Cross fading with previous pixmap is achieved by referencing the old
window pixmap. WindowPaintData has a cross-fade-factor which interpolates
between 0.0 (completely old pixmap) to 1.0 (completely new pixmap).
If a cross fading factor is set and a previous pixmap is valid this one
is rendered on top of the current pixmap with opacity adjusted. This
results in a smoother fading.
To simplify the setup the AnimationEffect is extended and also takes care
about correctly (un)referencing the previous window pixmap. The maximize
effect is adjusted to make use of this new capabilities.
Unfortunately this setup has a huge problem with the case that the window
decoration gets smaller (e.g. from normal to maximized state). In this
situation it can happen that the old window is rendered with parts outside
the content resulting in video garbage being shown. To prevent this a set
of new WindowQuads is generated with normalized texture coordinates in
the safe area which contains real content.
For OpenGL2Window a PreviousContentLeaf is added which is only set up in
case the crass fading factor is set.

The behavior for creating a pixmap for a window is moved from Toplevel
into a dedicated class WindowPixmap. Scene::Window holds a reference to
this class and creates a new WindowPixmap whenever the pixmap needs to be
discarded. In addition it also keeps the old WindowPixmap around for the
case that creating the new pixmap fails. The compositor can in that case
use the previous pixmap which reduces possible flickering. Also this
referencing can be used to improve transition effects like the maximize
windows effect which would benefit from starting with the old pixmap.
For XRender and OpenGL a dedicated sub-class of the WindowPixmap is
created which provides the additional mapping to an XRender picture and
OpenGL texture respectively.

Split WindowQuadDecoration into WindowQuadDecorationLeftRight
and WindowQuadDecorationTopBottom.
This simplifies the code in SceneOpenGL::Window::paintDecoration().
Use two textures per window instead of four, storing the left and
right borders in the first texture, and the top and bottom borders
in the second.
This makes it possible to render the whole decoration with only two
calls to glDrawArrays(). It also reduces the number of texture
allocations while resizing a window.
A specialised paintScreen method to render all windows of one

Two new properties saturation and brightness are added to the
ThumbnailItem which can be set from QML.
The properties are honoured by the Scene when rendering the thumbnail.

Add an option to kcmcompositing in the 'Advanced' tab, to enable or
disable color correction. It is specified that it's experimental and it
needs Kolor Manager.
Before painting for a particular screen, ColorCorrection::setupForOutput
should be called.
A screen property is added for WindowPaintData.
In kwinglutils, The fragment shaders are intercepted before being
compiled and they get a couple of lines of code inserted in order to do
the color correction. This happens only when color correction is enabled, of
course.
For D-Bus communication with KolorServer, everything is async.
The implementation basically manages a set of color lookup tables for
different outputs and for different window regions. These are taken via
D-Bus. Each lookup table has around 700 KB.

A decoration can provide the AbilityAnnounceAlphaChannel in addition to
AbilityUsesAlphaChannel. If this ability is provided the decoration can
enable/disable the use of the alpha channel through setAlphaEnabled().
The base idea behind this mechanism is to be able to tell the compositor
that currently alpha is not needed. An example is the maximized state in
which the decoration is fully opaque so that there is no need to use the
translucency code path which would render all windows behind the deco.
In addition also the blur effect honors this setting so that behind a
known opaque decoration no blurring is performed.
Oxygen is adjusted to disable translucency in maximized state and Aurorae
is adjusted to allow themes to enable/disable translucency. For Plastik
translucency and with that also blurring is disabled.

REVIEW: 106364
The handling for creating and managing the OpenGL context is
split out of the SceneOpenGL into the abstract OpenGLBackend
and it's two subclasses GlxBackend and EglOnXBackend.
The backends take care of creating the OpenGL context on the
windowing system, e.g. on glx an OpenGL context on the overlay
window is created and in the egl case an EGL context is created.
This means that the SceneOpenGL itself does not have to care
about the specific underlying infrastructure.
Furthermore the backend provides the Textures for the specific
texture from pixmap operations. For that in each of the backend
files an additional subclass of the TexturePrivate is defined.
These subclasses hold the EglImage and GLXPixmap respectively.
The backend is able to create such a private texture and for
that the ctor of the Texture is changed to take the backend as
a parameter and the Scene provides a factory method for
creating Textures. To make this work inside Window the Textures
are now hold as pointers which seems a better choice anyway as
to the member functions pointers are passed.
The Scene has always been created and destroyed inside what is
now the split out compositor. Which means it is actually owned
by the Compositor. The static pointer has never been needed
inside KWin core. Access to the Scene is not required for the
Window Manager. The only real usage is in the EffectsHandlerImpl
and in utils.h to provide a convenient way to figure out whether
compositing is currently active (scene != NULL).
The EffectsHandlerImpl gets also created by the Compositor after
the Scene is created and gets deleted just before the Scene gets
deleted. This allows to inject the Scene into the EffectsHandlerImpl
to resolve the static access in this class.
The convenient way to access the compositing() in utils.h had
to go. To provide the same feature the Compositor provides a
hasScene() access which has the same behavior as the old method.
In order to keep the code changes small in Workspace and Toplevel
a new method compositing() is defined which properly resolves
the state. A disadvantage is that this can no longer be inlined
and consists of several method calls and pointer checks.
The implementation consists of a class in libkwineffects.
There are some slight modifications in the compositor. Regions for
different outputs are drawn at different times.
Currently only per output color correction is implemented. However, the
grounds are prepared for implementing per window color correction
easily.
The ColorCorrection class needs to communicate via D-Bus with a KDED
module, KolorServer, which is a part of KolorManager.
The only visible part for the user consists of a check box in the
advanced tab for the compositing KCM.
The actual correction is done by injecting a piece of code in the
fragment shader, code that does a 3D lookup into a special color lookup
texture. The data for these textures is obtained from KolorServer. All
D-Bus calls are async.
The public member variables for opacity, saturation and brightness
are removed in favor for getter and setters. The variables are
moved into a private class. Those are now qreal instead of double.
To make usage inside the effects easier a multiply method is added
which multiplies the current value with passed in factor and returns
the new value in a functional programming style.

The LanczosFilter has a FBO in screen size. When the screen
geometry changes this FBO has to be recreated. To go completely
sure the lanczos filter gets deleted on screen changes.
To achieve this the LanczosFilter is wrapped inside a
QWeakPointer so that we can track when it got deleted. This
brings an additional advantage by delaying the creation of the
shader till it is really needed, that is when for the first
time a window thumbnail with lanczos is rendered.

The GraphicsView which renders the ThumbnailItem does not have to be
a toplevel widget. If it has a parent we have to navigate to the top level
parent widget and compare the window Id on this widget. If it matches the
one of the window we are currently rendering, we know that we found the
correct GraphicsView.

Instead of using the scene it is better to use the toplevel
item's parent position. This works better in case the scene
is endless and the toplevel item is not positioned at 0/0 as
it is the case for anything from Plasma.
There are still slight layouting issues which I think is
caused by thumbnails not honouring the margin. Will investigate.

This patch adds a new function Toplevel::addLayerRepaint, that in contrast
to addWorkspaceRepaint does not invalidate every blur texture cache that
overlaps with that region. As the name suggests it rather invalidates the
to the window associated layer at that position. This is especially useful
in the case of move/resize events in combination with oxygen-transparent,
where the altered window is almost always the topmost window and the blur
texture cache of the windows underneath are unchanged.
For the case of fully opaque windows the behaviour of addLayerRepaint
and addWorkspaceRepaint should be same.

This patch reduces the number of QRegion and WindowQuadList operations
by drawing the opaque and translucent parts of the window within the
same bottom to top pass.
REVIEW: 103671
By default clip is enabled. This means that if the thumbnail would
overlap the "parent" window, it does not get rendered at all. If set
to false it will always be rendered. This is required for window strip
where the complete screen width is used, so overlap does not matter.
A new QML item "ThumbnailItem" is registered to the TabBox. The
C++ implementation finds the EffectWindow of the TabBox and adds
itself to the EffectWindow.
While rendering the EffectWindow the information for all registered
ThumbnailItems are extracted and the thumbnail is rendered on top
of the EffectWindow.
This has obvious limitations like you cannot put other QML items
on top of the thumbnail. Nevertheless it works well enough to
be a possible replacement for e.g. BoxSwitch effect.
When compositing is disabled an icon is rendered instead of the
Thumbnail.
One TabBox Layout inspired by BoxSwitch Effect is added. For the
KCM small pre-rendered items are used.

QElapsedTimer doesn't have a constructor that initializes the
private members. This means that calls to isValid() will depend
on uninitialized data when the timer has never been started.
elapsed() and restart() will also use and return values
computed from uninitialized data.
This fixes several valgrind errors.
This patch implements an XProperty named _KDE_NET_WM_OPAQUE_REGION
which gives the compositor the information which part of a window
is opaque although it is an ARGB visual. The basic ideas are from
http://www.mail-archive.com/wm-spec-list@gnome.org/msg00715.html
Additionally the patch makes kwin use this information to do a better
clipping in Scene::paintSimpleScreen which should result in a higher
performance.

So far we have not used the information that damage events are window-specific, resulting in the
behavior that we repainted the damaged area although it might be hidden behind another window.
E.g. the CPU-Monitor plasmoid is almost all day occluded by a browser etc. and before this patch
we have been repainting the appropiate area every time the plasmoid has been updated.
Thx to Thomas Lübking for optimizing the patch.

The Shadow is clearly an aspect of the compositor. Therefore the
Shadow has to be owned and controlled by the Scene::Window.
Nevertheless Toplevel needs to know about the Shadow cause of reading
the property.
For a complete documentation of new functionality refer to:
http://community.kde.org/KWin/Shadow
The current implementation includes a new Shadow class and Toplevel
holds a pointer to an instance of this class. The Shadow class reads
the data from the X11 Property. There is one extended class located
in SceneOpenGL to render the shadow.
Compositor is adjusted to include the shadow region into the painting
passes.
Implementation for XRender still missing and Shadow needs to respond
to size changes of the Toplevel to update cached shadow region and
WindowQuads.
It is not always required to do a full repaint in each frame. E.g. in sliding popups the repaint areas are known and tracked.
This change reduces the painting overhead to just the window area.
Nevertheless I consider this change as experimental and will revert the commit in case it introduces rendering glitches.
Other effects which are good candidates for this flag is wobbly windows, magic lamp, minimize or in general all effects which transform just one window.
