Currently, initially maximized (or fullscreen) xdg-shell views exhibit
one of two issues:
- some (e.g. GTK and Qt apps) paint an initial frame un-maximized
(before the "map" event) and only maximize in a later commit
- others (e.g. foot) maximize immediately without flicker, but never
store a valid natural size, so we end up using a fallback (640x480)
Under KWin, neither of these issues occur, so I looked into what labwc
is doing wrong. It seems that:
- wlroots internally sends an initial configure event with a size of
0x0 to all xdg-shell views. This requests the client to set its own
preferred (a.k.a. natural) size.
- For an initially maximized/fullscreen view, the initial configure
event should contain the maximized/fullscreen size rather than 0x0.
In labwc, this means we have to call wlr_xdg_toplevel_set_size()
earlier, i.e. from the new_surface event. Tracing with WAYLAND_DEBUG
shows that the initial configure event now has the correct geometry,
matching KWin behavior. With this change, GTK and Qt apps no longer
paint an incorrect un-maximized frame.
- However, this means that all xdg-shell views now suffer from the same
issue as foot, where we never receive a commit with the un-maximized
(natural) geometry. The correct way to get the natural geometry seems
to be to wait until we want to un-maximize, and send a configure
event of 0x0 at that point.
Sending a configure event of 0x0 when un-maximizing is a bit annoying as
it breaks some assumptions in labwc code. In particular:
- view->natural_geometry may now be unknown (0x0), requiring various
wlr_box_empty() checks sprinkled around. I added these in all the
obvious places, but there could be some code paths that I missed.
- Positioning the newly un-maximized view within view_maximize() no
longer works since we don't know the natural size. Instead we have to
run the positioning logic from the surface commit handler. This
results in some extra complexity, especially for interactive move.
See the new do_late_positioning() function in xdg.c.
Some TODOs/FIXMEs (non-blocking in my opinion):
- The view_wants_decorations() check is now duplicated in both the
new_surface and map event handlers. I'm not sure if this is necessary
but it seemed like the safest approach for now. More testing would be
nice, particularly with various combinations of config and client SSD
preferences.
- Aside from the interactive move case, the "late positioning" logic
always centers the view when un-maximizing, and does not invoke any
of the smart placement logic. If we want to invoke smart placement
here, I'd appreciate someone with more knowledge of that code to take
a look and figure out how to do that correctly.
See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3514
which added support on the wlroots side.
We now re-run popup positioning (for both xdg-shell and layer-shell
popups) when the "reposition" event is received. This allows popups that
change size (such as qmpanel's applications menu) to be positioned
correctly.
xdg-shell v3 also gives the compositor some additional "hints" for popup
positioning (reactive, parent_size, and parent_configure_serial) which
are available but we don't make use of currently.
Gamma changes take another code path and thus did not
render the magnifier. This patch consalidates both
code paths and therefore also renders the magnifier on
gamma changes.

...when cycling windows. Also make the toggling of direction when shift
is pressed relative to the initial direction. For example if W-j is
bound to PreviousWindow, subsequent key presses will continue to
cycle backwards unless shift if pressed.
Add documentation for using shift/arrow keys in Next/Previous
<resize><drawContents>[yes|no] configures whether to let the clients
redraw its window content content while resizing.
When <resize><drawContents> is set to no, a multi-rect is shown to
indicate the geometry of the resized window.
As wlr_xwayland caches the pixel data when not yet started
up due to the delayed lazy startup approach, we do have to
re-set the xwayland cursor image when reloading the cursor
theme. Otherwise the first X11 client connected will cause
the xwayland server to use the cached (and destroyed) pixel
data.
To reproduce:
- Compile with b_sanitize=address,undefined
- Start labwc (nothing in autostart that could create
a X11 connection, e.g. no GTK or X11 application)
- Reconfigure
- Start some X11 client
...to make keybind actions fire on the release event rather then when the
key is first pressed. This is useful for binding actions to modifier keys
only. The most likely use-case for this is the binding of a Super key to a
menu, for example:
<keybind key="Super_L" onRelease="yes">
<action name="Execute" command="rofi -show drun"/>
</keybind>
If another keybind is issued between the press and release, the on-release
keybind is cancelled.

... at the same time. Omit cursor notifications from
a pointer when a tablet tool (stylus/pen) is in
proximity. We expect to get cursor notifications
from the tablet tool instead.
- Replaced `session_lock` with `session_lock_manager` which is
persistent throughout the session.
- Replaced `session_lock->abandoned` with `session_lock_manager->locked`.
Old `session_lock->abandoned` is equal to
`!session_lock_manager->lock && session_lock_manager->locked`.
- Eliminated the use of global variables in `session-lock.c`.
- Changed some function names.
Similar like touch, this is guarded by checking if
a surface accepts the tablet protocol. Also reuse
common cursor logic.
Intialize tablet tools on proximity.
Notify idle manager about activity on events.
We didn't support multiple IME popups since input-method-v2 protocol
has no way to position them individually, but we should support it to
provide IME developers with more programming flexibility.
We currently only support cursor emulation
for absolute motion, thus ignore tools/pens
that use relative motion.
Add a log statement on proximity-in to give
some feedback.
This adds a screen magnifier which can be controlled with the
`ZoomIn` / `ZoomOut` and `ToggleMagnify` actions.
It scales up part of the rendered framebuffer so the magnification
may end up looking blurry depending on the magnification scale.

This gives instant feedback when changing cursor theme or size.
It only works for server side cursors or clients using the
cursor-shape protocol.

Addresses UX degradation introduced by commit 1d3ed457.
This prevents clicks with small movement with the intention of opening
the menu from unexpectedly closing the menu or selecting a menu item.
Add optional drop-shadows to windows using server-side decoration.
Shadows can be enabled/disabled rc.xml and their appearance configured
in themerc. The default is no shadows to preserve current behaviour.
The shadows are drawn in fixed corner and edge buffers shared between
all windows, the edges are scaled to size depending on the size of each
window. Two sets of buffers are used to give the different appearances
for active and inactive windows. I use separate corner/edge buffers for
a few reasons:
- It avoids needing to store a separate large shadow buffer per window
- It avoids needing to redraw the shadows when the window is being
resized
- Compositing the shadows onto the desktop should be faster as there are
overall fewer pixels to blend, and scaling up the edge buffers only
requires reading a tiny buffer which is then replicated.
Filled/outlined rectangles shown as snapping overlay are now enabled/disabled
independently with `snapping.overlay.[region|edge].bg.enabled` and
`snapping.overlay.[region|edge].border.enabled`.
To keep the default behavior, `*.bg.enabled` is yes and `*.border.enabled` is
no for hardware-based renderers, while `*.bg.enabled` is no and
`*.border.enabled` is yes for software-based (pixman) renderer.
Users can now use a filled rectangle as an overlay even with pixman renderer.
However, this may severely impact performance when used with translucent
`snapping.overlay.[region|edge].bg.color`.
This commit includes a refactor to use substruct `theme_snapping_overlay`
inside `theme` in order to pass it to `create_overlay_rect()` in a cleaner way.
Breaking changes is:
- `snapping.overlay.[region|edge].fill` is now removed.
Replace "preview" in rc.xml and themerc with "overlay" since "preview" sounds
like it shows the window content.
Breaking changes are:
- `snapping.preview.*` in themerc is now replaced with `snapping.overlay`.
- `<snapping><preview>` in rc.xml is now replaced with `<snapping><overlay>`.
Before this patch, labwc would happily kill itself when the user
called the `Kill` action when any xwayland view had focus.
The reason this happened was that wlroots creates the xwayland
wayland client via socketpair() and thus a lookup of the pid
of the socket connection would return the pid of labwc itself.
This patch fixes that by implementing different pid lookup
mechanisms based on the view implementation backend.
Fixes: #1739
Changes in `<desktops><names>` or `<desktop><number="" prefix="">` required
restarting labwc to take effect.
This commit adds `workspaces_reconfigure()` to update `server->workspaces` on
Reconfigure.
There were some missing headers like <stddef.h> for `NULL`, <wayland-util.h>
for `wl_link` and <stdbool.h> for `true`/`false`.
Also this commit fixes that `labwc.h` and `ime.h` included each other.
This allows to ignore X11 client side configure requests
like positioning and resizing and can be used to fight
some X11 applications that persist to have their windows
spawn at specific places and sizes.
Fixes: #1446
Add a BUF_INIT macro, which makes it easier to initialize a struct buf
to an empty string (without a heap allocation).
Add buf_move() to move the contents of one struct buf to another (the
source is reset to BUF_INIT, analogous to C++ move-assignment).
Use buf_reset() instead of directly calling `free(s->buf)` since the
internal buf may not always be allocated by malloc() now.
