This property is necessary to ensure widgets automatically update after
the text scale factor is changed desktop-wide.
And if I'm already doing a property like this, I can make it
overridable. So now you can override the dpi per-widget with CSS like
GtkSwitch {
-gtk-dpi: 48;
}
if you want to debug things.
Long-term, we want to get rid of this property and insist on dpi being
96 everywhere and people can change the font size to get larger fonts.
We need to be able to compute different GtkCssImage values
depending on the scale, and we need this at compute time so that
we don't need to read any images other than the scale in used (to
e.g. calculate the image size). GtkStyleProviderPrivate is shared
for all style contexts, so its not right.
We now support the keywords (like xx-small, medium, larger, smaller...)
and I've changed the default value to be "medium".
This required some shuffling of the "get default font size" code. But
all is well now.
The default font is no longer handled like a custom style sheet that
overrides everything, but as the initial value. This is the same
behavior as in web browsers.
And it allows the theme to actually use the 'font-family' and
'font-size' properties. Of course, a well behaved theme will respect the
setting as much as possible and for example use relative font sizes
(which aren't yet supported, but will be soon).
... so we don't bump a refcount whenever we get the initial singleton.
We want to use this function instead of
_gtk_css_style_property_get_initial_value() everywhere where we compute
values, because some initial values may depend on settings soon.
Here's the shortest description of the bug I can come up with:
When computing values, we have 3 kinds of dependencies:
(1) other properties ("currentColor" or em values)
(2) inherited properties ("inherit")
(3) generic things from the theme (@keyframes or @define-color)
Previously, we passed the GtkStyleContext as an argument, because it
provided these 3 things using:
(1) _gtk_style_context_peek_property()
(2) _gtk_style_context_peek_property(gtk_style_context_get_parent())
(3) context->priv->cascade
However, this makes it impossible to lookup values other than the ones
accessible via _gtk_style_context_peek_property(). And this is exactly
what we are doing in gtk_style_context_update_cache(). So when the cache
updates encountered case (1), they were looking up the values from the
wrong style data.
So this large patch essentially does nothing but replace the
context argument in all compute functions with new arguments for the 3
cases above:
(1) values
(2) parent_values
(3) provider
We apparently have a lot of computing code.
This is to allow animating arrays properly. I'm not really thrilled
about this solution (we leak propertys into the values again...), but
it's the best I can come up with - I prefer it to having N different
array types...
When values are computed, they might depend on various other values and
we need to track this so we can update the values when those other
values change. This is the first step in making that happen.
This patch does not do any dependency tracking at all, instead it uses
GTK_CSS_DEPENDS_ON_EVERYTHING as a sort of FIXME.
This is a reorganization of how value computing should be done.
Previously the GtkCssStyleProperty.compute vfunc was supposed to take
care of special cases when it needed those for computation. However,
this proved to be very complicated in cases where values were nested and
only the last value (of a common type) needed to be special cased.
A common example for this was the fallback handling for unresolvable
colors.
Now, we pass the property's ID along with all compute functions so we
can do the special casing where it's necessary.
Note that no actual changes happen in this commit. This will happen in
follow-ups.
This commit is essentially a large reorganization. Instead of all value
subtypes having their own compute function, there is the general
_gtk_css_value_compute() function that then calls a vfunc on the
subtype.
Returns a value that transitions between start and end or %NULL if the
values cannot be transitioned.
So far, all implementations but numbers and rgba return NULL.
For now, we return FALSE for all default css values, so this is not very
useful.
I also think of this as an optimization equal, not a guaranteed equal,
because we don't even have a notion of what "equal" means.
For example, for background-repeat, "repeat, repeat" and "repeat"
are functionally equivalent. But the cssvalue has no idea that it's used
for background-repeat.
As a more complicated example, "repeat, no-repeat" and "repeat" are
equal to what one sees as long as there's only one image listed
background-image-source. But once you start transition'ing to an image
with 2 sources, it's different...
