WindowServer was led to believe that the Terminal window had an alpha
channel that had to be respected by the compositor. This caused us to
always consider it as non-opaque when culling dirty rects in compose.
This needs to be applied consistently in the rest of this UI, but here
is a start. I can't figure out what the right look should be right now
so I'm just gonna commit it this way and we'll work it out later. :^)
This optimization was broken since who-knows-when. Now we once again do
our best to only repaint the lines that had the "dirty" flag set.
This dramatically reduces the amount of work done by an idle Terminal
since the cursor blinking won't redraw the whole window anymore. :^)
Now that we're bringing back the in-kernel virtual console, we should
move towards having a single implementation of terminal emulation.
This patch rips out the emulation code from the Terminal application
and turns it into the beginnings of LibVT.
The basic design idea is that users of VT::Terminal will implement and
provide a VT::TerminalClient subclass to handle presentation-specific
things. We'll need to iterate on this, but it's a start. :^)
Now there's just CHttpRequest::set_url(URL), no need to specify the
host, port and path manually anymore.
Updated ChanViewer and Downloader for the API change.
Change the custom data massaging callback to take a const JsonObject&.
This will allow binding together data from multiple fields into one
output in the model. :^)
This broke due to a change in JsonValue API. JsonValue::to_string() now
returns the value serialized to a string, which may become "undefined".
You kinda want JsonValue::as_string(), but that is only callable when
the JsonValue *is* a string. Thankfully there is now as_string_or(alt).
GWindow::~GWindow() deletes the main widget, assuming it was
allocated with new; this is what all other applications do,
so heap-allocate the terminal widget as well even though it's
not necessary in this case.
This was really straightforward since all the necessary pieces were
already in place. This patch just passes a bold font to draw_glyphs()
for buffer cells with the bold attribute set. :^)
Fork the IPC Connection classes into Server:: and Client::ConnectionNG.
The new IPC messages are serialized very snugly instead of using the
same generic data structure for all messages.
Remove ASAPI.h since we now generate all of it from AudioServer.ipc :^)
- "seekable": whether the fd is seekable or sequential.
- "class": which kernel C++ class implements this File.
- "offset": the current implicit POSIX API file offset.
This API was returning a "const char*" and it was unclear who took care
of the underlying memory. Returning a String makes that obvious.
Also make sure we close the /etc/passwd file when we're done with it.
FileManager used to open up with the root directory loaded by default.
Now it will try to load either 1) the first argument specified on the
command line, 2) the user's home directory, or 3) the root directory.
Fixes#389
Processes can now have an icon assigned, which is essentially a 16x16 RGBA32
bitmap exposed as a shared buffer ID.
You set the icon ID by calling set_process_icon(int) and the icon ID will be
exposed through /proc/all.
To make this work, I added a mechanism for making shared buffers globally
accessible. For safety reasons, each app seals the icon buffer before making
it global.
Right now the first call to GWindow::set_icon() is what determines the
process icon. We'll probably change this in the future. :^)
Now that we can set icons directly "by bitmap", there's no need for passing
around the icon paths anymore, so get rid of all the IPC and API related
to that. :^)
Now that we support more than 2 clients per shared buffer, we can use them
for window icons. I didn't do that previously since it would have made the
Taskbar process unable to access the icons.
This opens up some nice possibilities for programmatically generated icons.
Thanks to Dan for pointing this out on IRC:
<danboid> I see TextEditor still numbers its lines from 0. You're too much of a programmer sometimes kling! :)
< kling> that might be the most extreme form of "programmer design" I've seen in serenity
