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.
gdk_enable_multidevice() has been replaced with gdk_disable_multidevice(),
so applications may call that function if they want to go back at the
previous behavior.
There would be usually little reasons to call that function, unless the
application is doing X calls itself that count on old fashioned core
devices.
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.
This removes gdk_window_shape_combine_mask() and
gdk_window_input_shape_combine_mask(). GdkBitmap is going away and a
replacement exists via the combine_region() functions and
gdk_cairo_region_create_from_surface().
The function converts the given surface into an alpha bitmap mask. This
is mostly useful for setting shape regions.
Also adds a new internal function _gdk_cairo_surface_extents() that
computes a surface's extents.
This was the last exported variable; it wasn't multihead safe,
and there's easy replacement with gdk_display_get_default().
Also drop the GDK_DISPLAY() macro which was just a wrapper around
the variable.
gdk_threads_mutex, gdk_threads_lock and gdk_threads_unlock are removed
from public API. gdk_threads_mutex was deprecated already. Instead of
using gdk_threads_lock and _unlock one was presumably supposed to use
the GDK_THREADS_ENTER and _LEAVE macros, which now simply call the
corresponding gdk_threads_enter() and _leave() functions.
Remove he dllimport/dllexport ugliness for GDK for Windows.
There is still a gdk_display variable being exported by the X11
backend.
