Instead of letting buttons determine the relative position
of their menus, a workaround only used by Statusbar segments,
open them all uniformly for a nice, consistent UI.
Passing a rect to popup() now routes to open_button_menu(), an
analog to open_menubar_menu(), which adjusts the menu's popup
position in the same way. Fixes button menus obscuring the buttons
which spawn them and jutting out at odd corners depending on screen
position.
with the CaptureInput WindowMode. This mode will serve the same
function as accessories: redirecting input while allowing parent
windows to remain active.
Previously, Windows only understood blocking modality: Windows were
either modal, i.e., in a blocking state, or not. Windows could also
be set as Accessories or ToolWindows, attributes which technically
applied modes to their parents but were implemented ad hoc. This patch
redefines these modal effects as WindowModes and sets up some helpers.
This will let us simplify a lot of modal logic in the upcoming patches
and make it easier to build new modal effects in the future.
Windows can now set 1 of 5 modes before reification:
-Modeless: No modal effect; begins a new modal chain
-Passive: Window joins its modal chain but has no effect
-RenderAbove: Window renders above its parent
-CaptureInput: Window captures the active input role from its parent
-Blocking: Window blocks all interaction with its modal chain
States like fullscreen and tiling are dynamic and don't alter behavior
in modal chains, so they aren't included.
SystemEffects are sent to the WindowManager through
set_system_effects() and broadcast to Desktop clients with
update_system_effects(). WindowManager is reponsible for saving,
loading and rebroadcasting effects from WindowServer.ini on
config changes.
Previously we would wait for a separate message confirming that a
wallpaper got set instead of just calling a synchronous api.
I'm guessing that this was a limitation of the IPC system when
WindowServer got ported to using it.
This patch removes the SetWallpaperFinished message and updates the
set_wallpaper api to synchronously return a success boolean.
This allows us to make sure that those operations are performed
in the right order. Affected functions are:
- add_window_stealing_for_client
- set_window_parent_from_client
- remove_window_stealing_for_client
- remove_window_stealing
Previously when setting an action's icon we would only change the bitmap
stored by the action. This patch adds logic to propagate that change to
toolbar buttons as well as window menus.
This fixes an issue in SoundPlayer that would cause the play button not
to reflect the play state.
With this change you can now set the theme and background color at the
same time in the Display Settings. Before if both were changed
before hitting 'apply' the theme background color would overwrite
the custom background.
The WindowServer _really_ does not need to know the filesystem path to
it's wallpaper, and allows setting arbitrary wallpapers (those outside
of `/res/wallpapers`).
The GUI::Desktop will keep track of the path to the wallpaper (if any),
and save it to config if desired (to be persisted).
This avoids the need to `unveil` paths to the wallpaper, fixing #11158
Briefly flash the menubar menu containing the keyboard shortcut action
to give the user immediate visual feedback on their interaction with the
system.
Add option to reverse primary and secondary buttons in Mouse Settings.
- WindowServer.ini: add default entry
- switch-mouse-buttons.png: new icon for settings entry
- Mouse.gml/MouseWidget.*: new settings dialog
- ClientConnection/WindowManager/Server: window message for settings
- EventLoop.cpp: swap buttons 1 and 2 if settings are on
This allows any client to ask the WindowServer to give it the color
of the screen bitmap under the cursor.
There's currently no way to get the screen bitmap *without* the
cursor already drawn on it, so for now we just take a pixel
beside the actual cursor position to avoid just getting the cursors
color.
This feature was problematic for several reasons:
- Tracking *all* the user activity seems like a privacy nightmare.
- LibGUI actually only supports one globally tracking widget per window,
even if no window is necessary, or if multiple callbacks are desired.
- Widgets can easily get confused whether an event is actually directed
at it, or is actually just the result of global tracking.
The third item caused an issue where right-clicking CatDog opened two
context menus instead of one.
Currently, any number of menubars can be plugged in and out of a window.
This is unnecessary complexity, since we only need one menubar on a
window. This commit removes most of the logic for dynamically attaching
and detaching menubars and makes one menubar always available. The
menubar is only considered existent if it has at least a single menu in
it (in other words, an empty menubar will not be shown).
This commit additionally fixes a bug wherein menus added after a menubar
has been attached would not have their rects properly setup, and would
therefore appear glitched out on the top left corner of the menubar.
This implements window stealing in WindowServer, which allows clients
to mark a window they own as 'stealable' by another client. Indicating
that the other client may use it for any purpose.
This also updates set_window_parent_from_id so that the client must
first mark its window as stealable before allowing other clients to
use it as a parent.
The only remaining sync call from client to server is now the call
that switches a window's backing store. That one actually relies on
the synchronization to hand over ownership of the backing stores,
so it has to stay synchronous for now.
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.
The launch_origin_rect parameter to create_window() specifies where on
screen the window was launched from. It's optional, but if you provide
it, the new window will have a short wireframe animation from the origin
to the initial window frame rect.
GUI::Window looks for the "__libgui_launch_origin_rect" environment
variable. Put your launch origin rect in there with the format
"<x>,<y>,<width>,<height>" and the first GUI::Window shown by the app
will use that as the launch origin rect.
Also it looks pretty neat, although I'm sure we can improve it. :^)
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 sets the stage so that DisplaySettings can configure the screen
layout and set various screen resolutions in one go. It also allows
for an easy "atomic" revert of the previous settings.
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.
Let clients manage their own window ID's. If you try to create a new
window with an existing ID, WindowServer will simply disconnect you
for misbehaving.
This removes the need for window creation to be synchronous, which
means that most GUI applications can now batch their entire GUI
initialization sequence without having to block waiting for responses.
This patch moves the magnifier rect computation over to the server side
to ensure that the mouse cursor position and the screen image never get
out of sync.
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 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.
