I'm eventually gonna want to replace this with something more clever,
like a automagically splicing vector or something, but for now, at least
we move away from immutable Strings.
Katica is now the default system font, and it looks quite nice. :^)
I'm gonna need to refine the GTextBox movement stuff eventually,
but it works well-enough for basic editing now.
Finally fixed the weird flaky crashing when resizing Terminal windows.
It was because we were dispatching a signal to "current" from the scheduler.
Yet another thing I dislike about even having a "current" process while
we're in the scheduler. Not sure yet how to fix this.
Let the signal handler's kernel stack be a kmalloc() allocation for now.
Once we can do allocation of consecutive physical pages in the supervisor
memory region, we can use that for all types of kernel stacks.
I wanted to do a bitmap font with an odd number of columns for a while
and I finally got around to it. This really looks rather nice, so I'm
making it the default system font for now. :^)
Use this to implement incremental resizing for Terminal so that we only
ever resize to fit a perfect number of rows and columns.
This is very nice. :^)
The algorithm I came up with is O(n^2) but given the small numbers of rects
we're typically working with, it doesn't really matter. May need to revisit
this in the future if we find ourselves with a huge number of rects.
This patch also adds a Format concept to GraphicsBitmap. For now there are
only two formats: RGB32 and RGBA32. Windows with alpha channel have their
backing stores created in the RGBA32 format.
Use this to make Terminal windows semi-transparent for that comfy rice look.
There is one problem here, in that window compositing overdraw incurs
multiple passes of blending of the same pixels. This leads to a mismatch in
opacity which is obviously not good. I will work on this in a later patch.
The alpha blending is currently straight C++. It should be relatively easy
to optimize this using SSE instructions.
For now I'm just happy with the cute effect. :^)
This mistake created an incredible amount of confusion. We would allocate
a slightly too small Painter on the stack and then invoke its constructor,
overwriting whatever came after it on the stack.
This is a monster patch that required changing a whole bunch of things.
There are performance and stability issues all over the place, but it works.
Pretty cool, I have to admit :^)
I'm going with a global top-of-the-screen menu instead of per-window menus.
The basic idea is that menus will live in the WindowServer and clients can
create menus via WindowServer requests.
To facilitate listening for action on arbitrary file descriptors,
I've added a GNotifier class. It's quite simple but very useful:
GNotifier notifier(fd, GNotifier::Read);
notifier.on_ready_to_read = [this] (GNotifier& fd) {
// read from fd or whatever else you like :^)
};
The callback will get invoked by GEventLoop when select() says we
have something to read on the fd.
My needs are really quite simple, so I'm just going to add what I need
as I go along. The first thing I needed was a simple box layout with
widgets being able to say whether they prefer fixed or fill for both
their vertical and horizontal sizes.
I also made a simple GStatusBar so FileManager can show how many bytes
worth of files are in the current directory.
This widget is far from finished, but it's off to a good start.
Also added a GResizeEvent and GWidget::resize_event() so that widgets
can react to being resized.
