GtkStyleContext was not properly handling the style cascade when
setting a screen, causing the inspector global CSS to affect the
inspector window, even though the inspector is using a different
screen now.
... and make it the default. This takes over the meaning from "none" for
this property in that it draws the fallback builtin image.
"none" now literally means no image will be drawn.
When a getter function (like get_color()) is called and the passed in
state doesn't match the current state returned via get_state(), we used
to do a trick: We called save()/set_state() on the context before
getting the values.
Unfortunately, since 3a337156d1 this
has the unfortunate side effect that it also creates a child element.
This breaks various old codebases (spinbutton has been fixed in
998feeb2bc, Webkit is fixed in
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137803 ) unfortunately.
So instead, look up the values manually ensuring that no child element
is created but the correct state is used.
Keeping them is a bad idea now where the widget paths are actually
changed by a save(). And almost all of the time, state or style classes
will be changed anyway.
Looking them up again is just a hash table lookup anyway.
GtkCssNodeDeclaration is a new struct with copy-on-write semantics.
It encapsulated the properties used to define a node in the CSS tree.
The idea is to use it in various places for caching, in particular as
key in hash tables.
This is a change for how CSS is applied.
Previously, subelements (I'll take GtkEntry icons as an example) were
treated as having the same parent as the regular elements. So a selector
such as
.entry
would match an entry inside a window. But it'd also match the icon image
inside the entry. So CSS like
.entry { padding: 10px; }
would add 10px of padding to both the entry itself and to the icon image
inside the entry, so the icon would effective have 20px padding. To get
around that, one would have to unset it again like so:
.entry { padding: 10px; }
.entry.image { padding: unset; }
This is getting more and more of a problem as we make subelements
respect more properties that aren't inherited by default anyway, like
backgrounds and padding/margin/border.
This patch has one caveat though: It makes calling
gtk_style_context_save() the first time have an important side effect.
It's important to audit code to make sure it is only used for
subelements.
And last but not least, this patch is only useful if code unsets
parent's style classes that it doesn't want to apply any longer. Because
style classes are inherited by default (and I don't think we want to
change that), the example will still apply until the subelements no
longer contain the .entry style class.
- gtk_style_context_get_background_color()
- gtk_style_context_get_border_color()
Those functions shouldn't be used anymore, because they don't represent
anything from the CSS styling we support. The background color often
isn't used due to background images and there are actually 4 different
border colors (1 for each side) - if there isn't also a border image in
use.
This was introduced as a hackish way in 3.6 to make font updates
propagate properly. But since then, font handling has been changed and
this flag is no longer necessary.
gtk_style_context_invalidate_internal() will respect only the current
saved state of the style context, which is wrong when updating the scale.
In that case, the whole style context needs updating.
Now that widget paths are allowed to have a state, use that state when
querying style properties. This uses a fast path in gtkcssprovider.c and
that is great.
Don't take a state when constructing the CSS matcher. Instead, rely on
the newly introduced state in the widget path.
This way, the state can be queried not only on the first element, but on
all elements of the widget path.
Set the widget path state flags with the state flags of the style
context.
We do not update the state flags but replace the previous one because we
want to be able to have save()/restore() unset state flags.
When validating the style context, we are copying the animations
from one StyleValues instance to another, and cancel the old ones.
It turns out that sometimes the old and the new StyleValues are
the same, and in this case, we end up cancelling the animations
for good.
One case where breakage from this was observed is that the spinners
in gtk3-widget-factory stop spinning when you open and close a modal
dialog on page 2. This depends a bit on the window manager; the problem
can only be seen if opening the dialog causes a transition to backdrop.
Regions are done in a very non-css way. They don't fit the DOM in that
they don't integrate into the CSS tree and they have very weird matching
behavior in selectors.
So I'm deprecating them now. GtkNotebook and GtkTreeview will continue
to use them and as long as they do, we can't remove the code for it.
But once those are ported it might be safe to remove the code as it will
clean up lots of places in the code by quite a bit.
... from per style data to only existing once per style context. This is
technically an API break because it no longer allows getting different
style properties between save()/restore() pairs, but I don't think this
was ever intended to work that way, as the style property API was to be
used and is used via gtk_widget_get_style().
And it simplifies code a lot.
Add two new icon lookup flags, GTK_ICON_LOOKUP_DIR_LTR and _RTL,
which tell GtkIconTheme to look for icon variants which have a
-ltr or -rtl suffix. GtkIconHelper adds these lookup flags when
looking up icons.
Note that due to the way this overlaps with symbolic icon lookup,
directional variants of symbolic icons must be called -symbolic-rtl, not
-rtl-symbolic.
