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.
<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.
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
This is undesired when a focusable popup (e.g. applications menu) of an
unfocusable view (e.g. XWayland panel) is closed.
This reverts commit f6e3527767.
Support `wrap` in view_get_adjacent_output(). This means that when seeking
an adjacent output in a particular direction from an output that is
already furthest in that direction within the layout, rather than
returning NULL, wrap around from the leftmost to the rightmost, or topmost
to the bottommost and vice versa.
Example usage:
<action name="MoveToOutput" direction="right" wrap="yes" />
Wrap is disabled by default to keep the user interface consistent.
...to edges actually encountered by motion during interactive moves and
resizes.
In addition, ignore edge resistance and attraction for minimized views.
This builds on the work of @Consolatis in #1018.

Whenever the output layout changes, each view's original geometry will
be captured as last_layout_geometry (if it has not already been captured
by a previous layout change), which will remain valid unless the user
modifies the view's geometry (i.e., by tiling, maximizing, moving,
resizing or full-screening). On subsequent output layout changes, views
with valid last_layout_geometry will be back to their original position
if possible, or else to the closest possible output.
Need to handle new unified mapping, where mapping is attached to the
wlr_surface objects instead of their parents. Also, most of them require
a new associate event for xsurface objects, their surface member will be
NULL before this event is received.
Refactored by jlindgren:
- add struct mappable
- unify map/unmap logic
1. Prevent window snapping triggered by mouse from moving the window
into the adjacent output.
2. Make the coordinates used to check whether window snapping is
triggered relative to the output the cursor is at, not the output the
view is belonging to. This allows users to grab a tiled window and move
it into another output or tile it again in another output in a single
drag.
The top_left_edge_boundary_check() function in xwayland.c ensures that
views trying to position themselves at 0,0 don't end up with a titlebar
offscreen. However, it doesn't take into account the usable area and
thus these views can still end up overlapping a top panel.
Also, there is no good reason for top_left_edge_boundary_check() to be
xwayland-specific. This logic should really be part of
view_adjust_for_layout_change().
To fix all this, add a new view_adjust_floating_geometry() function,
which replaces the existing similar (and duplicated) logic in
view_apply_natural_geometry() and view_adjust_for_layout_change().
view_adjust_for_layout_change() is already being called from xwayland's
set_initial_position(), so top_left_edge_boundary_check() is now
redundant and can just be deleted.
Lightly tested with waybar and feh --geometry 640x480+0+0. The feh
window is now correctly positioned below waybar, even if started before
waybar (in that case, the feh window is moved when waybar starts).
Fixes#1076
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.
The type enum view_edge used to be defined in a .c file, so a
structure member 'tiled' in struct view had to be defined to
use another type.
Later (2023-08-02, commit 1ee8715) the definition of enum view_edge
was moved to view.h, so now 'tiled' can be defined to use that type.
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
