Due to being a compositor, kwin has to conform to some certain
interfaces. It means a lot of virtual functions and function tables to
integrate with C APIs. Naturally, we not always want to use every
argument in such functions.
Since we get -Wunused-parameter from -Wall, we have to plumb those
unused arguments in order to suppress compiler warnings at the moment.
However, I don't think that extra work is worth it. We cannot change or
alter prototypes in any way to fix the warning the desired way. Q_UNUSED
and similar macros are not good indicators of whether an argument is
used too, we tend to overlook putting or removing those macros. I've
also noticed that Q_UNUSED are not used to guide us with the removal no
longer needed parameters.
Therefore, I think it's worth adding -Wno-unused-parameter compiler
option to stop the compiler producing warnings about unused parameters.
It changes nothing except that we don't need to put Q_UNUSED anymore,
which can be really cumbersome sometimes. Note that it doesn't affect
unused variables, you'll still get a -Wunused-variable compiler warning
if a variable is unused.
It's unnecessary on wayland and there's a bug in m_isDamaged
initialization. We need to set m_isDamaged to true otherwise
SurfaceItemX11 won't attempt to query the damage.
Things such as Output, InputDevice and so on are made to be
multi-purpose. In order to make this separation more clear, this change
moves that code in the core directory. Some things still link to the
abstraction level above (kwin), they can be tackled in future refactors.
Ideally code in core/ should depend either on other code in core/ or
system libs.
This change adjusts the window management abstractions in kwin for the
drm backend providing more than just "desktop" outputs.
Besides that, it has other potential benefits - for example, the
Workspace could start managing allocation of the placeholder output by
itself, thus leading to some simplifications in the drm backend. Another
is that it lets us move wayland code from the drm backend.
With fractional scaling integer based logical geometry may not match
device pixels. Once we have a floating point base we can fix that. This
also is
important for our X11 scale override, with a scale of 2 we could
get logical sizes with halves.
We already have all input being floating point, this doubles down on it
for all remaining geometry.
- Outputs remain integer to ensure that any screen on the right remains
aligned.
- Placement also remains integer based for now.
- Repainting is untouched as we always expand outwards
(QRectF::toAdjustedRect().
- Decoration is untouched for now
- Rules are integer in the config, but floating in the adjusting/API
This should also be fine.
At some point we'll add a method to snap to the device pixel
grid. Effectively `round(value * dpr) / dpr` though right now things
mostly work.
This also gets rid of a lot of hacks for QRect right and bottom which
are very
confusing.
Parts to watch out in the port are:
QRectF::contains now includes edges
QRectF::right and bottom are now sane so previous hacks have to be
removed
QRectF(QPoint, QPoint) behaves differently for the same reason
QRectF::center too
In test results some adjusted values which are the result of
QRect.center because using QRectF's center should behave the same to the
user.
Anything in xcb_ structs are always in X local, all member variables
aside from buffers are in kwin local space.
This patch ignores a few paths that are not relevant on wayland.
The Workspace has two stacks - one with managed windows and deleted
windows, the other includes windows from the first stack + override
redirect windows.
This change merges both stacks. It has several benefits - we will be
able to move window elevation stuff to Workspace and streamline the
scene stuff, for example it will be possible to have a root item.
Another advantage is that unmanaged windows will have
Window::stackingOrder() property set, which can be useful in the future
in qml effects or (qtquick scene if we push harder in that front).
Another advantage is that kwin will make less X11 calls when restacking
managed windows.
This makes KWin switch to in-tree copy of KWaylandServer codebase.
KWaylandServer namespace has been left as is. It will be addressed later
by renaming classes in order to fit in the KWin namespace.
Currently, if geometry updates are blocked, the Toplevel.output property
won't be updated. On the other hand, it's reasonable to use the output
property instead of manually looking up the output in window management
code, e.g. Workspace::clientArea().
In other words, using the Toplevel.output property is like walking on a
mine field, things can blow up. You can't use Toplevel.output even if it
makes perfect sense.
This change ensures that Toplevel.output property is always kept in sync
with the frame geometry. Unfortunately, this means that the output
property no longer can be updated when the frameGeometryChanged() signal
is emitted. It has to be done in moveResizeInternal() method.
The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
With connection(), we will look up the x11 connection property on
kwinApp() object, which is less efficient than just calling a method on
the app object.
These repaints were added to fix visual artifacts that appear when
shadow is removed, but since items schedule repaints when needed, we can
remove these two.
The main idea behind _NET_WM_FRAME_OVERLAP is to extend the borders of
the server-side decoration so the application can draw on top of it. It
was inspired by similar feature in Windows.
However, _NET_WM_FRAME_OVERLAP is basically unused. Neither GTK nor Qt
support it and I have never seen any application that uses it.
At the moment, kwin is the only compositing window manager that supports
_NET_WM_FRAME_OVERLAP. Neither mutter nor compiz nor compton and so on
support it.
Since _NET_WM_FRAME_OVERLAP is practically unused, there's no point for
keeping supporting it.
This change shouldn't affect any existing app as _NET_WM_FRAME_OVERLAP
atom is not listed in _NET_SUPPORTED.
This makes the implementation of the buffer geometry consistent with the
frame geometry and the client geometry and removes a virtual method call
from a few hot paths.
This introduces the markedAsZombie signal, which is emitted when the
window is about to become deleted. The X11SurfaceItem uses this signal
to determine when the damage must be destroyed.
Currently, dealing with sub-surfaces is very difficult due to the scene
design being heavily influenced by X11 requirements.
The goal of this change is to re-work scene abstractions to make improving
the wayland support easier.
The Item class is based on the QQuickItem class. My hope is that one day
we will be able to transition to QtQuick for painting scene, but in
meanwhile it makes more sense to have a minimalistic internal item class.
The WindowItem class represents a window. The SurfaceItem class represents
the contents of either an X11, or a Wayland, or an internal surface. The
DecorationItem and the ShadowItem class represent the server-side deco and
drop-shadow, respectively.
At the moment, the SurfaceItem is bound to the scene window, but the long
term plan is to break that connection so we could re-use the SurfaceItem
for things such as software cursors and drag-and-drop additional icons.
One of the responsibilities of the Item is to schedule repaints as needed.
Ideally, there shouldn't be any addRepaint() calls in the core code. The
Item class schedules repaints on geometry updates. In the future, it also
has to request an update if its opacity or visibility changes.
This makes the logic that determines when Xwayland windows can be marked
as ready for painting more robust.
At the moment, we call setReadyForPainting() when the surface is damaged,
but we want Toplevel stop managing damages.
This is a minor regression that was introduced with the refactoring of
Toplevel::opacity().
Previously, neither X11Client nor Unmanaged had to explicitly initialize
the opacity because it was queried from the net info object in
Toplevel::opacity().
With the refactored version, X11-specific opacity code was removed from
the Toplevel class. When starting to manage a window, the opacity must
be explicitly initialized.
BUG: 432744
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
