Previously, GUI::Window::is_maximized() had to make a synchronous IPC
request to WindowServer in order to find out if the window was indeed
maximized.
This patch removes the need for synchronous IPC by instead pushing the
maximization state to clients when it changes.
The motivation for this change was that GUI::Statusbar was checking
if the containing window was maximized in its resize_event(), causing
all windows with a statusbar to block on sync IPC *during* resize.
Browser would typically block for ~15 milliseconds here every time
on my machine, continuously during live resize.
This is useful, for instance, in games in which you can switch held
items using the scroll wheel. In order to implement this, they
previously would have to either add a hard-coded division by 4, or look
up your mouse settings to adjust correctly.
This commit adds an MouseEvent.wheel_raw_delta_x() and
MouseEvent.wheel_raw_delta_y().
Briefly flash the menubar menu containing the keyboard shortcut action
to give the user immediate visual feedback on their interaction with the
system.
This makes teardown faster since we don't have to wait for responses to
each destroy_window request. It also avoids doing IPC during teardown,
which is a general source of problems.
This patch removes a hack that forced any pending repaints to happen
immediately whenever you moved the mouse over a window.
The purpose of that mechanism was to ensure that quick button presses
still show up visually, and since that is now accomplished via
Widget::repaint(), we no longer need this.
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.
Only one place used this argument and it was to hold on to a strong ref
for the object. Since we already do that now, there's no need to keep
this argument around since this can be easily captured.
This commit contains no changes.
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.
This patchs adds a way for widgets exclude themselves from being a focus
candidate in Window::focus_a_widget_if_possible().
This is to allow the URL box to not get auto-focused when the browser
is loaded.
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.
This reverts commit cfc9ee6f16.
This change was wrong: The parent *does* lose hover when the mouse
cursor enters a child widget. Hover is not hierarchical, there is only a
hovered window and a hovered widget within that window.
This fixes an issue with GUI::TabWidget buttons appearing hovered
despite the mouse cursor not being over the buttons.
You can now see the outline of GUI widgets when hovering them.
For example:
$ export GUI_HOVER_DEBUG=1
$ FileManager
Then move the mouse around in the file manager. :^)
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

* 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.
