

We used to keep the workspace switcher slid out when the user made use
of workspaces. This was changed in commit 2d84975 to give more space
to window previews, but it turned out to make the switcher quite a lot
more difficult to interact with (rather than only being a question of
discoverability). So go back to the previous behavior.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/161
During global grabs, actors miss enter and leave events required
for correct hover tracking. This can cause the workspace switcher
to get stuck while slid out, so ensure the actor's hover state is
synced after drag operations.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/161
When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/23
We currently expand the workspace switcher when workspaces are being
used, that is when there are any windows on a non-active workspace.
While this helps with the switcher's discoverability, it does eat into
the space available for window previews. By now the component should
be well established, so we can afford opting for space efficiency and
only expand the switcher while the user actually interacts with it.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible

Both the Overview::scroll-event and actions added via addAction()
are meant to work anywhere in the overview, but for now only work

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
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.

Commit a4475465f1 fixed the wrong alignment for the fully visible
control, but regressed the partially slid-out one; take the slideX
factor into account to get the right offset for both cases.
Controls that slide left are located on the left, so the offset to
align them with the corresponding edge is always 0. It's controls
on the right that need a different offset when the available width
exceeds the child's width.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728899
Commit 12845f0eef reset translationX to 0 to fix the slide-in
animation of the dash when dragging a search result, but 0 is the
wrong value for the thumbnail slider - the next time it will be
shown, it will just pop up instead of sliding in due to translationX
already being at its target value.
Fix this by making _updateTranslation take the actual visibility into
account and call that to set the correct translation in dragBegin.
Controls are slided in by animating translationX from the actor's
width to 0; however as _updateTranslation() will skip the animation
when the property is already at its target value and 0 happens to be
the initial value of translationX, the initial animation is skipped.
Fix this by initializing translationX to undefined, which will always
differ from a valid target value.
The comment is right, updating the translation should be deferred
to pageEmpty, or else overview controls will just pop up instead
of sliding in. So revert that part of commit 6a7fa52879.
Currently we are overriding the explicit calls to slideIn
given that it's called also with the signal of showing overview.
It was necessary because of the bug that previous patch fixed,
so now we can just delete that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732901
The workspace switcher should be expanded when workspaces are in use.
Our current implementation assumes that workspaces are used when there
are windows on at least two workspaces. However workspaces are already
used when moving from a non-empty workspace to an empty one (presumably
with the intention to launch something on that workspace), so tweak the
heuristic accordingly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662457
As far as I can tell, the only behavior change of a transient source
is that they auto-destroy after viewing their summary box pointer.
Since all transient sources are only associated with transient
notifications, it seems that we can never get to their summary box
pointer in the first place! Remove support for this.

`a + b ? c : d` is parsed as `(a + b) ? c : d`, not the more intuitive
`a + (b ? c : d)`.
This was causing a bad slide animation and Clutter warnings when coming
out of the overview.
Not because ClutterActor is bad or wrong, but because I always get
confused on the difference, and having them both in SlideLayout
makes the code a bit easier to read and understand.
The parent SlidingControl had an onOverviewShowing, but we had
overridden it with the same code in both subclasses. Just move it
back to SlidingControl.
In order for the workspace thumbnails box to have the correct size,
we need to constrain the width of the thumbnails box to the height we're
given, instead of assuming an unlimited height.

This reverts commit e31693bbee.
This doesn't properly adjust the allocation, leading to an unbalanced
overview where things aren't centered properly. Just revert for now,
and we'll rethink this next cycle.
When coming back from search or apps, the workspace thumbnails and dash
don't slide in but "pop in". This is because of bad timing: when slideIn
is called, we immediately start the translation animation, and it
completes before by the time we fade the new page in.
Fix this by calling slideIn and slideOut at two different times: we now
slide out when the old page with our controls is fading out, and slide in
when the new page with our controls is fading in.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708340
We currently update workspaces geometry when we are notified about
allocation changes of the overview group; however as the geometry
is based on stage coordinates, we miss notifications when the
allocation relative to the parent is unchanged, which happens when
the primary monitor's position changes but not its resolution.
Use a custom layout manager to give us a signal that is emitted
reliably.
