GApplication now has a palette. This palette contains all the system
theme colors by default, and is inherited by a new top-level GWidget.
New child widgets inherit their parents palette.
It is possible to override the GApplication palette, and the palette
of any GWidget.
The Palette object contains a bunch of colors, each corresponding to
a ColorRole. Each role has a convenience getter as well.
Each GWidget now has a background_role() and foreground_role(), which
are then looked up in their current palette when painting. This means
that you no longer alter the background color of a widget by setting
it directly, rather you alter either its background role, or the
widget's palette.
Color themes are loaded from .ini files in /res/themes/
The theme can be switched from the "Themes" section in the system menu.
The basic mechanism is that WindowServer broadcasts a SharedBuffer with
all of the color values of the current theme. Clients receive this with
the response to their initial WindowServer::Greet handshake.
When the theme is changed, WindowServer tells everyone by sending out
an UpdateSystemTheme message with a new SharedBuffer to use.
This does feel somewhat bloated somehow, but I'm sure we can iterate on
it over time and improve things.
To get one of the theme colors, use the Color(SystemColor) constructor:
painter.fill_rect(rect, SystemColor::HoverHighlight);
Some things don't work 100% right without a reboot. Specifically, when
constructing a GWidget, it will set its own background and foreground
colors based on the current SystemColor::Window and SystemColor::Text.
The widget is then stuck with these values, and they don't update on
system theme change, only on app restart.
All in all though, this is pretty cool. Merry Christmas! :^)
This logic is all taken care of by GAbstractColumnView now, so we can
simply delete GTreeView::context_menu_event(). :^)
Fixes an issue mentioned in #826
This makes GTreeView able to support multi-column models!
Only one column can be the "tree column", this is column 0 by default
but can be changed by overriding GModel::tree_column().
When the filesystem model is updated, it is rebuilt. This means dangling
indexes inside the TreeView metadata table will have old information and random
directories will toggle open. Clearing the table alleviates this issue.
GTreeView was forgetting to call to base in did_update_selection().
This prevented GAbstractView from firing the on_selection hook and we
ended up with only the on_selection_change hook firing.
Previously it was only possible to have a single root-level item in a
GTreeView. This was an oversight and I didn't realize it because this
code was only ever used in the FileManager, which has one root ("/").
Also factored out item toggling into a separate function, and increase
the base indentation level so that root items can be toggled as well.
Finally, let the user toggle the selected item with the spacebar. :^)
