This patch adds the concept of a window being "Pinnable" (always drawn
on top of other windows). This can be toggled through a new checkable
action in the top left corner's window menu.
Differentiates between normal minimization and hidden windows. A window
which is hidden is still minimized, but can be seen as another stage
of being minimized.
This also adds the ability to query how many virtual desktops are
set up, and for the Taskbar to be notified when the active virtual
desktop has changed.
This creates a 2-dimensional array of WindowStack instances, one for
each virtual desktop. The main desktop 0,0 is the main desktop, which
is the desktop used for all stationary windows (e.g. taskbar, desktop).
When adding windows to a desktop, stationary windows are always added
to the main desktop.
When composing the desktop, there are usually two WindowStacks
involved. For stationary windows, the main desktop will be traversed,
and for everything else the current virtual desktop will be iterated.
Iteration is interweaved to preserve the correct order. During the
transition animation, two WindowStacks will be iterated at the same
time.
To make Assistant useful we need a way to quickly trigger it. I've
added a new specialized event coming from the window server for when a
user is holding down 'Super' and hits 'Space'.
The Taskbar will be able to listen for this event and spawn a new
instance of the Assistant if it's not already running.
An Overlay is similar to a transparent window, but has less overhead
and does not get rendered within the window stack. Basically, the area
that an Overlay occupies forces transparency rendering for any window
underneath, which allows us to render them flicker-free.
This also adds a new API that allows displaying the screen numbers,
e.g. while the user configures the screen layout in DisplaySettings
Because other things like drag&drop or the window-size label are not
yet converted to use this new mechanism, they will be drawn over the
screen-number currently.
This enables rendering of mixed-scale screen layouts with e.g. high
resolution cursors and window button icons on high-dpi screens while
using lower resolution bitmaps on regular screens.
This sets the stage so that DisplaySettings can configure the screen
layout and set various screen resolutions in one go. It also allows
for an easy "atomic" revert of the previous settings.
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.
Some paths of the mouse event processing code will upgrade the event
from a regular MouseDown to a MouseDoubleClick. That's why we were
passing `MouseEvent&` everywhere.
For the paths that don't need to do this, passing `MouseEvent const&`
reduces the cognitive burden a bit, so let's do that.
Instead of plumbing a Window* through the entire mouse event processing
logic, just do a hit test and say that the window under the cursor is
the hovered window.
It's funny how much easier this is now that we have a way to hit test
the entire window stack with one call.
Move the logic for processing a mouse event that hits a specific window
into its own function.
If the window is blocked by a modal child, we now get that out of the
way first, so we don't have to think about it later.
The button widgets internally rendered by WindowServer are only used
in titlebars, and require a bit of mouse event handling. Instead of
mixing it with the window-oriented mouse event handling, get the
button event stuff out of the way first.
If a window is currently actively tracking input events (because
sent it a MouseDown and haven't sent it a MouseUp yet), we now simply
send mouse events to that window right away before doing any other
event processing.
This makes it much easier to reason about mouse events.
This patch moves the window stack out of WindowManager and into its own
WindowStack class.
A WindowStack is an ordered list of windows with an optional highlight
window. The highlight window mechanism is used during Super+Tab window
switching to temporarily bring a window to the front.
This is mostly mechanical, just moving the code to its own class.
This patch adds a set_system_fonts() IPC API that takes the two main
font queries as parameters. We'll probably expand this with additional
queries when we figure out what they should be.
Note that changing the system fonts on a live system mostly takes
effect in newly launched programs. This is because GUI::Widget will
currently cache a pointer to the Gfx::FontDatabase::default_font()
when first constructed. This is something we'll have to fix somehow.
Also note that the settings are not yet persisted.
Also update the window switcher for good measure. The window switcher
doesn't visualize this information at the moment, but we generally do
this when any window state changes.

This commit adds an event called WM_SuperKeyPressed which is sent to all
windows via WindowManagerServerConnection.
The event is fired from WindowManager when the super key is pressed,
which is the windows key on most keyboards :)
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. :^)
This adds a double-click speed slider control to the Mouse Settings
panel, and value labels for both the movement speed and double-click
speed sliders.
To allow for updating and persisting the configured double-click
speed through the WindowServer, two IPC calls - `SetDoubleClickSpeed`
and `GetDoubleClickSpeed` - have been added.
WindowServer now collects applet windows into an "applet area" which is
really just a window that a WM (window management) client can position
via IPC.
This is rather hackish, and I think we should come up with a better
architecture eventually, but this brings back the missing applets since
the global menu where they used to live is gone.
This leaves menu applets running but invisible, and that's a regression
we need to take care of obviously. But not today, because it's getting
too late.
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.
A window repaint may change the alpha value, resulting in a different
hit test outcome. In those cases, re-evaluate the cursor hit testing
after a window was painted, and update the cursor if needed.
Tool windows are secondary windows with a smaller title bar. The sit on
the layer above normal windows, and cannot be minimized.
These are intended for complex yet non-modal interactions with the
content of a primary window, such as find/replace windows, property
windows, etc.
We need to first deliver the mouse event and possibly the double click
event and record these facts. Then, we need to iterate all global
tracking listeners and deliver the mouse event (but not the double
click event) to any such listener, unless they already had these
events delivered.
Fixes#4703
Bitmap::load_from_file("foo.png", 2) will now look for "foo-2x.png" and
try load that as a bitmap with scale factor 2 if it exists. If it
doesn't, it falls back to the 1x bitmap as normal.
Only places that know that they'll draw the bitmap to a 2x painter
should pass "2" for the second argument.
Use this new API in WindowServer for loading window buttons and
cursors.
As a testing aid, ctrl-shift-super-i can force HighDPI icons off in
HighDPI mode. Toggling between low-res and high-res icons makes it easy
to see if the high-res version of an icon looks right: It should look
like the low-res version, just less jaggy.
We'll likely have to grow a better API for loading scaled resources, but
for now this suffices.
Things to check:
- `chres 640 480` followed by `chres 640 480 2` followed by
`chres 640 480`
- window buttons in window context menu (in task bar and on title bar)
still have low-res icons
- ctrl-shift-super-i in high-res mode toggles sharpness of window
buttons and of arrow cursorf
- arrow cursor hotspot is still where you'd expect
Now, `chres 640 480 2` can set the UI to HighDPI 640x480 at runtime. A
real GUI for changing the display factor will come later.
(`chres 640 480 2` followed by `chres 1280 960` is very fast since
we don't have to re-allocate the framebuffer since both modes use
the exact same number of physical pixels.)
