We were missing to account for areas that are not covered by any
window. If any of these areas are covered by an overlay we need to
render the wallpaper into transparency and also render the overlay
over them.
This fixes not rendering overlays properly when e.g. the FileManager
(desktop) crashed as there is no longer any window underneath.
If a screen layout cannot be applied, instead of failing to start
WindowServer try to fall back to an auto-generated screen layout with
the devices that are detected.
Also, be a bit smarter about changing the current screen layout.
Instead of closing all framebuffers and bringing them back up, keep
what we can and only change resolution on those that we need to change
them on. To make this work we also need to move away from using an
array of structures to hold compositor related per-screen data to
attaching it to the Screen itself, which makes re-using a screen much
simpler.
While structs being forward declared as classes is not strictly an
issue, Clang complains as this is not portable code, since some ABIs
treat classes declared as `class` and `struct` differently.
It's easier to fix these than to reason about explicitly disabling
another warning.
Because window states and various flags can affect the windows'
rendered areas it's safer to use the last computed occlusion rectangles
to invalidate areas on the screen that may have to be re-rendered due
to e.g. a window size change.
Fixes#6723
Some devices may require DMA transfers to flush the updated buffer
areas prior to flipping. For those devices we track the areas that
require flushing prior to the next flip. For devices that do not
support flipping, but require flushing, we'll simply flush after
updating the front buffer.
This also adds a small optimization that skips these steps entirely for
a screen that doesn't have any updates that need to be rendered.
This solves two problems:
* A window was sometimes deemed occluded when the window rect was
entirely covered by other rectangles, transparent or opaque. This
caused a window to stop rendering even if a small portion was still
visible, e.g. when it was merely covered by a window shadow.
* The window switcher is interested in window updates even when a
window is entirely covered by another one, or when it is on another
desktop. This forces windows to be not occluded in those cases.
This also adds the ability to query how many virtual desktops are
set up, and for the Taskbar to be notified when the active virtual
desktop has changed.
This creates a 2-dimensional array of WindowStack instances, one for
each virtual desktop. The main desktop 0,0 is the main desktop, which
is the desktop used for all stationary windows (e.g. taskbar, desktop).
When adding windows to a desktop, stationary windows are always added
to the main desktop.
When composing the desktop, there are usually two WindowStacks
involved. For stationary windows, the main desktop will be traversed,
and for everything else the current virtual desktop will be iterated.
Iteration is interweaved to preserve the correct order. During the
transition animation, two WindowStacks will be iterated at the same
time.
This patch adds the WindowServer::Animation class, which represents
a simple animation driven by the compositor.
An animation has a length (in milliseconds) and two hooks:
- on_update: called whenever the animation should render something.
- on_stop: called when the animation is finished and/or stopped.
This patch also ports the window minimization animation to this new
mechanism. :^)
An Overlay is similar to a transparent window, but has less overhead
and does not get rendered within the window stack. Basically, the area
that an Overlay occupies forces transparency rendering for any window
underneath, which allows us to render them flicker-free.
This also adds a new API that allows displaying the screen numbers,
e.g. while the user configures the screen layout in DisplaySettings
Because other things like drag&drop or the window-size label are not
yet converted to use this new mechanism, they will be drawn over the
screen-number currently.
This enables the shot utility to capture all screens or just one, and
enables the Magnifier application to track the mouse cursor across
multiple screens.
This allows WindowServer to use multiple framebuffer devices and
compose the desktop with any arbitrary layout. Currently, it is assumed
that it is configured contiguous and non-overlapping, but this should
eventually be enforced.
To make rendering efficient, each window now also tracks on which
screens it needs to be rendered. This way we don't have to iterate all
the windows for each screen but instead use the same rendering loop and
then only render to the screen (or screens) that the window actually
uses.

This leaves menu applets running but invisible, and that's a regression
we need to take care of obviously. But not today, because it's getting
too late.
This option was renamed from scaled to stretch in DisplaySettings in
699ba84, but since WindowServer receives a plain string and was not
updated, it wouldn't recognize the new renamed value as a valid option.
Turns out sending plain strings via IPC and only mapping them to enum
values on the receiving end is brittle, we should probably update
Desktop::set_wallpaper_mode() to use an enum as well at some point.
Fixes#5006.
Now, `chres 640 480 2` can set the UI to HighDPI 640x480 at runtime. A
real GUI for changing the display factor will come later.
(`chres 640 480 2` followed by `chres 1280 960` is very fast since
we don't have to re-allocate the framebuffer since both modes use
the exact same number of physical pixels.)
