This brings back the configuration for decoration plugins. As a change
to the old variant the configure button is moved into the list view
together with the preview. It is enabled/disabled depending on data
provided by the DecorationModel. For a plugin the DecorationModel
queries for a boolean "kcmodule" key in the metadata. For a theme it
invokes the slot hasConfiguration with the theme name which returns
whether the theme provides configuration.
The actual opening of the configuration is triggered from the
PreviewBridge, which uses the existing KPluginFactory to load the
KCModule. The decoration plugin must provide the keyword "kcmodule"
for it.
So far Aurorae is adjusted and provides configuration for the Plastik
decoration. The interaction with the configuration module works, but
the configuration itself for Plastik seems to be currently broken.
The port to KDecoration2 means quite some changes in the way how Aurorae
works. First of all: the theme to load is passed to the Deocoration ctor
and not searched for by Aurorae itself.
The rendering mechanismn didn't change significantly yet. It's still
rendering to an FBO and passing the image on. This needs some further
work as KDecoration2 does not support the padding any more. So all
themes using shadow are currently broken.
Another big change is the way how the rendering scene is constructed
and used. KDecoration2 doesn't want the the Decoration to be a native
window. But for being able to render a QtQuick scene at all we need a
QQuickWindow. Thus it creates a window parented to the decoration id,
but not accepting any input event. Input is nowadays controlled from
the outside: events are passed into the Decoration, so we don't want
the QtQuick window intercepting events.
In case of non-composited the normal FBO mechanism doesn't work and
Aurorae just renders to the QQuickWindow directly. This could use
some optimization in the decoration renderer in KWin core to not even
try to perform the normal rendering. On the other hand it's probably
too much a hassle for the use case.
The rendering architecture might hopefully be improved with Qt 5.4
and the new QQuickRenderControl class.
The QQuickWindow also exposes a problem for preview in the
kdecoration-viewer and the future KCM: we don't want a different
window, but best would be to get to the QML scene directly. A small
hack is added to have the previewers set a "visualParent" which Aurorae
uses to parent the QML scene to without the need to create a
QQuickWindow.
The KWin::Borders element is provided by an extension plugin. The reason
for that is to be able to use it from e.g. the kcm or Plasmate without
needing to compile the code in.
But this results in Aurorae itself not being able to access the element.
The solution is to first load our decoration plugin and afterwards
register the borders element again with the version compiled in from
Aurorae.
With that we can now read all borders and paddings without using
properties. Also we could connect to change signals and have the borders
and padding handling completely stateful. Might be an idea for extending
the decoration library...
* A KDecoration needs to include json metadata
* A KDecoration needs to be installed to kwin/kdecorations
* Aurorae and Oxygen adjusted
* kcmdeco locates all decorations through the KPluginTrader
* libkdecoration uses KPluginTrader to find the plugin
* config plugins also need to include json metadata with
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name being the same as the decoration
* config plugins need to get installed to kwin/kdecorations/config
* kcmdeco locates the config plugin for a deco through the name
and KPluginTrader
REVIEW: 116765
Major transition to render using QtQuick 2. This means the actual
rendering needs a QQuickWindow which we embed into a QWidget container.
Not an optimal solution, deco API should offer to operate on QWindow.
For non-composited the decoration gets rendered but for composited
rendering the paint redirector is broken. There are no paint events on
the main QWidget to intercept and thus the redirection doesn't work.
The logic to use $INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR/KDE doesn't work there, since the
plasma includes land in a different path on the jenkins setup. Let's see
if this fixes it.
Needed for getting proper previews in the QtQuick 2 based kcm.
Obviously this breaks Aurorae as Aurorae is not yet migrated to
QtQuick 2. But there is no more broken than broken anyway.
The generic QML components from Aurorae are split out into an
own declarative plugin. In addition two new helper classes are
added to this plugin:
* A ColorHelper to map a few function of KColorSheme and making
it possible to actually work with colors in QML. The need
emerged from trying to port Plastik to QML which makes strong
use of color shading.
* A DecorationOptions class which is a wrapper around KWin's
KDecorationOptions but in a more useable way for QML. The
various options are provided as properties and the value of
the properties changes automatically depending on whether the
decoration is active or inactive.
Aurorae itself is not yet adjusted to these changes, but it
should also be adjusted as some of the options are currently
exported in the factory and the factory is injected into the
Aurorae QML decoration.
What's working:
* background for active and inactive decorations inclusive transitions
* all buttons get loaded
* transition between button states
* all borders, paddings etc is working
* mouse interaction with buttons and title area
What's not yet working:
* special maximize mode
* mouse wheel on title area
* window tabs
* changing themes
* crash resistence (currently a not compiling QML file crashes KWin badly)
* window/blur mask (tricky - we need the alpha mask of the background SVG)
What's going to be dropped:
* special opaque mode
* decoration position at left/right/bottom instead of top
Why? Because nobody uses these features
It should support everything the old engine supported. Only known regression is the lack of tooltips.
Now finally Aurorae is ready to get window tab support \o/

This change magically fixes the problem that you had to close the systemsettings window to use the GHNS dialog.

This theme engine uses SVG files to theme the decoration like the themes for Plasma desktop shell.
