We now show a quick window outline animation when going in/out of
minimized state. It's a simple 10 frame animation at 60fps, just to
give a visual cue of what's happening with the window.
The Taskbar sends over the corresponding button rect for each window
to the WindowServer using a new WM_SetWindowTaskbarRect message.
Note that when unminimizing, we still *show* the window right away,
and don't hold off until the animation has finished. This avoids
making the desktop feel slow/sluggish. :^)
This patch introduces code generation for the WindowServer IPC with
its clients. The client/server endpoints are defined by the two .ipc
files in Servers/WindowServer/: WindowServer.ipc and WindowClient.ipc
It now becomes significantly easier to add features and capabilities
to WindowServer since you don't have to know nearly as much about all
the intricate paths that IPC messages take between LibGUI and WSWindow.
The new system also uses significantly less IPC bandwidth since we're
now doing packed serialization instead of passing fixed-sized structs
of ~600 bytes for each message.
Some repaint coalescing optimizations are lost in this conversion and
we'll need to look at how to implement those in the new world.
The old CoreIPC::Client::Connection and CoreIPC::Server::Connection
classes are removed by this patch and replaced by use of ConnectionNG,
which will be renamed eventually.
Goodbye, old WindowServer IPC. You served us well :^)
This was a mistake, of course. Nested event loops don't need (or want)
independent server connections.
We initialize the connection early in GEventLoop for e.g. users that
want to get the size of a GDesktop before the connection has been
established.
Bug noticed by Andreas, introduced by me ;-)
As a consequence, move to use an explicit handshake() method rather than
calling virtuals from the constructor. This seemed to not bother
AClientConnection, but LibGUI crashes (rightfully) because of it.
Taskbar now simply asks the WindowServer to popup a window menu when right
clicking on a taskbar button.
This patch also implements the "close" menu item, and furthermore makes the
window menu show up when you left-click a window's titlebar icon. :^)
