In most situations, Widget::update() is preferable, since that allows us
to coalesce repaints and avoid redundant work, reducing system load.
However, there are some cases where you really want a paint to happen
right away, to make sure that the user has a chance to see a short-lived
visual state.
d0fb511d75 set the maximized window value
in the File Manager before a window was created, which resulted in crash
everytime you tried to open the program that was closed while it was
maximized. ugh
Here we do more-or-less what GUI::Window::set_rect() does, except we
don't add it to the WindowServer::create_window() IPC call.
That's because the Window Server knows nothing about menus at this
point and just assumes they don't need to be visible.
So if we try to maximize the window then, it could be slightly taller
and a titlebar could be hidden.
So even though it looks how it looks like, it does work and it doesn't
show in the startup size, as described in the mentioned commit (the call
is put a few lines before the initial update()). :^)
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.
Applets and windows would like to be able to know when the applet
area has been resized. For example, this happens asynchronously after
an applet has been resized, so we cannot then rely on the applet area
position synchronously after resizing. This adds a new message
applet_area_rect_changed and associated Event AppletAreaRectChange,
and the appropriate virtual functions.
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.
Applications previously had to create a GUI::Menubar object, add menus
to it, and then call GUI::Window::set_menubar().
This patch introduces GUI::Window::add_menu() which creates the menubar
automatically and adds items to it. Application code becomes slightly
simpler as a result. :^)
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.
When setting a Widget->set_visible(false), if that Widget->has_focus()
it will continue to have focus, even though it's not visible to the user
anymore.
Now calling Widget->set_visible(false) will remove focus from the Widget
if it had focus, and the Window will give focus back to the Widget
that had it previously, if there was one.
Previously <AK/Function.h> also included <AK/OwnPtr.h>. That's about to
change though. This patch fixes a few build problems that will occur
when that change happens.
This state lives in WindowServer and has no local copy in the client
process for now. This may turn out to be a performance issue, and if
it does we can easily cache it.

With this patch the window manager related functionality is split out
onto a new endpoint pair named WindowManagerServer/Client. This allows
window manager functionality to be potentially privilege separated in
the future. To this end, a new client named WMConnectionClient
is used to maintain a window manager connection. When a process
connects to the endpoint and greets the WindowServer as a window manager
(via Window::make_window_manager(int)), they're subscribed to the events
they requested via the WM event mask.
This patch also removes the hardcoding of the Taskbar WindowType to
receive WM events automatically. However, being a window manager still
requires having an active window, at the moment.
I hereby declare these to be full nouns that we don't split,
neither by space, nor by underscore:
- Breadcrumbbar
- Coolbar
- Menubar
- Progressbar
- Scrollbar
- Statusbar
- Taskbar
- Toolbar
This patch makes everything consistent by replacing every other variant
of these with the proper one. :^)
Having to rely on GUI::Desktop's on_rect_change is quite limiting and a
bit awkward (continuing to use it would mean having to setup the
callback in every application using a webview) - we need a better way of
letting widgets know of a screen rect change automatically.
The specific use case will be IPWV/OOPWV which need to keep track of the
screen rect and notify the WebContent service of any change (which on
its own deliberately can't interact with WindowServer at all).
It'll also be useful for notification windows and the taskbar, which
currently both rely on the GUI::Desktop callback but will now be able to
listen and react to the event themselves.
Since applet windows live in the applet area window, the AppletManager
has to keep track of which applet is hovered and send the appropriate
enter/leave events to the applet windows.
This makes applet tooltips work again. :^)
This patch begins the transition away from the global menu towards
per-window menus instead.
The global menu looks neat, but has always felt clunky, and there
are a number of usability problems with it, especially in programs
with multiple windows.
You can now call GUI::Window::set_menubar() to add a menubar to
your window. It will be specific to that one window only.
Minimum window size can now be customised and set at runtime via the
SetWindowMinimumSize WindowServer message and the set_minimum_size
LibGUI::Window method. The default minimum size remains at 50x50.
Some behind-the-scenes mechanics had to be added to LibGUI::Window to
ensure that the minimum size is remembered if set before the window is
shown. WindowServer sends a resize event to the client if it requests a
size on create that's smaller than it's minimum size.
The WM_* IPC messages are intended for "outsider" window management,
not for a client's own windows. Make a separate StartWindowResize
message for this.
This was the only reason that every IPC client had to know its server
side client ID.
Adds a mechanism through which windowing clients can re-request an
UpdateSystemTheme message. This is currently used in SystemMenu's
ShutdownDialog to refresh it's theme when the dialog is instantiated.
Instead of storing the back/front buffers of a GUI::Window as just
Gfx::Bitmap, wrap them in a WindowBackingStore class.
This will allow us to add more information alongside the bitmaps while
keeping the back/front swapping logic simple.
