We generally want view content centered, in particular where the
view itself is symmetrical. So move the dash to a separate layer
and use a placeholder to account for its size when showing the
window picker, which is the only view where it doesn't make sense
to center the content.

Commit 43ed66cf26 changed the toplevel overview actor, so it
makes sense to change the show/hide transitions to use that instead
of the existing group, to avoid elements layered on top of the
group being excluded from the transitions.
It is useful at times to perform several actions that would usually
close the overview (for instance launching an application) at once.
Currently we allow this by dragging items to a workspace rather than
just clicking it, but it's an odd metaphor with its own set of
problems.
Introduce an alternative approach (inspired by file selection in
file managers) by keeping the overview open if a Control key is
held down.

Using the scroll wheel in the window picker should switch workspaces.
As the picker doesn't have a visible boundary though, it makes sense
to accept scroll-event for the entire overview area. Rather than
making the overview's main actor public, expose scroll-events via
a signal.

This commit updates the code to use mutter's new background
api, and changes the shell's startup animation to be closer
to the mockups.

All the complexity with a custom actor and a generic container was
just to add some padding below the overview controls. Remove that,
and use CSS instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694100
Account for the search entry space at the bottom (the former message
tray clone) individually in each side control, instead of packing
another actor in the overview.
This allows us to extend the central view all the way to the bottom,
while still keeping controls centered vertically.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693987
And use it in overviewControls. When we moved this code from overview.js
to overviewControls.js we lost a condition so we now slide in controls
even when going back from the overview, which looks bad.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693974
Both WorkspacesDisplay and ThumbnailsBox need to know when windows have been
restacked. Instead of each tracking changes on their own or trying to call
each other, have the overview keep track and do the calculations, emitting
a signal with the result.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690175
Adjust the layout of the overview and window thumbnails to make them
bigger. Also, make the background shade darker to compensate for the
increased thumbnail density.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689876
The message tray actor also includes notifications themselves. We want
our ghost to be sized as the base part of the tray instead.
Just make sure to use the same style class as the base actor then, as
its height is specified by the CSS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690174
When pressing the overlay key three times, things went like this:
* show(), push a modal
* hide(), will pop a modal after hiding is done
* show(), push a modal
Thus, when the showing is done, and then it activated the hiding,
it popped one modal, but not the other. This patch changes things
to be:
* show(), push a modal
* hide(), will pop a modal after hiding is done
* hide(), no-op
That is, mashing the overlay-key when it's showing will always make
it hide, not mashing an odd number of times.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688589
Currently we assume that either the initial sessionMode will have
the overview or none of the pushed modes - starting without the
overview and pushing a mode that adds it fails spectacularly.
However this is exactly what we are going to do when loading external
modes asynchronously - we'll initially use the default mode while
the modes are loading, and switch to the mode passed on the command
line when finished. So make sure that the overview UI gets initialized
properly in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689304
For now we just use it to assign an identifier to modal modes in
which we want to allow some keybindings, but we don't use it for
any actual filtering; we'll start doing this shortly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
When in the overview, if you move the mouse cursor over one of the
application launchers in the dash, all the unrelated windows are dimmed
both both in the window view and in the workspace view.
It helps to easily understand whether or not there are already opened
windows for this application, and where they are. It can also help in
differentiating the windows in the overview (sometimes the thumbnails
aren't precise enough to easily know which thumbnail belongs to which
application).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657315
Adding a radial gradent to the dimming effect gives more depth to
the background.
Shading is computed in a GLSL fragment shader, and uses distance to
center of the screen to interpolate the darkening value to use.

Notifications that are created in response to direct user actions like
"is ready" or "'foo' has been removed from favorites" should always be
displayed even though the user has marked him/herself busy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662900
This ensures that the desktop window's smooth fadeout when going to
the overview is in the same spot as the desktop window, which may not
always be at 0, 0.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681159
As PAM messages are now shown below the password entry, there is no
need for this complexity, and we can just hide all notifications.
Also, this avoids the ambiguity between notification.showWhenLocked and
source.showInLockScreen, which have very different effects.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683369
Since we eventually want to add a system for changing the top panel
contents depending on the current state of the shell, let's use the
"session mode" feature for this, and add a mechanism for updating the
session mode at runtime. Add support for every key besides the two
functional keys, and make all the components update automatically when the
session mode is changed. Add a new lock-screen mode, and make the lock
screen change to this when locked.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683156
Commit 22eea750 made info messages show up in the lock screen, but
as setShowWhenLocked() throws an exception when called on non-transient
notifications, the transient hint has to be set first.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682268
We pass the dash’s showApps button to the viewSelector, and we connect it
to the showing and hiding of the appsView. This is necessary because there
are different mechanisms for switching the views, and it has to stay in
sync with the button’s state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682109
The entry should be positioned in the center of the overview. This makes
that its position can’t be set in the viewSelector without making things
overly complicated. Therefore we move the entry to the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682109
Design calls for views being accessible by other means than the current tab
system, so we have no longer a need for the public viewTab API. Move the
initialization of tabs to the viewSelector and make
viewSelector.addViewTab() private.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682109
Track screen lock status in the message tray, and filter banner
notifications. The message tray is completely hidden when the screen is
locked, but exceptions can be made for individual transient notifications,
such as shell messages and the on screen keyboard.
Non transient sources are shown in the middle of the lock screen. Resident
notifications (such as those from Rhythmbox) are shown in full, while
persistent ones are displayed as icon and message count.

The dependency chain spirals out from folks->zeitgeist->xapian...and
I'm really not interested in pulling in all of that into the core
shell.
There is work on splitting out contact search into gnome-contacts; I'd
add a bug link but Bugzilla is down.
clutter_actor_get_children requires making a temporary GSList from
a linked list structure, and then creating a JS Array from that GSList.
For simple cases like the number of children, use clutter_actor_get_n_children.
