We have lots of inconsistency at the moment in CMakeLists.txt files. Most
of it is due to kwin being a very old project. This change hopefully fixes
all of it.
Summary:
So far we were following a bit unique and rare doxygen comment style:
/**
* Contents of the comment.
**/
Doxygen comments with this style look balanced and neat, but many people
that contribute to KWin don't follow this style. Instead, they prefer
more traditional doxygen comment style, i.e.
/**
* Contents of the comment.
*/
Reviewing such changes has been a bit frustrating for me (so selfish!)
and for other contributors.
This change switches doxygen comment style in KWin to a more traditional
style. The main reason for doing this is to make code review process easier
for new contributors as well us.

Summary:
There is no concept of managed windows in Wayland, so every time we call
managed() on a Wayland client, it will return false.
This change addresses that problem by invoking managed() only for X11 clients.

Summary:
In some cases, the out transition is false-triggered because we don't
react to changes in the keep-above and the full screen state.
Test Plan:
* Set the keep-above state on a window;
* Click on the desktop;
* (the window didn't "flicker")

Summary:
Such an option would be useful for people that are used to watch videos
in the fullscreen mode.
By default, we still dim fullscreen windows because watching videos in
fullscreen mode is not the only one use-case. One could have a text
editor in fullscreen mode on one screen and Konsole on another screen.
In that case, it would be desired to dim the text editor if the latter
is active. Also, because we don't have stats of how the fullscreen mode
is used by KDE Plasma users.
BUG: 399822
FIXED-IN: 5.15.0
Test Plan:
* Unchecked the "Fullscreen windows" checkbox;
* Opened Konsole;
* Opened Firefox in the fullscreen mode;
* Pressed Alt+Tab;
* (Firefox stayed bright)

Summary:
The Dim Inactive effect expects that the windowClosed signal always
proceeds the windowDeleted signal. But in some cases that's not the case.
If a window gets destroyed before becoming ready for painting, only
the windowDeleted signal will be emitted. In addition to that, KWin will
activate that window, which means we'll probably start a transition for
it.
Because this effect cannot terminate active transitions for such
windows, KWin can crash in postPaintScreen.
This change addresses the crash in postPaintScreen by adding extra clean
up stuff in the windowDeleted slot to make sure that there are no
transitions for deleted windows.
The proper fix would be to not emit windowActivated signal for windows
that are not ready for painting.

x <- seq(5, 15, length=1000)
y <- dnorm(x, mean=10, sd=3)
plot(x, y, type="l", lwd=1)
```
in RKWard multiple times.

Summary:
The Dim Inactive effect sees the world a little bit differently.
m_activeWindow is currently active window that can be dimmed later on.
In most cases, it's the same as effects->activeWindow(). In rare cases,
it can be nullptr, even when effects->activeWindow() is not equal to nullptr
(e.g. when active window is a context menu popup).
canDimWindow is a helper that returns true if a given window should be
dimmed, otherwise it returns false. It has one special case: if a given
window is equal to m_activeWindow, return false. I.e. don't dim active
windows.
Currently, if user changes config of this effect, active window becomes
dimmed.
The reason for that is we hit that special case when deciding whether
effects->activeWindow() should be m_activeWindow.
This change addresses that problem by resetting m_activeWindow so we
don't hit that special case.
Test Plan:
* Opened KCM of this effect;
* Changed strength;
* (the KCM window stayed bright after I clicked "Apply" button).
(everything else works as expected)

Summary:
The Dim Inactive effect was rewritten mostly to fix most of issues with
it, e.g. after leaving a full screen effect(e.g. Desktop Grid) windows
sometimes are not dimmed back, or when a window becomes inactive there
is no smooth transition, etc.
{F5956124}
//Before: the window is not smoothly dimmed.//
{F5956127}
//After: the window is smoothly dimmed.//
In combination with an effect that animates the disappearing of windows,
e.g. Glide, the rewritten Dim Inactive effect doesn't "flash" windows.
If an active window has been closed, it will stay bright. If an inactive
window has been closed, it will stay dimmed.
Among other changes, the KCM has been re-designed to follow common KCM
design in Plasma:
{F5956128, layout=center, size=full}
The way the rewritten Dim Inactive effect handles flashing/flickering problem can be
reused in the Dialog Parent effect.
### Demo
{F5959885}
//Before: dimming of a window group.//
{F5959886}
//After: Dimming of a window group.//

Summary:
By changing all kcfg to have arg="true" we can pass in the same
KSharedConfigPtr into all effects. This allows to have fake config in
the tests and in the planned effect demo mode.
Also it means that we don't have to hardcode the name kwinrc into the
files. In the configs - where we cannot access the effectshandler - we
use the define KWIN_CONFIG which gets generated based on the compile
time arguments.

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
All KCMs and KWin core use the BuiltInEffects namespace to find and
interact with the effects. There is no information left in the desktop
file which are of usage. Thus they can be removed.
This method replaces the X-KDE-ORDERING property in the Effect's desktop
files. This change is a preparation step for integrating the new Effect
Loader which doesn't read the ordering information. Thus it needs to be
provided by the Effect itself so that the EffectsHandler can properly
insert it into the chain.
Also for the built-in Effects on the long run it doesn't make much sense
to install the desktop files. And binary plugin effects will migrate to
json metadata which also doesn't have the KService::Ptr. Thus overall it
simplifies to read this information directly from the Effect.
Most is just switched to the ::read(). That should be enough for all the
Effects which have a KSharedConfig::Ptr underneath. If not we just need
to find a good place to put the reload.
Instead of using EffectsHandler::sendReloadMessage we generate the dbus
interface in each plugin and call the reconfigure slot directly. That way
it's more type safe and we don't need to link kwineffects from the
configs.

There are no advantages for the effects KCM to have all the effect
config modules in one plugin.
By having a plugin per effect we can use the KPluginTrader to easily
find the configuration plugin for a given effect and load it.
To make this possible the following changes are done:
* config_builtins.cpp is deleted
* add_subdirectory is used for all effects which have a config module
* toplevel CMakeLists.txt contains the sources again for the effects
which have a config module, but effects which don't have a config
module are still included and thus the macro is still used
* plugin created for the config module, name pattern is:
kwin_effectname_config
* plugin installed to ${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR}/kwin/effects/configs
* desktop file adjusted to new plugin name and keyword removed
* desktop file converted to json as meta data and no longer installed
* Uses K_PLUGIN_FACTORY_WITH_JSON
* Macros for config are dropped from kwineffects.h
REVIEW: 116854
As all effects have always been compiled into the same .so file it's
questionable whether resolving the effects through a library is useful
at all. By linking against the built-in effects we gain the following
advantages:
* don't have to load/unload the KLibrary
* don't have to resolve the create, supported and enabled functions
* no version check required
* no dependency resolving (effects don't use it)
* remove the KWIN_EFFECT macros from the effects
All the effects are now registered in an effects_builtins file which
maps the name to a factory method and supported or enabled by default
methods.
During loading the effects we first check whether there is a built-in
effect by the given name and make a shortcut to create it through that.
If that's not possible the normal plugin loading is used.
Completely unscientific testing [1] showed an improvement of almost 10
msec during loading all the effects I use.
[1] QElapsedTimer around the loading code, start kwin five times, take
average.
