The X11 backend exports a number of symbols which are _-prefixed
(so don't become part of the gdk api), but are not named in a
way to prevent accidental clashes between backends.
The one API change here is that the gdk_xid_table functions
have been removed - they did not server an purpose, since the
xid table only stores windows anyway, and we already have a
lookup-by-xid function for windows.
These functions were trivial g_spawn wrappers in all backends
except for X11, and they can be easily replaced by
g_app_info_create_for_commandline + GdkAppLaunchContext.
The old functions to get core pointer and devices list are gone as
well. This slice is entirely replaced internally by multidevice
handling and may just go.
This function will enable events for all devices of a given
GdkInputSource, either these available at the time of the call,
or these that are connected in the future.
You should not ever ever ever call cairo_reset_clip(). If you do, your
code is broken and you deserve everything you get.
And we should definitely not support this insanity.
This new function takes a GdkRGBA in order to set the background to
an alpha color. Keep in mind that RGBA visuals and a composited environment
are still necessary to have an alpha background displayed.
GdkRGBA is a boxed struct similar to GdkColor, with the difference
that it stores alpha information as well, and colors are stored in
[0..1] doubles, in the cairo spirit.
gdk_cairo_set_source_rgba() has been also added to allow easier handling
of this new type.
The feature can and should be implemented manually using
gdk_window_get_background() and Cairo drawing. A non-cairo drawing API
does not make sense in GDK anymore.
In particular, the following functions are gone:
- gdk_screen_get_default_colormap()
- gdk_screen_set_default_colormap()
- gdk_screen_get_system_colormap()
- gdk_screen_get_rgba_colormap()
The 3 functions in question were:
- gdk_pixbuf_render_threshold_alpha()
- gdk_pixbuf_render_pixmap_and_mask()
- gdk_pixbuf_render_pixmap_and_mask_for_colormap()
All of them can be replaced using Cairo if they have to. The
functionality is only needed to talk to old X interfaces and normal apps
do fine without them.
Now the window background is a cairo_pattern_t. The backends will try to
set this as good as they can on the windowing system, but no guarantees
are made on wether the windowing system supports the pattern.
Also gets rid of GDK_NO_BG as undefined behavior is not a good idea to
support, and GDK_NO_BG effectively made the window's contents undefined.
It wasn't effectively used in GTK anyway.
