this should keep the perfromance of the prior commit
f80f73a7c9 and now get quality back by
generating thumbnails at higher resolution then scaling down from there.
@fix
bgp[review uses livethumb. livethumb by definition uses an image
canvas with a sw engine and thus not only renders the bg with another
engine, it also is causing continual texture uploads thanks to the
pager and this shows clearly on slow systems. this causes memory
duplication for the same wallpaper as ever bg has its own canvas and
buffer etc.
this does come with a quality drop though and that's up for debate. we
COULD use something else like a proxy or map in between to force a
higher "virtual" res vs output. but for now at least this solves both
a memory bloat issue and a performance problem.
@fix
if the option to always raise a window on click is enabled, clicking an internal
window in a way which creates another window will cause a race condition where
the clicked window is raised over the newly created window
there is no obvious policy-wide solution to this issue, but making this change
at least resolves the issue in question
fix T3210
this allows video files to be played for wapapers - they loop and run
indefinitely. it is a special video object that shares the same source
across all outputs, so if you have the same video set, on 2 screens
(or desktops) then it's only decoded once and uses proxies to
ducplicate. this works in the pager too (it uses proxies).
this is for amusement and fun and ... because we can. :)
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
