They cause stutters and reduced frame rates on some Intel laptops because the

this improves the out of the box behavior which has regressed a bit over
time. since we default to kcfg_ActiveMouseScreen=true the active screen
by default follows the pointer. during early startup we position the
pointer on a Placeholder output, this output does eventually get
replaced by the real output(s). because of the update logic we'd
re-position the pointer on the closest real output, but that isn't
necessarily the intended primary output.
e.g. consider an eDP + HDMI setup depending on the geometries involved
the cursor may end up on the HDMI screen by default rather than the eDP
resulting in plasma-welcome opening on the HDMI output.
to mitigate this problem we now track whether the last output was a
placeholder and if so we instead try to position the pointer on the
current primary output
The indirection no longer required because libkwineffects has been
merged with libkwin. EffectWindow will be eventually dropped in favor
of apis provided by Window and WindowItem.
The rationale behind the check was sandboxed apps could have a different
mount namespace to kwin, therefore lying about the executable path was
doable.
Moving forward anything sandboxed will have a security context app Id.
Anything not sandboxed can circumvent these checks anyway.
This significantly improves application launch time.
The security context appId is set by the launching container (i.e
flatpak) and is therefore more trustworthy than any other source of
application ID.
Use this when looking up allowed wayland extensions.
This allows KWin to securely identify the client for a given connection,
without relying on the process name.
This patch does not do anything meaningful with the application ID other
than store it.
This first version does not support kwin restarts, it can come
afterwards.
Testing done:
With latest flatpak, running `WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 flatpak run org.telegram.desktop |& grep security`
shows that flatpak itself bound the security context, and the client did not see it advertised.
The configuration file may contain entries that have the same output identifiers if
there's a bug in the implementation. To repair the config, this commit checks for
duplicate entries in the output list and removes them when loading the config file.
OffscreenQuickView replaces the contents of the default scene. Nothing

On the other hand, if the OffscreenQuickView contains translucent region,
there might be visual glitches. To prevent that, this change makes
scene effect views opaque.
We want some quick views to be opaque, for example SceneEffect views.
This changes adds an api allowing to specify whether the given
OffscreenQuickView must be opaque or translucent.
If another compositor changes the color encoding and color range properties, the

When a display gets turned off while a pageflip event was still pending, the pending

modeset, avoiding that issue.

As KWin measures render times properly now, these settings and estimations

When sorting surfaces in the ancestor order we need to ignore null
surfaces.
In addition to that, we also need to properly handle the case where
a transaction with dependencies is unlocked and it contains null
surfaces.
For example, if there are three transactions A -> B -> C, and the B
transaction is unlocked, we cannot apply it until transaction A is
applied. The readiness check is based on checking the first pending
transaction of the surface. But if the surface is null, the check
will be skipped, which is not ideal as transaction B can be applied
before transaction A now. To address that, this change makes every
transaction entry remember the previous transaction. With that, the
readiness check can be performed even if the surface has been destroyed.

It doesn't make sense for a window to become 1x1 pixels small. When we have

BUG: 469237
Window::acceptsFocus() is not taken into account when a window is

Instead, Window::takeFocus() should check itself if the window accepts

Right now the string is only set when the option is changed to anything

ICC profiles are now set through KScreen, which conflicts with colord. Colord is also
dropped because applications may read the profile for the current output from it, and
so KWin and the application both apply the profile, resulting in wrong colors.
While applications are still restricted to sRGB, this allows working on sRGB
content on displays with a wide color gamut as the whole profile gets applied,
instead of just the VCGT.
CCBUG: 439135
libkwineffects was introduced when kwin used to be an executable. It
provided an api to implement effects and shielded from the technical
quirks in kwin.
Over the time, kwin internals had been split and abstractions were
refactored so they can be consumed in scripts or plugins. Besides that,
new ways to implement extensions have been introduced, which use
kwin's internal abstractions.
On the other hand, effects continue using libkwineffects specific apis.
This has a few issues: qtquick effects use both apis and it bites us,
duplicating same apis.
The best solution so far is to merge libkwineffects with libkwin, and
replace libkwineffects abstractions with libkwin abstractions, e.g.
EffectScreen -> Output, etc. This change takes care of adjusting libs.
Obviously, the main disadvantage of doing so is that binary effects
have to be recompiled every time new libkwin is released. But it's
already the case with libkwineffects too.
onTextEdited only updates on user-invoked key presses, and not
programatic changes.
This is a better choice when we have a two-way bindings such as with
configuration files, but in this case we always want the UI to reflect
the current contents of the search box making onTextChanged the better
signal.

Recent-ish changes meant that the X11 window is kept alive whilst an
effect may be using the window.
This changes the lifetime of the sync alarm. This is problematic in the
case of an XWayland crash, we can assume whilst an X11 client is valid
the X11 connection is also valid, but if a close animation is used the
connection might not be valid when the destructor is called.
If a repaint is scheduled in the prePaintScreen() function, we want
it to be applied in the next frame, not the current one.
Currently, it doesn't work like this because prePaintScreen() runs first
then the Compositor gathers repaints and resets them.
This is important to qtquick effects that use qtquick3d as some items in
qtquick3d schedule repaints for the next frame after synchronizing, i.e.
in OffscreenQuickView::update() which is called in prePaintScreen() by
QuickSceneEffect.

Because the pattern is constant, we can reuse the value instead of creating a new regex every time
We always know the data for the single pixel will fit into the buffer, so
it's unnecessary to use the checked variant (which is only available in
OpenGL 4.5)
On Wayland, options don't influence compositing as on X11. For example,
kwin cannot easily switch between compositing modes, etc.
One can still force kwin_wayland to reinitialize compositing by using
the dbus api.
It makes little sense to destroy effects if the animation speed changes.
The effects are written with the assumption that the animation time can
change and therefore they handle this case in reconfigure().
Amends 4d2c9f5d88.
Prior to 4d2c9f5d88, the Compositor used
to force the Options to reload settings when starting compositing.
Unfortunately it was overlooked that Options::animationTimeFactor() can
return an old value when the Options::animationSpeedChanged() signal is
emitted. This change addresses that.
Scripted and builtin effect metadata formats are no longer compatible.
So KPackageLoader doesn't list builtin effects anymore. To address that,
load builtin effect metadata manually.
At the moment, if an effect wants to have a configure button in the
desktop effects kcm, it needs to add X-KDE-PluginKeyword field with
its plugin id. This is confusing.
This change ports scripted effects to X-KDE-ConfigModule, which is more
intuitive than X-KDE-PluginKeyword.
kcm_kwin4_genericscriptedconfig is a special config module that loads
config.ui from KPackage. However, an effect can specify a different
config module in the metadata if kcm_kwin4_genericscriptedconfig doesn't
suit their needs.
QuickSceneEffect can also be instantiated by C++, for example that's
the case with the overview effect. In that case, qmlContext() is not
going to return a valid context because the effect has not been created
by a QQmlEngine. In that case, use the root context as the parent
context.

pos: On QEvent::HoverLeave events, this position will always be QPoint(-1, -1).
On the same app, such as Wayland-enabled VS Code, the misgeneration causes the cursor to move to the origin when moving the cursor away from the server side decoration.
There are four usages of this overload, two of them are for the
intentionally disabled "Switch to Next/Previous Desktop" actions and the
rest are for "Switch One Desktop to X" actions. Due to the order they
were added, an empty keybind was set as the default and the actual
keybind is never enabled.
Now there's a QKeySequence argument to this overload, so an unexpected
empty keybind is never added. The two usages of addAction that depend on
this empty keybind behavior now pass in an empty QKeySequence.

BUG: 472901
EffectWindowImpl affects rather the WindowItem, so move its ownership to
it. This encapsulates compositing setup so it's effectively same as
creating a window item, except some annoyances on X11.
This makes the api of EffectWindow more similar to the api of Window. It
also makes more sense to keep such signals in EffectWindow. In the future,
the effect window can be dropped in favor of the window.
When the xwayland connection gets destroyed, it doesn't get deleted immediately. If the

Instead of an external service (like KScreen) storing and restoring output configurations,
with this commit KWin takes over that responsibility. This allows it to, among other things,
generate appropriate configs for new sets of outputs immediately, and take KWin-internal information
about outputs into account when generating them.

This is useful for the few cases where wheel events are not for

In this case having the metadata that the delta is backwards is

The test fails sometimes with "Tried to add event to destroyed queue".
It does so because the event queue is not destroyed last. See also

With the current vision for how output backends work, the compositor
should take up more responsibilities. There are a few good reasons: some
things just don't make sense to be in backends, to allow sharing code
across backends easier, etc. On the other hand, we have X11, with its
own ways of doing things which are not always compatible with what we
want to do on Wayland.
The goal of this patch is to start splitting the compositor into
platform specific counterparts, with potentially moving X11 compositing
in kwin_x11. The main benefit of this is that we will be able to
push forward with wayland things more freely. Ideally it would be great
if we could make kwin_x11 have its own low level compositing code paths
that are nicely encapsulated in that executable and don't leak into
libkwin abstractions.
The biggest drawback of this approach is that there is going to be some
code duplication between x11 and wayland compositing code paths. But I
expect it to be the case only for a short term until we start landing
more abstractions in kwin_wayland, e.g. render devices, proper output
layer support, etc.
According to 4b686a204250b4416fce79fa55b8a89c5193de38 in kde-workspace,
the support for private colormaps was mainly useful to 8bit displays,
which are relic of time now.
At the moment, the wayland compositor has to handle the case of having
no workspace. This should be unnecessary and it creates a pesky cycling
dependency between Workspace and Compositor.
Given that the Workspace acts more like a container and kwin starts
accepting client connections after starting compositing, it's possible
to create the Workspace earlier and simplify the start() function a bit.
The main motivation behind this change is to encapsulate X11 compositor
implementation to the point that it can be moved from libkwin to
kwin_x11.
There are two options: either get rid of suspend and resume requests, or
add suspend and resume virtual functions in the Compositor. The apps
must definitely not rely on the dbus api, they must use the X11 api.
Compositing suspension api works only on X11 and it's quite obscure,
it's not used by any other KDE component.
So this patch goes for the most simplest option: dropping the requests.
The Shadow no longer owns the texture, so it can be loaded while
compositing is off.
This changes removes the compositing status check to simplify code.
This allows checking if the given override redirect is the composite
overlay window without resorting to platform specific implementation of
Compositor.
Currently, the Workspace is responsible for rerouting
X11Window::blockingCompositingChanged to
X11Compositor::updateClientCompositingBlocking(). It has a few issues:
if the client is initially blocking compositing, it's not going to work
as expected. The second issue is that it creates a coupling between
platform specific compositor implementation and generic Workspace. It's
a blocker for moving X11Compositor to kwin_x11 executable, etc.
implicit sync doesn't work properly with glFlush + KMS and llvmpipe doesn't support
EGL_ANDROID_native_fence_sync either, so we need to wait for rendering to complete
in a blocking fashion.
If somebody else claims the compositing selection, we definitely do not
want to stop compositing. It will also help with encapsulating
X11-specific code and splitting it out in the future.
Config loading is split in two groups: loading compositing config and
loading the rest. They are loaded separately at different times. Some
options are loaded in the Options constructor, some are loaded when compositing
starts, some are loaded when the Workspace is created. It's not easy to
keep track of what loads what and when.
This change simplifies option handling by loading all options in bulk
and decouples Options from OutputBackend and GLPlatform to ensure that
it can safely load options before kwin is fully operational.
Before 885e9acb6e
Application::processStartupEnvironment() returned
QProcessEnvironment::systemEnvironment() which means the current
environment of KWin when this function was called. By setting
InheritFromParent we can replicate this behavior.
This fixes KWin starting processes on X11.
The events we forward to the offscreen QML view are with our own
QPointingDevice instance, which has a devicetype of touch but a null pointerType.
In Qt5 this was enough, but pointerhandlers in qt6 refuse events with an undefined

BUG:473541
If a transaction entry is removed, the graphics buffer reference will
be dropped and it's possible that the TransactionDmaBufLocker is going
to be destroyed as well.
If that happens, the transaction may remain in the locked state.
At the moment transactions from the same client are applied in the
commit order even if the trasactions affect unrelated surfaces.
This patch desynchronizes transactions affecting unrelated surfaces.
With this, if a client updates two surfaces (as an example, Firefox with
two windows) and one of its surfaces takes longer to render, the other
surface is not going to be slowed down.
Another nice thing is that it removes client from Transaction, which
might be potentially useful to the Workspace for coordinated resize or
something.
This makes unconstraining code more reusable (in case of applet popups
use xdg-positioner too), and in general, it makes sense for better
encapsulation.
Transactions provide a way to apply new surface state to multiple
surfaces atomically.
A transaction can be locked. In which case, it's not going to be applied
until all locks are dropped. For example, this can be used to delay
applying new surface state until the committed buffers become idle.
After introducing SurfaceExtension, SurfaceRole has lost its commit()
function. It serves informative purpose now only.
Shell surface implementations don't have to inherit from SurfaceRole.
By making SurfaceRole act more like a value type, it's possible to fix
role handling in wl_pointer.set_cursor.
There's "major" and "minor" defines that can get implicitly included, for
example with musl libc. To prevent that from breaking compilation, rename
the methods
Since there is now exist the signal right before maximize, use it to
set oldGeometry instead of storing previous values every time with
windowFrameGeometryChanged.
This fixes the effect under Wayland.
Instead, creating contexts that miss these features should fail directly,
making KWin fall back to software rendering.
While this commit also drops workarounds for broken drivers that do software
emulation for features we need, such workarounds belong into these drivers and
the user can still manually turn off compositing if needed.
This commit also drops most of the code around checks for direct rendering. If
direct rendering isn't supported, creating the OpenGL context will now simply fail,
achieving the same effect
In certain cases it can be useful to delay applying a surface commit. As
an example, the compositor may wait until the committed graphics buffer
is ready for reading to avoid stalling its graphics pipeline.
This change introduces basic surface state locking capabilities and
ports some surface extensions to new helpers to manage associated state.
Currently, committed fields are contiguously accumulated. With this, it
will be possible to see what fields have been committed when the
committed() signal is emitted.
It would be nice if xdg-surface and xdg-surface role state are in a
single object so it's easier to stash them. This change refactors
xdg-shell handling to allow that.
xdg-surface state now belongs to xdg-toplevel or xdg-popup state.
It makes no sense to lock that behind an env var. If there's errors those
should always be printed so that we know about them without further investigation
Avoids accidentally triggering an edge when dragging a scroll bar or
text selection all the way to the screen edge.
Special case for moving windows, as you want to be able to drag
a window to an edge to switch virtual desktops.
Compositor::scheduleRepaint() needs some knowledge of the composited
layers, which would be great to get rid of to split wayland and x11
compositing bits.
Display the window caption and class name (safe for the icon) like is done

Eases debugging properties, such as "transientFor".
Otherwise, when using Alt as modifier for moving windows, the tabbox window
cannot be clicked because Alt is held down during Alt+Tab, which would try
to initiate a window move but the window isn't actually movable, so ends up
doing nothing.
It also allows to interact with Plasma popups, which are also immovable,
while the modified key is pressed.
Currently when we move the mouse the one render loop triggers a repaint.
When the cursor layer needs a new update we end up in the compositor
repainting the main content.
Even though painting should mostly no-op it still goes through all
existing items and effects to collect damage, still potentially making
the GL context current which could stall. A waste when we know we
haven't got anything to do. It's enough to cause noticable mouse lag on
some hardware.

It never belonged in the OutputBackend, but we also didn't have a better
place when the relevant code had been added.
With the introduction of graphics buffer allocators, it's no longer the
case.
Some wheels might send fewer or more than 120 fractions per step.
In order to always register a discrete step, we count these as a step
already at half(120/2) of one mouse wheel step in stepping mode.
The timer resets the initial value of the step because the mouse
can switch between free spin and stepping mode.
When transitioning from free spin to stepping mode,
the mouse calibrates its wheel position to the starting point
and generates some fractions.
As a result, our starting position can appear far from the zero point,
potentially causing us to count two(or zero) steps instead of one.
Additionally, the compositor might start when the mouse is in
free spin mode(or the mouse could be connected in free spin mode),
leading to the same issue.

At the moment, popups are assigned to the current desktop and activity.
However, a toplevel can be on several virtual desktops. If user switches
between virtual desktops and the active window does not change, it can
result in not being able to dismiss or open new popups depending on the
toolkit implementation details.
To prevent that, keep popups on same virtual desktops as their parents.

The buffer transform specifies a transform from the buffer coordinate
space to the surface coordinate space.
The inverse buffer transform specifies a transform from the surface
coordinate space to the buffer coordinate space.
OutputTransform::map(QRect, QSizeF) expects both arguments to be in the
same coordinate space.
In case of SurfaceInterfacePrivate::computeSourceBox(), both should be
scaled surface coordinates so bufferTransform.inverted() maps the source
rect to the proper buffer coordinate space.
Ensures that e.g. context menus move about with their parents when they
get moved around.
However, as per spec don't re-constrain the window when its positioner

moves.
Only when the positioner is reactive, will it recalculate the placement fully.

Selection acts as an abstraction around multiple X11Sources, when we get

XwlDataSource is the datasource that SeatInterface knows about. We need
to delete this when the X11 connection is no longer valid. SeatInterface

The hook is introduced as updating the selection in Clipboard will cause
Selection to delete m_xSource which gets messy.

While not common a client can have bound the global multiple times

send to the client would carry the wrong object since only the clients
of the two resources were checked for equality.
We can save the resource of the window managment the window

Sending the initialState has been moved out of resource_bind since
it happens directly after allocate() and there being no opportunity
to set the custom wmResource field in between.

Given how the blur effect works, if a pixel changes, the surrounding
pixels may have to be repainted as well. Currently, it's achieved by
expanding the damage in the BlurEffect::prePaintWindow() function.
However, it means that the blur effect should see both surface and
buffer damage in the pre paint pass.
Unfortunately, after refactoring surface and buffer damage tracking,
kwin no longer provides the buffer damage in the pre paint pass (it does
so for good reasons). This broke the blur effect. As an example, you may
see visual glitches when moving the software cursor over blurred areas
of a window.
In order to fix this issue, the blur effect has to cache background
behind every window to avoid blurring already blurred areas.
This change implements a background cache. Unfortunately, since the
blur effect's code has become very difficult to change over the years,
this change rewrites the relevant parts of the blur effect.
With the proposed design, the blur effect is going to maintain cached
background for every window + offscreen render targets. It may have
issues with animated windows, however in practice, it seems to behave
good enough. However, if it becomes pressing matter, we can move from
simplistic design in this patch to somewhat more sophisticated design
that involves textures with rounded up size.
BUG: 455526
At the moment, the blur effect operates in two modes:
- generic where the blur effect samples from pixels outside the window
- and a more strict version where the blur effect only blurs what's
behind the window
The latter mode is preferred for panels and its popup. However, it also
makes sense to enable this mode for normal windows too. This simplifies
the blur effect a bit.
