Instead of reattaching to the shared buffer on every flip, keep a reference
to the last seen backing store GraphicsBitmap. This way we can simply
swap the two last buffers when a flip happens.
This does increase memory consumption in apps that disable double-buffering
but I'll address that issue separately.
The icons show up both in the title bars and in the window switcher.
Eventually I'd like to be able to minimize to icon, and maybe even have
myself a taskbar.
This needs some work on the window ordering and things like that, but it
works quite nicely as a starting point.
The keyboard shortcut is Logo+Tab. :^)
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. :^)
Wait for them to finish a paint, then send them a new resize event.
The exception is when releasing the mouse button to end the resize.
Then we send a new resize event right away.
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. :^)
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 start painting, call:
gui$get_window_backing_store()
Then finish up with:
gui$release_window_backing_store()
Process will retain the underlying GraphicsBitmap behind the scenes.
This fixes racing between the WindowServer and GUI clients.
This patch also adds a WSWindowLocker that is exactly what it sounds like.
