Use the configured desktop background color, if defined, otherwise
default to the current theme's background color. If a user chooses
a background color via "desktop settings", then this new color
will always be used.
Switching themes will delete the user-defined background color, so
the background color resets to the theme's defined color.
Instead of using a low-level, proprietary API inside LibGfx, let's use
Core::AnonymousBuffer which already abstracts anon_fd and offers a
higher-level API too.
This functionality, while neat, isn't really something you need enabled
all the time. Let's make it opt-in instead. Pass MakeInspectable::Yes
to the Core::EventLoop constructor if you want your program to become
inspectable.
Changes to the system font settings are now persisted in /etc.
Note that you still need to restart the system for changes to fully
apply in all programs.
This patch adds a set_system_fonts() IPC API that takes the two main
font queries as parameters. We'll probably expand this with additional
queries when we figure out what they should be.
Note that changing the system fonts on a live system mostly takes
effect in newly launched programs. This is because GUI::Widget will
currently cache a pointer to the Gfx::FontDatabase::default_font()
when first constructed. This is something we'll have to fix somehow.
Also note that the settings are not yet persisted.
Instead of everybody getting their system fonts from Gfx::FontDatabase
(where it's all hardcoded), they now get it from WindowServer.
These are then plumbed into the usual Gfx::FontDatabase places so that
the old default_font() and default_fixed_width_font() APIs keep working.
Problem:
- `static` variables consume memory and sometimes are less
optimizable.
- `static const` variables can be `constexpr`, usually.
- `static` function-local variables require an initialization check
every time the function is run.
Solution:
- If a global `static` variable is only used in a single function then
move it into the function and make it non-`static` and `constexpr`.
- Make all global `static` variables `constexpr` instead of `const`.
- Change function-local `static const[expr]` variables to be just
`constexpr`.
Instead of doing a full IPC round-trip for the client and server to
greet each other upon connecting, the server now automatically sends
a "fast_greet" message when a client connects.
The client simply waits for that message to arrive before proceeding.
(Waiting is necessary since LibGUI relies on the palette information
included in the greeting.)
This was only synchronous since WindowServer managed the ID allocation.
Doing this on the client side instead allows us to make create_menu()
an asynchronous IPC call, removing a bunch of IPC stalls during
application startup.
Since applications using Core::EventLoop no longer need to create a
socket in /tmp/rpc/, and also don't need to listen for incoming
connections on this socket, we can remove a whole bunch of pledges!
This was already being used asynchronously by LibGUI, which meant that
WindowServer would generate a response, and the client would ignore it.
This patch simplifies the WindowServer side so it no longer generates
the unnecessary response.
We were not substituting the window modified marker ("[*]") in the
title strings we were sending to WM clients. This caused the Taskbar
to show pre-substitution window titles for the Text Editor application.
This patch moves the window title resolution to Window::compute_title()
which is then used throughout.
Also update the window switcher for good measure. The window switcher
doesn't visualize this information at the moment, but we generally do
this when any window state changes.
Instead of trying to update only the little bit that changes, let's
have a function that updates all the window menu items in one go.
It's just a couple of string and boolean assignment, and the real
cost is performing the subsequent menu redraw, which remains the same.
Without this change, window buttons would get stuck in the "pressed"
state as long as the left mouse button was pressed, even if you moved
the mouse cursor out of the button rect.
Make the taskbar 27 pixels tall instead of 28. This makes the button
icons and applets vertically centered.
On a related note, this required touching *way* too many places..
This enables us to use keys of type NonnullRefPtr in HashMaps and
HashTables.
This commit also includes fixes in various places that used
HashMap<T, NonnullRefPtr<U>>::get() and expected to get an
Optional<NonnullRefPtr<U>> and now get an Optional<U*>.
This ignores unhandled mouse clicks for the window buttons. Right now
right-clicking on the window buttons animates them as if some action
were to occur when the mouse button is released.
Most of the IPC that happens between clients and WindowServer when
creating and configuring windows can be asynchronous. This further
reduces the amount of ping-ponging played during application startup.
Creating a menu/menubar needs to be synchronous because we need the
ID from the response, but adding stuff *to* menus (and adding menus
to menubars, and menubars to windows) can all be asynchronous.
This dramatically reduces the amount of IPC ping-pong played by
each GUI application during startup.
I measured how long it takes TextEditor to enter the main event loop
and it's over 10% faster here. (Down from ~86ms to ~74ms)
This enables support for automatically generating client methods.
With this added the user gets code completion support for all
IPC methods which are available on a connection object.
