Andreas Kling 0bac2ad3b3 WebContent: Allow the WebContent process to trigger repaints
After layout, we may want to repaint the page, so we now listen for the
PageClient::page_did_invalidate() notification and use it to drive a
client-side repaint.

Note that an invalidation request from LibWeb makes a full roundtrip
to the WebContent client and back since the client drives painting.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Travis CI status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
