GApplication now has a palette. This palette contains all the system
theme colors by default, and is inherited by a new top-level GWidget.
New child widgets inherit their parents palette.
It is possible to override the GApplication palette, and the palette
of any GWidget.
The Palette object contains a bunch of colors, each corresponding to
a ColorRole. Each role has a convenience getter as well.
Each GWidget now has a background_role() and foreground_role(), which
are then looked up in their current palette when painting. This means
that you no longer alter the background color of a widget by setting
it directly, rather you alter either its background role, or the
widget's palette.
Now cal is able to print the entire year when only that is passed
as an argument. For example: `cal 1992`.
However this meant breaking the highlighted day escape sequence
as it messed up the layout and the character count for each of the
rows :(
Now the current day is specified like 17* (for example for day 17).
These scripts assume that they are called from within Kernel/ directory.
For convenience, set the current working directory in the scripts to the
path where they are located.
This allows us to use all the same fun memory protection features as the
rest of the system for ring0 processes. Previously a ring0 process could
over- or underrun its stack and nobody cared, since kmalloc_eternal is the
wild west of memory.
Color themes are loaded from .ini files in /res/themes/
The theme can be switched from the "Themes" section in the system menu.
The basic mechanism is that WindowServer broadcasts a SharedBuffer with
all of the color values of the current theme. Clients receive this with
the response to their initial WindowServer::Greet handshake.
When the theme is changed, WindowServer tells everyone by sending out
an UpdateSystemTheme message with a new SharedBuffer to use.
This does feel somewhat bloated somehow, but I'm sure we can iterate on
it over time and improve things.
To get one of the theme colors, use the Color(SystemColor) constructor:
painter.fill_rect(rect, SystemColor::HoverHighlight);
Some things don't work 100% right without a reboot. Specifically, when
constructing a GWidget, it will set its own background and foreground
colors based on the current SystemColor::Window and SystemColor::Text.
The widget is then stuck with these values, and they don't update on
system theme change, only on app restart.
All in all though, this is pretty cool. Merry Christmas! :^)
m_roll_notes[] is an array of 2 bools, pressed and playing. A roll note
is highlighted if it is pressed or in the currently playing column, but
the note is only actually played if the roll note is both pressed and
playing.
We change columns every m_tick which is currently 10 frames. The delay
is synchronised with this. change_roll_column() tracks the previous
column and current column to be played. Each roll note in the previous
column is set to "not playing" and the underlying audio note is turned
off if it was pressed. For the current column, each roll note is set to
playing and the underlying audio note is turned on if pressed.
Rather than checking key codes and mouse positions, we should have a
more general way to play notes. You can call note() either with a
KeyCode or a PianoKey directly.
Additionally, m_note_on[] is now an array of integers instead of bools.
This allows multiple sources to play a note. This is kind of like a
"reference counted note": two sources can increment the note and it will
only turn off once they have both decremented it back to 0.
We are now only using keys[] to prevent multiple consecutive calls to
keydown_event() (when a key is held), since that would result in playing
a note many times.
When running ./package.sh to rebuild an already installed port, we would not
want to spend time re-downlodaing the same tarball again. Ideally, this should
use some sort of hash checking to ensure the file is not truncated or something,
but this is good enough for now.
