This is a little helper that can be very convenient with our transition
from int-based screen ids to AbstractOutput.
As is, the main issue with int screen ids is that they are extremely
dynamic.
Wayland- and X11-specific code paths are not needed.
If the window is on all virtual desktops, Toplevel::desktops() will be
an empty list.
If the window is on a particular virtual desktop, Toplevel::desktops()
will contain that desktop. On X11, the desktops list can have at most
only one item.
toplevel.h is included in many places. Changing virtualdesktops.h may
trigger rebuild of all kwin.
With this change, only cpp files that use virtualdesktops.h will need to
be recompiled.
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.
It is error-prone to have multiple sources for the same data. If the
base implementation (Compositor::compositing()) changes, other helpers
can get out of sync.
They are used only by X11Client, so make X11Client call relevants
methods on the surface item directly instead. In hindsight, it will be a
really good idea to make SurfaceItemX11 and SurfaceItemXwayland(?)
automatically manage the window pixmap. However, it can be done once
an item freezing api is added and we fix the cross-fade animation.
The Toplevel::clientContentPos() function is needed to map the surface
local coordinates to the global coordinates. But its name is highly
confusing as there's already a function with a similar name. This change
introduces a helper with a better name to fix the readability issue.
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.
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.
