in some cases, it may be desirable to block shape cutting for an amount of time to reduce cpu calculations. this should be set when performing any non-interactive compositor effects
* try to clear up build system for separating out ecore-x
* add #ifdefs for lots of ecore-x stuff
* break out some internal e wl functions for reuse in api
* store wl surface buffers as an inlist
* add protocol-specific client compositor data
** move lots of X client attributes here
* add pixmap type checks to a number of X-specific things, such as grabinput, to block them for non-X clients
* rearrange startup order to work with wayland
* move X screensaver code to e_comp_x
* flag modules still requiring X with -DNEED_X
given that compositing is always enabled and that it's crucial to be able to change these settings, potentially having them unavailable is not a great way to live
huge fustercluck commit because there wasn't really a way to separate out the changes. better to just rip it all out at once.
* compositor and window management completely rewritten. this was the goal for E19, but it pretty much required everything existing to be scrapped since it wasn't optimized, streamlined, or sensible. now instead of having the compositor strapped to the window manager like an outboard motor, it's housed more like an automobile engine.
** various comp structs have been merged into other places (eg. E_Comp_Zone is now just part of E_Zone where applicable), leading to a large deduplication of attributes
** awful E_Comp_Win is totally dead, having been replaced with e_comp_object smart objects which work just like normal canvas objects
** protocol-specific window management and compositor functionality is now kept exclusively in backend files
** e_pixmap api provides generic client finding and rendering api
** screen/xinerama screens are now provided directly by compositor on startup and re-set on change
** e_comp_render_update finally replaced with eina_tiler
** wayland compositor no longer creates X windows
** compositor e_layout removed entirely
* e_container is gone. this was made unnecessary in E18, but I kept it to avoid having too much code churn in one release. its sole purpose was to catch some events and handle window stacking, both of which are now just done by the compositor infra
* e_manager is just for screensaver and keybind stuff now, possibly remove later?
* e_border is gone along with a lot of its api. e_client has replaced it, and e_client has been rewritten completely; some parts may be similar, but the design now relies upon having a functional compositor
** window configuration/focus functions are all removed. all windows are now managed solely with evas_object_X functions on the "frame" member of a client, just as any other canvas object can be managed.
*** do NOT set interceptors on a client's comp_object. seriously.
* startup order rewritten: compositor now starts much earlier, other things just use attrs and members of the compositor
* ecore_x_pointer_xy_get usage replaced with ecore_evas_pointer_xy_get
* e_popup is totally gone, existing usage replaced by e_comp_object_util_add where applicable, otherwise just placed normally on the canvas
* deskmirror is (more) broken for now
* illume is totally fucked
* Ecore_X_Window replaced with Ecore_Window in most cases
* edge binding XWindows replaced with regular canvas objects
* some E_Win functionality has changed such that delete callbacks are now correctly called in ALL cases. various dialogs have been updated to not crash as a result
comp files and descriptions:
e_comp.c - overall compositor functions, rendering/update loop, shape cutting
e_comp_x.c - X window management and compositor functionality
e_comp_wl.c - Wayland surface management and compositor functionality
e_comp_canvas.c - general compositor canvas functions and utilities
e_comp_object.c - E_Client->frame member for managing clients as Evas_Objects, utility functions for adding objects to the compositor rendering systems
additional authors: ivan.briano@intel.com
feature: new compositor
removal: e_border, e_container, e_popup
* move all shape rectangle stuff into e_container_shape
* use input rects for cutting comp shape when available
* set shape changed and render queue when container shape change callbacks are called
* create fewer comp wins (small memory improvement)
by making a job to delay population we play a race condition game with
initting of other bits of e. this means the comp may or may not have
been filled by the container layer winds before other internal events
and actions start making comp wins and setting layers. this means that
things like e_comp_win_find() for a con->layers[n].win may fail... as
this has yet to be added... and thus.. we crash in startup. it's a
race condition.
so this removed the delay job and makes population of the comp
explicit. it puts the population into the hnds of the e_main init
after a manager has been created and after a container is created, and
thus laer wins created, so it can walk the x window stack correctly,
but before anything else is done. this means that we will be properly
inited at this point without a race condition.
* border->fx REMOVED, related border api REMOVED
* comp edc has new class of groups: e/comp/effects[/auto]
** these are effects which can be applied to any compositor object through the e_comp_win_effect* api and are written in embryo
*** two types - base and auto - base = manual, for use with animators; auto are "trigger and forget", for use as actual effects
* desk flip transition animations moved to comp effects and FIXED(ish)
* "zoom" effect renamed to "diagonal" for slightly less misleading name since it never did any zooming
* actual "zoom" effect added
* border hierarchy now as follows: cw->effect_obj swallows cw->shobj, cw->shobj swallows cw->bd->bg_object ?: cw->obj, if (cw->bd->bg_object) cw->bd->bg_object swallows cw->obj
** cw->effect_obj now used for all positioning and comp logic
** cw->effect_obj ONLY used for object transformation effects (moving, zooming, fading, etc)
** cw->shobj ONLY for comp visual/non-movement effects (focus effect, unfocus opacity, legacy shadows); this is a candidate for removal/rewrite in E19
* even more comp shape rewrites
* desk flip animation time now controlled by theme since edje doesn't support setting transition time in C; related config value removed
* desk flip transitions (in e_desk.c) rewritten
* various modules (evry/illume2) updated to use comp effects instead of fx offset
* desk flip configuration BROKEN(ish)
* border frame/object now drawn directly on compositor canvas
* border shadows now in border theme with edje hint, non-updated themes still receive comp object shadows FOR NOW
* e_border MOVE/RESIZE pointer mode defines are now e_pointer.h enums
* added BD_CHANGED() util macro for setting bd->changed and printing a debug line to assist in finding places where this all-important flag is wrongly set
* bd->bg_win removed entirely
* bd->pointer objects moved to compositor object; now only one pointer object exists for each compositor
* resizing windows now shows a new and totally-intended scaling effect for window contents
* some additional retooling of border deletion/free callbacks
* fixed lurking potential bug where window could recieve focus from autoraise timer after border had been deleted
* more comp shape improvements/rewrites
* desk transitions are now BROKEN(ish)
* various modules updated to not be totally broken with these changes
previously this was done in such a way that if the "owner" stacking object of an injected object was restacked, the injected object would remain at its original stacking level since it was not tethered to anything and did not have X managing stacking. now comp will anchor injected objects to the stacking container window and adjust stacking as needed for them
fixes shelf stacking in some cases
* added a number of new e_comp functions and macros
* options for disabling effects on objects: this option does not currently have any effect
* all modules which used gadcon popups have been adjusted
* all modules which used input windows to detect close events for gadcon popups have been adjusted to use new popup autoclose functionality
* shelves are now always drawn on the compositor canvas, meaning objects will never get clipped by the shelf (ticket #1810)
* shelves no longer have an event object
SVN revision: 84060
* remove xwin for container canvas: now drawn directly on the compositor canvas
* added SHAPE_DEBUG define for bored developers
* bindings now use new e struct for mouse/wheel events
* container+zone now get mouse events from smart callbacks instead of x events
* rename comp api namespace
* change comp underlay theme to have a swallow for the wallpaper
* add names to all zone/container/comp objects to make debugging much easier
* some minor related updates to go along with this
SVN revision: 83752
* Move compositor to core, but letting the configuration there
* Rename all files and functions from e_mod_comp_* to e_comp_*
* Move the config dialogs to a new module named conf_comp. It still
uses a domain config, otherwise it would not pick the current
user's configuration. Maybe it would be wise to later on move these
options to e_config
* Fixup the wizard mess linking the header in the build tree in order
to be able to create the config. Since now it's in core, we don't
need to play linking games in the build system
I'm not sure if the wayland part works. It was not even building
previously so I'll let for who cares about this to actually test and
report bugs.
