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! :^)
These guys are all declared as globals, and their ASSERT_NOT_REACHED
in the destructor doesn't play nice with __cxa_atexit. As in, every
application will assert in __cxa_finalize if this assert isn't removed.
This patch enables basic drag&drop between applications.
You initiate a drag by creating a GDragOperation object and calling
exec() on it. This creates a nested event loop in the calling program
that only returns once the drag operation has ended.
On the receiving side, you get a call to GWidget::drop_event() with
a GDropEvent containing information about the dropped data.
The only data passed right now is a piece of text that's also used
to visually indicate that a drag is happening (by showing the text in
a little box that follows the mouse cursor around.)
There are things to fix here, but we're off to a nice start. :^)
To protect the layout system from negative input values, we were using
an empty Rect() whenever an empty rect (width/height <= 0) was provided
to set_relative_rect().
This caused Terminal's scrollbar code to fail, since it relies on first
setting only the scrollbar width on startup, and then setting up the
proper geometry in response to the initial resize event.
Fixes#753.
You can now register a GWidget subclass with REGISTER_GWIDGET(class)
and it will be available for factory construction through the new
GWidgetClassRegistration interface.
To obtain a GWidgetClassRegistration for a given class name, you call
GWidgetClassRegistration::find(class_name). You can also iterate over
all the registered classes using GWCR::for_each(callback).
This will be very useful for implementing a proper GUI designer, and
also in the future for things like script bindings.
NOTE: All of the registrations are done in GWidget.cpp at the moment
since I ran into trouble with the fricken linker pruning the global
constructors this mechanism relies on. :^)
When adding a widget to a parent, you don't always want to append it to
the set of existing children, but instead insert it before one of them.
This patch makes that possible by adding CObject::insert_child_before()
which also produces a ChildAdded event with an additional before_child
pointer. This pointer is then used by GWidget to make sure that any
layout present maintains the correct order. (Without doing that, newly
added children would still be appended into the layout order, despite
having a different widget sibling order.)
Instead of only doing a relayout in the widget you're invalidating,
we now do a recursive top-down relayout so everything gets updated.
This fixes invalid results after updating a preferred size in some
situations with nested layouts.
This could happen if a child was added to a GTabWidget before the
GTabWidget had its first layout.
Also add an assertion to catch this in GWidget::set_relative_rect()
since it was not immediately obvious what was happening.
Okay, I've spent a whole day on this now, and it finally kinda works!
With this patch, CObject and all of its derived classes are reference
counted instead of tree-owned.
The previous, Qt-like model was nice and familiar, but ultimately also
outdated and difficult to reason about.
CObject-derived types should now be stored in RefPtr/NonnullRefPtr and
each class can be constructed using the forwarding construct() helper:
auto widget = GWidget::construct(parent_widget);
Note that construct() simply forwards all arguments to an existing
constructor. It is inserted into each class by the C_OBJECT macro,
see CObject.h to understand how that works.
CObject::delete_later() disappears in this patch, as there is no longer
a single logical owner of a CObject.
With this patch, CEvents no longer stop at the target object, but will
bubble up the ancestor chain as long as CEvent::is_accepted() is false.
To the set accepted flag, call CEvent::accept().
To clear the accepted flag, call CEvent::ignore().
Events start out in the accepted state, so if you want them to bubble
up, you have to call ignore() on them.
Using this mechanism, we now ignore non-tabbing keydown events in
GWidget, causing them to bubble up through the widget's ancestors. :^)
Normally if a GWidget has the is_greedy_for_hits() flag set, all hit
tests will hit the widget itself instead of its descendants.
Sometimes it may be desirable to override this behavior, and so this
flag now allows you to do that.
This solves an issue in GScrollableWidget where hiding one of the two
scrollbars needs to trigger a relayout since the other one should grow
into the "shared space" in the bottom right corner.
A GWidget can now override custom_layout() which will be called at any
time we would normally delegate work to the GLayout, e.g on resize
or child visibility changes, size policy changes, etc.
Instead of LibGUI and WindowServer building their own copies of the drawing
and graphics code, let's it in a separate LibDraw library.
This avoids building the code twice, and will encourage better separation
of concerns. :^)
