These bitmaps should only be used as a source bitmap, we won't support
painting into them using Painter. You can however manipulate the raw
pixel data. :^)
These use nearest neighbor and are computed synchronously on directory load
so it's neither fast nor very beautiful. These issues both need work on
other parts of the system to fix.
This patch also adds a Format concept to GraphicsBitmap. For now there are
only two formats: RGB32 and RGBA32. Windows with alpha channel have their
backing stores created in the RGBA32 format.
Use this to make Terminal windows semi-transparent for that comfy rice look.
There is one problem here, in that window compositing overdraw incurs
multiple passes of blending of the same pixels. This leads to a mismatch in
opacity which is obviously not good. I will work on this in a later patch.
The alpha blending is currently straight C++. It should be relatively easy
to optimize this using SSE instructions.
For now I'm just happy with the cute effect. :^)
This is a monster patch that required changing a whole bunch of things.
There are performance and stability issues all over the place, but it works.
Pretty cool, I have to admit :^)
I'm going with a global top-of-the-screen menu instead of per-window menus.
The basic idea is that menus will live in the WindowServer and clients can
create menus via WindowServer requests.
Let GButton have an optional icon (GraphicsBitmap) that gets rendered in the
middle of the button if present.
Also add GraphicsBitmap::load_from_file() which allows mmap'ed RGBA32 files.
I wrote a little program to take "raw" files from GIMP and swizzle them into
the correct byte order.
Use this to fix a use-after-free in ~GraphicsBitmap(). We'd hit this when
the WindowServer was doing a deferred destruction of a WSWindow whose
backing store referred to a now-reaped Process.
To start painting, call:
gui$get_window_backing_store()
Then finish up with:
gui$release_window_backing_store()
Process will retain the underlying GraphicsBitmap behind the scenes.
This fixes racing between the WindowServer and GUI clients.
This patch also adds a WSWindowLocker that is exactly what it sounds like.
