This patch applies a common language and type-setting to the
systemsettings modules in kwin.
Considerations:
- The comment field might repeat the name, or give more detail about the
specific settings on this page, this makes sense with how
systemsettings and kcmshell present it
- Mentioning the words settings, configure, options, etc. is avoided --
it is clear from the context that these are settings and options.
- Title-case throughout in line with human interface guidelines, see
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Capitalization
- The comment ends up being the title, so the
- tech slang is avoided as much as possible, but left in where really
necessary
- I've left the Name field "mostly untouched", as that one is key for
the user to find the right module in systemsettings' icon view and in
the sidebars
The most prominent change is "Compositor" to "Graphics Compositor" (in
the Title field). This is more like a "suggestion", if you don't like
it, I'll take it out again. Reasoning: "Compositor" is a very technical
term, people who know graphics might recognize it. Others might not
understand that "composite" is about graphics -- hence the
specialization. Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting

For a classic user interface like the advanced compositor settings the
good old widgets are still better suited than the new QuickControls.

We need kdeclarative for i18n support. This needs to be done before we
load the source. By that we don't need to import Plasma.Core which isn't
used by the views at all.
Also we don't need to link twice against declarative.
This ensures that we can tab to the UI written in QtQuick. Unfortunately
it doesn't get initial focus, which seems to be a general problem of
KCMShell (QWidget based KCMs also do not get focus) and it's not possible
to tab out of quick ui again.

Spacing needs to be specified on the ListView instead in the delegate.
This fixes incorrect vertical alignment of the buttons in each row.
In addition a proper background is set on the ScrollView.

This removes all the hacks to add kwin4_effect_ to the name of the Effect
and adjusts the desktop files of the effect configuration's parent
component.
Note: the scripted effects still start with kwin4_effect_ prefix.
REVIEW: 117367
Instead of using the KServiceTypeTrader we use the BuiltInEffects to get
the name of CoverSwitch and FlipSwitch.
Showing the configuration dialog is migrated to KPluginTrader which fixes
the showing of the dialog.
The desktops KCM allows selecting between the virtual desktop switching
effects. For those it offers configuring and showing the information.
The KServiceTypeTrader based search is adjusted to be only used for the
scripted effects. The built-in effects are queried through the
information available through the BuiltInEffects namespace.
The EffectData in BuiltinEffects is extended by all the data needed for
the desktop effects KCM:
* display name
* comment
* category
* video-url
* exclusive group
* internal
This information is taken directly from the desktop files.
The Built-in effects are now also resolved through the BuiltInEffects
namespace and the KServiceTypeTrader query is adjusted to only find the
scripted effects.
Unfortunately this introduces another round of adding "kwin4_effect_" to
load and save the effects correctly. This will be removed once all KCMs
are adjusted to use the new BuiltInEffects.
* Ported last qt4_wrap thingy to qt5_wrap thingy
* Include KF5Init (needed for kdeinit_executable
* Optionally include KF5DocTools and bind the docs subdirectory to it
* Include GenerateExportHeaders
The category gets read from the KService and is not translated.
Because of that the KCM needs to do the translation of the categories.
This was also the case in the old KCM.
REVIEW: 117111
Both KCMs had a hard coded default which is obviously bad. Instead we
now calculate a useable implicitWidth and implicitHeight and use this
as the minimum size for the KCM. Which means we need also track changes
to these two root object properties and update the QWidget container
accordingly.

We check whether the effect is scripted and provides a config. If that
is the case our normal approach for getting the config plugin fails and
we use this case to try to load it again through the generic scripted
config plugin.
REVIEW: 116863
BUG: 332186
The model data contains a new role ConfigurableRole. This is used to
decide whether the configure button is available.
The value for the role is set by searching for a KPlugin which has the
effect's service name as X-KDE-ParentComponents. All available configs
are expected to be in kf5/kwin/effects/configs/ and are located through
the KPluginTrader thus binary effect configs need to provide json meta
data.
REVIEW: 116855
Sort by:
* category
** exclusive group
*** name
Thus we have an alphabetic order of all categories, in the categories
we have again an alphabetic order of all effects in the same group and
the effects in one group are listed at the bottom of the category.
REVIEW: 116753
The new X-KWin-Exclusive-Category property is read from the service
and provided to QML through the ExclusiveRole. If an effect has such
a role the CheckBox is replaced by a RadioButton. The radio buttons of
an exclusive group take care that only one effect of the group can be
enabled. In addition the radio button acts like a check box. If one
clicks the checked radio button it gets unchecked.
At the same time this change removes the hard coded functionality for
the exclusive group of desktop switching effects. It's all handled
dynamically by creating the ExclusiveGroup when needed. For each
category there can be one ExclusiveGroup.
REVIEW: 116711
For each effect added to the list the KWin DBus interface is queried
for whether the effect is supported.
By default all effects are set to supported, thus if the DBus service
is not around (e.g. compositing disabled) it is assumed that all effects
are supported. In fact it's not possible to figure it out at all.
REVIEW: 116667
Using spacing around the header and no hardcoded color by using
KColorscheme to get the base color and use the same alpha modulation
as KCategoryDrawer.

* use frame in the scroll area
* remove needless anchoring for an Effect
* use one RowLayout for one Effect row
* add a left and right padding using the normal spacing
* Use a ColumnLayout for the center element consisting of
** name

** (info)
** (video)
* Video moved into an own component
* Animations removed
REVIEW: 116693
Let's try getting the KCM a little bit less scary by properly
hiding everything the user doesn't have to care about. The prominent
desktop effects KCM only contains the list of all the effects which
can be configured and nothing else. Only exception is the disabled
check after failed GL to make this easier for the user.
All the "advanced" settings are moved into a new KCM called
"Compositing" which is put under the hardware component in
systemsettings. This contains all advanced settings including
* whether compositing is enabled at all
* backend
* animation speeed
* scale filter
* unredirect fullscreen
* color correction

A video button is shown if the model provides an url for a video.
If the button is pressed the video element is added in a similar way
to the aboutInfo and starts the video directly. Once the playback
stopped a play again button is shown.
If one clicks the video button again, the video gets hidden.
Room for improvement:
* add a button to open in external player
* ensure video is centered correctly in the list view
Methods added to the Model to map from row index to the backend
identifier and vice versa. That way the Compositing object can do
all the saving and loading.
* all properties extended to be writable and emit change signals
* contains load from and save to config functionality
* Compositing object in qml view is connected to the values of the
components. So changes are directly mapped from UI to business logic
We have an Apply and OK button in the KCModule, so we don't need one
in the view. A change signal is introduced and passed from the individual
items upwards, so that we can connect to it from the C++ side.
When we click into the CheckBox the following effects are being enabled:
*kwin4_effect_desktopgrid
*kwin4_effect_presntwindows
*kwin4_effect_dialogparent
If one of the above effects gets disabled, then the checkbox is unchecked.
Our CheckBox can detect if our effects are enable at the start time.
Only ONE of the following effects can be active at the same
time.
*kwin4_effect_slideEnabled
*kwin4_effect_cubeslideEnabled
*kwin4_effect_fadedesktopEnabled
Used by Cursor to properly emit the mouseChanged signal which for
historic reasons includes the keyboard modifiers.
Again some fiddling around with the autotests and kcmrules needed to
make it compile. This needs improvement!
New inheriting class which uses the InputRedirection to track the cursor
position. It doesn't support warping of cursor.
This introduces a slight dependency loop in the startup. Cursor needs to
be created after the WaylandBackend to ensure that the operation mode is
set correctly. But the WaylandBackend itself is accessing Cursor. It
should be safe as inside the WaylandBackend it's only accessed after
callbacks.
* A KDecoration needs to include json metadata
* A KDecoration needs to be installed to kwin/kdecorations
* Aurorae and Oxygen adjusted
* kcmdeco locates all decorations through the KPluginTrader
* libkdecoration uses KPluginTrader to find the plugin
* config plugins also need to include json metadata with
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name being the same as the decoration
* config plugins need to get installed to kwin/kdecorations/config
* kcmdeco locates the config plugin for a deco through the name
and KPluginTrader
REVIEW: 116765
The option changes the behavior of the menu button, thus we should point
out to the user that the behavior changes.
This is only done for Auroae configurations as other decorations have to
take care about it themselves.

In KCommonDecoration the OnAllDesktops button gets hidden or shown
depending on the number of desktops. For that KDecoration is extended
by a new property which delegates to the bridge to return whether
onAllDesktops is available. In KWin Core this is implemented using
the number of desktops.

Scripting has proved it's point of being useful so it's time to turn it
into a mandatory part of KWin.
Also I start to use features provided by Scripting in more and more
parts of KWin core (e.g. sharing QQmlEngine) which makes it in the
long to complicated to have a build option and ifdefs for it.
REVIEW: 116587
This simplifies the plugin loading. Decorations just have to use
K_PLUGIN_FACTORY to specify how the KDecorationFactory needs to be
created. The KWIN_DECORATION macro is adjusted to generate the
boiler plate code, but it now needs to specify the name for the
pluginfactory and the KDecorationFactory.
This also transits the decoration abi version check to use
K_EXPORT_PLUGIN_VERSION which also simplifies the loading.
As a result the complete canLoad handling in DecorationPlugins is
removed.
REVIEW: 115930
This caused a crash with Qt 5.3 dev branch as the widgets are null
before setupUi is called. Might be a bug in Qt but still it makes
sense to first call setupUi and then do further changes to the Ui.
The reason for this change is that the default ctor of KWindowInfo
creates a broken object. Calling any method in it will result in a
crush. Thus it is scheduled for removal in kwindowsystem framework
causing this code to no longer compile.
The solution is to use a pointer and set it to null as long as the
window has not been detected yet. To ensure that this doesn't fail
badly an assert is added to the getter in DetectWidget.
This was missing from what is available in KWin core. The brightness and
saturation are implemented using a custom shader which uses the same
logic as what we use in the scene shader.
We are only rendering an image, so it's better to load the image into a
texture. This allows to properly scale the example preview which
magically fixes all the layouting problems which used to be there.
Needs to implement a dummy switcher item. As the root item of the
switchers are no longer QQuickItem derived it cannot use a QQuickView.
Instead a component gets created and the switcher is just shown on the
primary screen. It's a more appropriate preview now which is not
put into a dialog window.
To make it more realistic (and to be able to dismiss it) the preview
grabs keyboard and mouse and closes itself if escape, return, enter or
space is pressed.
As well clicking outside the preview window closes the preview.
Instead we generate an export header for kdeinit_kwin and use it
to declare the KWIN_EXPORT. With this change our libs don't include
any KDE4Support headers any more. One step closer to no KDE4Support.
The ::palette() in KDecoration and KCommonDecoration returns the
QPalette the decoration should use for the decorated window. The
call delegates into the bridge and KWin core might provide a special
QPalette for a given Client depending on the _KDE_NET_WM_COLOR_SCHEME
property.
It's basically a run of the port-cmake.sh script in here, mostly the changes
are the following:
- Using KF5::* targets
- Using the proper macros, following recent developments in frameworks
All the rendering to QPixmap code in the Model and the Preview is
deleted as it's no longer used.
The model still has the plugin for the border size functionality.
This probably needs a change in the API to make it completely bound
to the decoration and not a global thing.
Using a QQuickPaintedItem for the rendering. The item gets the library
name from the model and loads the decoration with its own decoration
plugin. Thus each preview has its own plugin which eliminates the need to
constantly recreate the decoration as it is done with the preview.
Having a QQuickItem gives new possibilities. The item accepts hover
events and forwards them as enter and leave events to the widgets inside
the decoration. By that the mouse interaction of e.g. Oxygen is still
functional. If the decoration uses the new update approach the bridge is
forwarding the updates to the item and triggering a repaint so we even
have animations in the preview although the widget is never shown.
