Without this change, when the mouse starts hovering over a child widget,
the parent would receive a Leave event despite the parent widget not
losing mouse hover.
Instead of crashing when we can't make the back buffer non-volatile,
we now transition the window into single-buffered mode instead
(assuming it was originally in double-buffered mode.)
This reduces GUI fidelity a bit (by potentially making windows flicker
during repaint) but since it's only triggered in low-memory conditions,
it seems like a reasonable thing to sacrifice in order for the system
to carry on.
This patch also stops us from allocating entirely new backing stores
after the old ones were purged. If they were purged but reallocated
just fine, there's no need to allocate new memory again. We already
have fresh zero-filled pages in the existing bitmap at this point.
Making a bitmap non-volatile after being volatile may fail to allocate
physical pages after the kernel stole the old pages in a purge.
This is different from the pages being purged, but reallocated. In that
case, they are simply replaced with zero-fill-on-demand pages as if
they were freshly allocated.
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. :^)
Window::set_maximized requires non-zero window id to be a valid call,
i.e. calling Window::show beforehand. A verify statement before the
server call can help developers by hinting correct usage.
* LibGUI: Verify m_window_id is not-zero in set_maximized
Window::set_maximized requires non-zero window id to be a valid call,
i.e. calling Window::show beforehand. A verify statement before the
server call can help developers by hinting correct usage.
* LibGUI: Paint background when the fullscreen window is transparent
The windows in the background are ignored when the window is fullscreen.
However, we still would like to see the background if that window is
transparent.
* Userland: Add ability to capture rectangular region in shot
A click and drag selectable, transparent, fullscreen window is
displayed with the command line argument -r for screenshots.
The only remaining sync call from client to server is now the call
that switches a window's backing store. That one actually relies on
the synchronization to hand over ownership of the backing stores,
so it has to stay synchronous for now.
This fixes the build by hiding the problem from the compiler, but it's
a useful change in and of itself anyway.
A malloc/free per every mouse event is pretty annoying, especially when
we can actually avoid it.
The launch_origin_rect parameter to create_window() specifies where on
screen the window was launched from. It's optional, but if you provide
it, the new window will have a short wireframe animation from the origin
to the initial window frame rect.
GUI::Window looks for the "__libgui_launch_origin_rect" environment
variable. Put your launch origin rect in there with the format
"<x>,<y>,<width>,<height>" and the first GUI::Window shown by the app
will use that as the launch origin rect.
Also it looks pretty neat, although I'm sure we can improve it. :^)
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.
Let clients manage their own window ID's. If you try to create a new
window with an existing ID, WindowServer will simply disconnect you
for misbehaving.
This removes the need for window creation to be synchronous, which
means that most GUI applications can now batch their entire GUI
initialization sequence without having to block waiting for responses.
Previous to this commit, if a `Window` wanted to set its width or height
greater than `INT16_MAX` (32768), both the application owning the Window
and the WindowServer would crash.
The root of this issue is that `size_would_overflow` check in `Bitmap`
has checks for `INT16_MAX`, and `Window.cpp:786` that is called by
`Gfx::Bitmap::create_with_anonymous_buffer` would get null back, then
causing a chain of events resulting in crashes.
Crashes can still occur but with `VERIFY` and `did_misbehave` the
causes of the crash can be more readily identified.
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.
Instead of using a low-level, proprietary API inside LibGfx, let's use
Core::AnonymousBuffer which already abstracts anon_fd and offers a
higher-level API too.
Reapply the app icon if the we are coming back from "frameless" mode.
This will re-initialize the icon representing the app in the task bar,
instead of displaying the default application icon.
This bug was visible in "Cube Demo" as well as the "Analog Clock".
Most of the IPC that happens between clients and WindowServer when
creating and configuring windows can be asynchronous. This further
reduces the amount of ping-ponging played during application startup.
Creating a menu/menubar needs to be synchronous because we need the
ID from the response, but adding stuff *to* menus (and adding menus
to menubars, and menubars to windows) can all be asynchronous.
This dramatically reduces the amount of IPC ping-pong played by
each GUI application during startup.
I measured how long it takes TextEditor to enter the main event loop
and it's over 10% faster here. (Down from ~86ms to ~74ms)
This changes client methods so that they return the IPC response's
return value directly - instead of the response struct - for IPC
methods which only have a single return value.
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.
Since input events may trigger window portions to be invalidated,
rather than making a round trip to WindowServer to get paint events
we can simply fake an immediate paint event and update the window
contents more quickly.

The previous names (RGBA32 and RGB32) were misleading since that's not
the actual byte order in memory. The new names reflect exactly how the
color values get laid out in bitmap data.
