Cooperate with the compiler to generate and execute the _init_array list
of constructor functions on userspace program statup. This took two days
to get working, my goodness. :^)
This is a convenience helper to instantiate a GIcon like so:
auto icon = GIcon::default_icon("filetype-image");
This will give you the "filetype-image" icon in both 16x16 and 32x32 sizes.
This patch adds a simple GMessageBox that can run in a nested event loop.
Here's how you use it:
GMessageBox box("Message text here", "Message window title");
int result = box.exec();
The next step is to make the WindowServer respect the modality flag of
these windows and prevent interaction with other windows in the same
process until the modal window has been closed.
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. :^)
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.
