and the CaptureInput mode. They are a source of unneeded complexity
in WindowServer and have proven prone to regressions, so this patch
replaces them with a simple input preemption scheme using Popups.
Popup windows now have ergonomics similar to menus: When open,
a popup preempts all mouse and key events for the entire window
stack; however, they are fragile and will close after WindowServer
swallows the first event outside them. This is similar to how combo
box windows and popups work in the classic Windows DE and has the
added benefit of letting the user click anywhere to dismiss a popup
without having to worry about unwanted interactions with other
widgets.
with WindowInput{Preempted,Restored} Events and allow Widgets to save
the state of their focus preemption. As of now, only Popups will
preempt input and trigger these events.
This is done by adding a new window type (Popup) and using it for the
combobox list window. Other incorrect uses of the Tooltip window type
have also been updated to use the new window type.
The hot-spots for resizing a window by dragging its corner are now
limited to a small area around the actual corner instead of an area with
1/3rd the length or width of the window.
The hot-spots to resize a window while holding a modifier key and the
right mouse button are unchanged.
Previously Menus set themselves as active input solely to make
sure CaptureInput modals would close, but this is a functional
half-truth. Menus don't actually use the active input role; they
preempt normal Windows during event handling instead.
Now the active input window is notified on preemption and Menus
can remain outside the active input concept. This lets us make
more granular choices about modal behavior. For now, the only
thing clients care about is menu preemption on popup.
Fixes windows which close on changes to active input closing
on their own context menus.
This was too restrictive and there are already UI elements that rely
on this behavior. Now Blocking modals will preempt interaction with
all windows in their modal chain except those descending from them.
Fixes crashing in FilePicker when permission is denied.
Refactors restore helper into move_to_front_and_make_active().
Fixes not bringing all modal children to the front when any modal
child or its modeless parent is clicked.
And apply modal effects on move_to_front_and_make_active()
Instead of building a vector of windows every time we want to
loop over a group of related modals, simply recurse through
their ancestory. This lineage is now called a modal chain. Modal
chains begin at the first modeless parent, and a new chain
starts at every modeless child. This lets apps spawn child windows
independent of the main window's modal effects, restore state,
and workspace, yet still remain descendants.
Looping through a modal chain is recursive and includes the
modeless window which begins it.
with the CaptureInput WindowMode. This mode will serve the same
function as accessories: redirecting input while allowing parent
windows to remain active.
with the RenderAbove WindowMode. This mode will ensure child
windows always draw above their parents, even when focus is lost.
RenderAbove modals are automatically themed the same as the old
ToolWindows. Fixes ToolWindows rendering above ALL normal windows,
regardless of parent. We can't rely on WindowType to create these
sort of effects because of WindowManager's strict display hierarchy.
Previously, Windows only understood blocking modality: Windows were
either modal, i.e., in a blocking state, or not. Windows could also
be set as Accessories or ToolWindows, attributes which technically
applied modes to their parents but were implemented ad hoc. This patch
redefines these modal effects as WindowModes and sets up some helpers.
This will let us simplify a lot of modal logic in the upcoming patches
and make it easier to build new modal effects in the future.
Windows can now set 1 of 5 modes before reification:
-Modeless: No modal effect; begins a new modal chain
-Passive: Window joins its modal chain but has no effect
-RenderAbove: Window renders above its parent
-CaptureInput: Window captures the active input role from its parent
-Blocking: Window blocks all interaction with its modal chain
States like fullscreen and tiling are dynamic and don't alter behavior
in modal chains, so they aren't included.
Adds a member to record the last processed mouse buttons. If they
do not include MouseButton::Primary, return early before creating
a new drag and drop client. This fixes race conditions in which
MouseUp events canceling or completing a drop could be swallowed
by Overlay creation or postponed by an executing DragOperation,
leaving the operation in limbo.
SystemEffects are sent to the WindowManager through
set_system_effects() and broadcast to Desktop clients with
update_system_effects(). WindowManager is reponsible for saving,
loading and rebroadcasting effects from WindowServer.ini on
config changes.
Rather than enabling/disabling cursor highlighting by going into mouse
settings, you can now instead toggle it any time with Super+H. Mouse
settings now is only for customising the look of the highlighting.
With this change you can now set the theme and background color at the
same time in the Display Settings. Before if both were changed
before hitting 'apply' the theme background color would overwrite
the custom background.
This adds a keyboard event for Super+0 to Super+9. Later to be consumed
in the taskbar.
Currently only this keyboard sequence is supported:
- Super key down
- Digit key down
But not this:
- Super key down
- Digit key down
- Digit key up
- Digit key down
Calculating tiled and miximized window frame have a lot in common. In
fact, we can look at maximized window state as a special case of the
tile type. It simplifies the code since there is a lot of cases when
we take an action only if the window is maximized or tiled.
Previously windows would end up in awkward positions relative to
the move cursor when dragging between tile types or unmaximizing.
This feels a bit more ergonomic.
...to reevaluate_hover_state_for_window(). This name is not super great
either, but at least it doesn't sound like the window is necessarily
currently being hovered.
Derivatives of Core::Object should be constructed through
ClassName::construct(), to avoid handling ref-counted objects with
refcount zero. Fixing the visibility means that misuses like this are
more difficult.
This commit is separate from the other Servives changes because it
required additional adaption of the code. Note that the old code did
precisely what these changes try to prevent: Create and handle a
ref-counted object with a refcount of zero.

Add option to reverse primary and secondary buttons in Mouse Settings.
- WindowServer.ini: add default entry
- switch-mouse-buttons.png: new icon for settings entry
- Mouse.gml/MouseWidget.*: new settings dialog
- ClientConnection/WindowManager/Server: window message for settings
- EventLoop.cpp: swap buttons 1 and 2 if settings are on
There are a few places in the system where this could be useful,
such as PixelPaint and the MandelBrot demo. It seems general enough
that it is probably useful to have it as a system-wide cursor rather
than loading it manually each time.
This can be used immediately in PixelPaint (separate commit), but
I am adding this as a system-wide cursor since it may also be useful
for other applications that want to use it.
Now you can specify a CursorTheme key in /etc/WindowServer.ini. The
cursors are loaded from /res/cursor-themes/<name> directory. This
directory contains a Config.ini file with format similar to previous
Cursor section, except it uses relative paths.
This commit adds also Default theme, which uses cursors being
previously in /res/cursors.
The WidgetGallery is updated to match the new cursor path format.
Currently, any number of menubars can be plugged in and out of a window.
This is unnecessary complexity, since we only need one menubar on a
window. This commit removes most of the logic for dynamically attaching
and detaching menubars and makes one menubar always available. The
menubar is only considered existent if it has at least a single menu in
it (in other words, an empty menubar will not be shown).
This commit additionally fixes a bug wherein menus added after a menubar
has been attached would not have their rects properly setup, and would
therefore appear glitched out on the top left corner of the menubar.
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.
