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.
