If a window wants to be initially shown in fullscreen mode, it will
issue an xdg_toplevel.set_fullscreen request before the first surface
commit.
If a window wants to be shown in fullscreen mode and there hasn't been
any first surface commit, kwin will cache the request and apply
fullscreen mode when checking window rules in the initialize() function.
On the other hand, window rules are disabled for plasma surfaces. The
motivation behind that was to forbid user from messing with plasma's
surfaces (this change was suggested during redesign of xdg-shell
implementation).
As it turns out, there are cases where plasma may ask to show a window
in fullscreen mode, which also has a plasma surface installed, e.g.
fullscreen application dashboard.
In order to fix the dashboard, this change allows window rules to be
applied to xdg-toplevel windows that also have plasma surfaces installed.
As is, xdg-toplevel surfaces and plasma surfaces are very different in
nature. Adding more quirks to handle plasma surfaces in
XdgToplevelClient is not worth the effort and there are better
alternatives, e.g. layer-shell.
Based on user feedback, it will be great to have krunner functionality
integrated in the overview/present windows effect.
This change ports the overview effect to Milou for search results. With
it, one can search for existing windows or launch new applications.
BUG: 445207
kwin-strip-effect-metadata needs to run on the host. First, one needs to
build it, e.g.
cmake --build build-native --target kwin-strip-effect-metadata
then when cross-compiling, point cmake to the native build directory, e.g.
cmake -DKWIN_HOST_TOOLING=${path}/build-native
This improves plugin loading times. As is, the main issue is the number
of builtin effects and the fact that each has a lot of translated
strings, which combined adds up to noticeable loading times. KWin itself
will never read those translated strings, it only needs two pieces - the
plugin id and whether the plugin is enabled by default.
This change adds a little helper to strip unnecessary info from metadata
files.
Fixes a crash I have with dpms + suspend, which was caused by the udev
event for updating outputs being called before the output got enabled
again. When DrmGpu::updateOutputs got called it removed the crtc from
the inactive output and then disabled the output afterwards. Instead,
only remove crtcs if an output is really disabled.
This also allows to generalize the logic for lease outputs, and could
in the future allow for faster dpms on/off switching.
This unifies frame hooks for OpenGL and QPainter render backends. There
are a couple of reasons why it's a good idea - it provides one mental
framework to start painting a frame, the Compositor will be able to
start and submit frames. The last one is very cool because it gives the
Compositor more power over compositing.
Besides unifying frame hooks, this cleans up a bit the arg naming mess
in endFrame(). As is, "damage" and "damagedRegion" are very confusing
names. "damage" arg has been renamed to "renderedRegion," because that's
what it is. The renderedRegion arg specifies the region that has been
repainted by the Scene. It's different from the damagedRegion as that
one specifies the surface damage, i.e. the difference between the
current and the next frame, while the renderedRegion may include a
region that had to be repainted to repair the back buffer. The main
reason why we need renderedRegion is the X11 platform. On Wayland, it's
unused.
In the future, we will need to extend this api with output layers.
The lanczos filter checks the screen size before rendering in
LanczosFilter::updateOffscreenSurfaces(), so this is not needed.
This simplifies lifetime handling of the lanczos filter, e.g. we
don't need to bother with opengl context anymore, and makes the
scene use less Screens' features.
On Wayland, a window can have subsurfaces. The spec doesn't require the
main surface and its sub-surfaces to have the same scale factor.
Given that Toplevel::bufferScale() makes no sense with Wayland windows,
this change drops it to make code more reasonable and to prevent people
from using Toplevel::bufferScale().
With a persistent vbo, kwin will allocate one big enough buffer and
allocate memory out of it.
In order to prevent overwriting vertex buffer data that is currently
being accessed by the GPU, fences are inserted at the end of frame.
The signaled fences are destroyed after the buffer swap operation, which
seems a bit odd because the just inserted fence most likely won't be
signaled. Perhaps it's a historical artifact?
This change rearranges fence cleanup so it's performed right before
starting a new frame. With it, kwin will most likely re-use the
previously used memory chunk because there will be plenty of time for
the fence to become signaled.
Another motivation behind this change is to make refactoring SceneOpenGL
code easier. As is, m_backend->endFrame() is wrapped in
GLVertexBuffer::endOfFrame() and GLVertexBuffer::framePosted(). With
that, the Compositor can't call m_backend->endFrame(), which can be
desired for cleaning up render backend abstractions.
Currently, when screencasting a window, kwin may render a window into a
temporary offscreen texture, copy that offscreen texture to the dma-buf
render target, and discard the offscreen texture.
Allocating and deallocating offscreen textures is inefficient. Another
issue is that the screencast plugin uses Scene::Window::windowTexture().
It's a blocker for killing scene windows.
This change introduces a base ScreenCastSource type. It allows us to
move away from Scene::Window::windowTexture() and make the dma-buf code
path efficient with applications such as Firefox that utilize
sub-surfaces.
With the ScreenCastSource, kwin can also provide screen cast frames with
arbitrary device pixel ratio.
Like top level clients, apply plasmashell roles to popups as well (limiting them, don't allow dock or desktop roles in poups as they don't make sense)
This makes possible to recognize plasma tooltips as tooltips, treating them in a way closer to X, and makes morphingpopups work on wayland
After user edits the name of a desktop, the search field is no longer
focused. If the user starts typing text, one could expect that it will
be forwarded to the search field without requiring a click.
This change forwards unhandled key events to the search field to ensure
that searching is intuitive.
Since binary effects are installed in their own directory, checking
service type is redundant. Also, KPluginMetaData::serviceTypes() has
been deprecated.

The ifdefs for have_gbm obfuscate the code unnecessarily - the drm backend
is not a great experience with qpainter, so in practice noone should ship
it without gbm anyways.
The Compositor contains nothing that can potentially get dirty and need
repainting.
As is, the advantages of this move aren't really noticeable, but it
makes sense with multiple scenes.
Backend parts are far from ideal, they can be improved later on as we
progress with the scene redesign.
