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. :^)
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 :^)
This is really cool! :^)
Apps currently refuse to start if the WindowServer isn't listening on the
socket in /wsportal. This makes sense, but I guess it would also be nice
to have some sort of "wait for server on startup" mode.
This has performance issues, and I'll work on those, but this stuff seems
to actually work and I'm very happy with that.
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.
Since we know who's holding the lock, and we're gonna have to yield anyway,
we can just ask the scheduler to donate any remaining ticks to that process.
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.
Work now happens in terms of two messages:
- WM_ClientWantsToPaint
- WM_ClientFinishedPaint
This feels fairly obvious compared to the old Paint/Invalidate.
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.
