Georges Basile Stavracas Neto ca503774b2 panel: Add workspaces indicators in activities button
After removing the app name and icon, the next natural step that
was requested from the design team is to add workspaces indicators
to the top bar, where currently the Activities button is placed.

In addition to that, this is desired because there are known issues
with using "Activities" as a label for the overview. A more
comprehensive rationale for that can be found at [1].

Add an workspaces indicator replacing the Activities label in the
activities button.

The WorkspaceIndicators class controls how many workspaces dots
exists, their expansion, and the width multiplier. The WorkspaceDot
class takes the expansion and the multiplier, and applies it
internally so that we can get perfectly rounded dots at all
times without using CSS hacks.

The width multipliers are hardcoded, and defined by the design
team. We can revisit them later if necessary. Special care is
taken to not let these width multipliers result in fractional
widths.

When the number of workspaces changes, WorkspaceIndicators adds
new dot to the end, and animate them. When removing, scale the dot
out, then destroy it.

This does not work with workspace grids, but that's not supported
by GNOME Shell anyway, so no effort is made to cover this use case.

The button continues to have "Activities" as its accessible name,
but the label actor is removed.

Also adjust the padding of the activities pill, so it better wraps
the new indicators.

GNOME Shell

GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.

For more information about GNOME Shell, including instructions on how to build GNOME Shell from source and how to get involved with the project, see the project wiki.

Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system. Please refer to the Schedule wiki page to see the supported versions.

Contributing

To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell.

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. If a merge request fixes an existing issue, it is good practice to append the full issue URL to each commit message. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant topic, such as panel: or status/network:, and it's always better to write too much in the commit message body than too little.

Default branch

The default development branch is main. If you still have a local checkout under the old name, use:

git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
