This way GWindow doesn't need to do synchronous IPC to fetch the appropriate
size for the window's backing store. This is mostly only relevant during
live resize.
Use this to implement incremental resizing for Terminal so that we only
ever resize to fit a perfect number of rows and columns.
This is very nice. :^)
Windows now learn when the mouse cursor leaves or enters them.
Use this to implement GWidget::{enter,leave}_event() and use that
to implement the CoolBar button effect. :^)
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. :^)
These functions don't exit immediately, but rather on the next iteration
of the event loop.
Since exit() is already used by the standard library, let's call it quit()
instead. That way, saying exit() means the same thing here as anywhere else.
To facilitate listening for action on arbitrary file descriptors,
I've added a GNotifier class. It's quite simple but very useful:
GNotifier notifier(fd, GNotifier::Read);
notifier.on_ready_to_read = [this] (GNotifier& fd) {
// read from fd or whatever else you like :^)
};
The callback will get invoked by GEventLoop when select() says we
have something to read on the fd.
Clicking the button generates a WindowCloseRequest event which the client app
then has to deal with. The default behavior for GWindow is to close() itself.
I also added a flag, GWindow::should_exit_event_loop_on_close() which does
what it sounds like it does.
This patch exposed some bugs in GWindow and GWidget teardown.
Instead of clients painting whenever they feel like it, we now ask that they
paint in response to a paint message.
After finishing painting, clients notify the WindowServer about the rect(s)
they painted into and then flush eventually happens, etc.
This stuff leaves us with a lot of badly named things. Need to fix that.
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.
There is some trouble here with the asynchronous nature of WindowServer
and the single per-window backing store we're drawing into. If we start
repainting a widget with a pending invalidation, that invalidation might
get flushed by the WindowServer mid-paint.
