GWindow::move_to_front() can now be used to move a window to the top of
the window stack.
We use this in Terminal to bring the settings window to the front if it
already exists when it's requested, in case it's hiding behind something.
Fullscreen windows are rendered alone and above everything else when they
are active, and as part of the regular window stack order when something
else is active.
Currently windows cannot be made fullscreen after-the-fact, but must have
the fullscreen flag included in their CreateWindow message.
It should not possible to interact with the menu, taskbar or window frame
while the active window is fullscreened. :^)
The wheel events will end up in GWidget::mousewheel_event(GMouseEvent&)
on the client-side. This patch also implements basic wheel scrolling in
GScrollableWidget via this mechanism. :^)
Use this in Terminal to tell the window server to not bother with the alpha
channel in the backing store if we're running without transparency.
Semi-transparent terminals look neat but they slow everything down, so this
keeps things fast while making it easy to switch to the flashy mode. :^)
This widget is automatically included in GStatusBar, but can be added in
any other place, too. When clicked (with the left button), it initiates a
window resize (using a WM request.)
In this patch I also fixed up some issues with override cursors being
cleared after the WindowServer finishes a drag or resize.
We throw away the backing store if the window rect changes size. Since the
resizing happens asynchronously at the mercy of the WindowServer, we might
end up in set_rect() again before gaining a new backing store. So there are
no guarantees that the back/front bitmaps exist here.
This could happen if GWindow::hide() was called while a window had pending
repaint rects. The deferred_invoke() lambda in GWindow::update() would
eventually run, but by then, hide() had cleared all pending rects.
To get truly atomic updates, add a mechanism for passing arbitrary amounts
of extra data along with WindowServer messages. This allows us to pass all
the rects in a single message.
This patch moves to sending up to 32 rects at a time when coordinating the
painting between WindowServer and its clients. Rects are also merged into
a minimal DisjointRectSet on the server side before painting.
Interactive resize looks a lot better after this change, since we can
usually do all the repainting needed in one go.
Only process paint and resize events on the GUI client side if those events
have the latest up-to-date window size. This drastically reduces async
overdraw during interactive resize.
The WindowServer still holds on to at least one backing store in case it
needs to paint us again before we can render a new one. This ensures that
we don't end up stuck with an undersized backing store.
When resizing a window, we often end up having to paint some part of it
without coverage in the current backing store. This patch makes those cases
look nicer by having a fallback background color for each window, passed
along with the CreateWindow client message.
Any GWidget can have a tooltip and it will automatically pop up below the
center of the widget when hovered. GActions added to GToolBars will use
the action text() as their tooltip automagically. :^)
