<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.
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.
PR #1774
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.
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>`.
Add custom field with subset of printf style formatting
to replace the original field formats.
Example:
<windowSwitcher preview="no" outlines="no" allWorkspaces="yes">
<fields>
<field content="custom" format="foobar %b %3s %-10o %-20W %-10i%t" width="100%" />
</fields>
</windowSwitcher>
Mono space font recommended. May need OSD width adjusted

...and unify region overlay and snap-to-edge overlay into overlay.c.
Snap-to-edge overlay is delayed for 500ms to prevent flickering when
the view is dragged from an output to another (demo in discussion labwc#1613).
This also fixes a bug that region overlay is not shown when a modifier
key is re-pressed.
Also share common config option (rc.window_switcher.criteria) in osd.c and
desktop.c to make sure the window lists are always consistent.
Configure with `<windowSwitcher allWorkspaces="yes|no">`
This builds on the work of @Consolatis in #1018.

It is nice to have finer granularity for device types to allow for
configurations such as using `naturalScroll` on touchpads, but not on
regular pointer devices such as mice.
The AutoPlace action will apply placement_find_best() to an active view,
moving it to a position on its output that will minimize overlap with
other views.

Regression notice: For anyone using ‘identifier’ in window-switcher field configuration, change it to ‘trimmed_identifier’.
...to address regression introduced by 57075ce and enables panel/desktop
clients which rely on window rules to remain in the same position when
the usable-area changes (normally because an exclusive layer-shell
clients is started/finished).
Also disallows interactive move/resize, for example by alt +
mouse-press.

It can be enabled with a config like
~/.config/labwc/rc.xml:
<keyboard layoutScope="window">
~/.config/labwc/environment:
XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=de,us
XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
With a configuration like this each window should now remember
the active keyboard layout when switching between windows.
By default, the keyboard layout keeps being a global state.
This is a useful (if lesser-known) feature of at least a few popular X11
window managers, for example Openbox and XFWM4. Typically right-click on
the maximize button toggles horizontal maximize, while middle-click
toggles vertical maximize.
Support in labwc uses the same configuration syntax as Openbox, where the
Maximize/ToggleMaximize actions have an optional "direction" argument:
horizontal, vertical, or both (default). The default mouse bindings match
the XFWM4 defaults (not sure what Openbox has by default).
Most of the external protocols still assume "maximized" is a Boolean,
which is no longer true internally. For the sake of the outside world,
a view is only "maximized" if maximized in both directions.
Internally, I've taken the following approach:
- SSD code decorates the view as "maximized" (i.e. hiding borders) only
if maximized in both directions.
- Layout code (interactive move/resize, tiling, etc.) generally treats
the view as "maximized" (with the restrictions that entails) if
maximized in either direction. For example, moving a vertically-
maximized view first restores the natural geometry (this differs from
Openbox, which instead allows the view to move only horizontally.)
v2: use enum view_axis for view->maximized
v3:
- update docs
- allow resizing if partly maximized
- add TODOs & corrections noted by Consolatis
With the new keepBorder option enabled, the
ToggleDecorations action now has 3 states:
- the first time only disables the titlebar
- the second time disables the whole SSD
- the third time enables the whole SSD again
When the keepBorder action is disabled, the old 2-state
behavior is restored, e.g. the ToggleDecorations action
only toggles between on and off.
Fixes#813
