- 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.

disconnect_by_func() is slow, and this becomes particularly evident
when disposing a number of widgets (and their associated style
context) at once, such as when using a language binding which
uses a GC.

Fixes a tiny typo in commit f51c9d4154
which manifested itself in GtkSpinButton's panels being drawn with an
incorrect, not updated state.
This patch took me more hours than you might think! :P

Commit 719dd636a9 replaces
margin-left/right with margin-start/end. CSS does not have
margin-start/margin-end properties, the sed script was a bit overeager.
Fwiw, CSS implements RTL margin styling via :dir(rtl) selectors.
Resize modes don't work anymore, both because nobody ever uses them and
because the frame clock changed the way things work quite a bit. So we
don't want to advertise them as a good idea.

We've recently a number of classes wholly. For these cases,
move the headers and sources to gtk/deprecated/ and adjust
Makefiles and includes accordingly.
Affected classes:
GtkAction
GtkActionGroup
GtkActivatable
GtkIconFactory
GtkImageMenuItem
GtkRadioAction
GtkRecentAction
GtkStock
GtkToggleAction
GtkUIManager
This draws an icon from a cairo_surface. We want to use this more rather
than render_icon as this means we can skip the pixbuf to surface
conversion (including allocation and alpha premultiplication) at
render time, plus we can use create_similar_image which may allow
faster rendering.
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.
The following CSS would infloop:
@define-color self @self
as it would infinitely lookup the color named "self" and try to resolve
it. This patch adds detection of such cycles to the resolve function by
keeping a list of currently resolving colors in the cycle_list variable.
... instead of taking the last one we find. This is necessary as
attached widgets (mostly menus) can be attached to an invisible widget,
but we still want to invalidate styles for them.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695772
We only FORCE_INVALIDATE when something weird changes that the CSS
machinery can't detect. But now that our style_updated functions skip
recomputations when some properties don't change we want to make sure
these recomputations are still run. So we just claim all properties
changed.

Add an API to start or stop continually updating the frame clock.
This is a slight convenience for applcations and avoids the problem
of getting one more frame run after an animation stops, but the
primary motivation for this is because it looks like we might have
to use timeBeginPeriod()/timeEndPeriod() on Windows to get reasonably
accurate timing, and for that we'll need to know if there is an
animation running.

Add a very simple GtkWidget function for an "tick" callback, which
is connected to the ::update signal of GdkFrameClock.
Remove:
- GtkTimeline. The consensus is that it is too complex.
- GdkPaintClockTarget. In the rare cases where tick callbacks
aren't sufficient, it's possible to track the
paint clock with ::realize/::unrealize/::hierarchy-changed.
GtkTimeline is kept using ::update directly to allow using a GtkTimeline
with a paint clock but no widget.
Switch GtkStyleContext to using GdkFrameClock. To do this, add a new
UPDATE phase to GdkFrameClock.
Add a GdkFrameClockTarget interface with a single set_clock() method,
and use this to deal with the fact that GtkWidget only has a frame
clock when realized.

It's a lot uglier now, but it shouldn't crash anymore.
We must update the font description for animations, but we can't free it
on query, because some paths call gtk_style_context_get_font() twice in
a row without stopping the use of the first call. So us just creating a
new font description all the time and unreffing the old one is not a
good idea. So we just mere the new one into the old one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691186
This function is just a sophisitcated optimization.
If we know the GDK window's background will be opaque, we mark it as
opaque. This is so GDK can do all the optimizations it does for opaque
windows and be fast.
This is mainly used when scrolling.
The previous code didn't get this right, in particular it didn't enforce
a transparent background when it knew the background was not opaque.
This is for a very simple reason: The getter is returning a const value
and the font isn't const anymore. So we need to store the font
description somewhere but we can't reuse it as it's changing all the
time (yay animations, yay inherited values). Sucks.
So keep the hack in here but deprecate the function.
This is necessary because values in a GtkCssComputedValues can change
now. So if the font-size is inherited or animated, the cached value will
be outdated.
Fixes the fontchooser preview not updating.
Symbolic colors are an implementation detail of the CSS engine and have
been superceded by GtkCssColorValue. We don't want them clobbering the
public API. In particular because the only use I could find in the
public API is people using it to shade colors.
Make _gtk_style_provider_private_get_color() return a GtkCssValue (a
GtkCssColorValue to be exact) instead of GtkSymbolicColor.
With this, the symbolic color usage inside GTK is minimized.
If lookup->missing is empty we don't need to continue looking.
We short circuit in several places as this can happen
after iteratively makeign lookup->missing smaller.
Old code tried to use the "background-image" proeprty for setting the
default image background. While this used to work in the early days of
GTK3, today it is grossly misleading as the backgronud image may be
resized, repositioned and semi-translucent which causes very weird
artifacts when rendering.
So we use the background-color only instead.
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.
While regular animations should always be created, transitions should
not. This patch allows to express this by passing NULL as the values to
transition from.
It also adds a gtk_style_context_should_create_transitions() function
that returns TRUE when transitions should be created.
... that actually was both wrong, a performance failure and has been
there since the original checkin.
Updating the cached style data absolutely does not mean clearing all
cached style data first. There's nothing to update then.
This adds the GtkCssAnimation class and the code needed to hook it into
GtkStyleContext. It takes the values out of the CSS "animation"
properties and does animations. See
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-animations/
for details.
Note that the code for starting and stopping animations with widget
visibility doesn't work yet.
... in the case where no change of the DOM tree actually happened.
We don't do anything yet with that information, this patch just
correctly computes it.
See inline comments for what it does. Its main use is figuring out if
something has been caused by GTK's caching of CSS properties or if it's
a different problem.
Instead of using 1 global queue for both resizes and style validation,
use 2 queues. This makes the code a lot simpler and fixes a bug where we
could accidentally stop restylying for very delayed restyles.
We now animate the core style information (see comment in
gtk_style_context_save()). A lot of widgets save + set custom style
classes/states during drawing and so can't be animated. It does work for
labels, menus and buttons though.
This has two goals:
1) Move invalidation code out of a nested if branch. Invalidation is
actually the most important thing this function does.
2) Have the changes bitmask available. It will needed for invalidate
calls to children later.
The design principles were:
- synchronized
If multiple style contexts are animating, they should all do an
animation step at the same time.
- degrades well
Even when there's thousands of style contexts all animating at the same
time, the animation steps don't starve the CPU. This is achieved by
making sure the timeout is really fast. It just sets a bunch of flags.
- no hidden bottlenecks
Turning animatability on or off on a style context is O(1).
So far it is unused.
This is only a small performance boost by itself, but it's necessary
for animations, so we need it.

(*) Adwaita and unico currently use custom properties, and
_gtk_css_value_compare() for custom properties always returns FALSE,
which makes this optimization never trigger. So I modified
_gtk_css_value_compare() to return TRUE for these properties instead and
reran the benchmark. Those are the numbers.
Add an internal API that allows GtkStyleContext to create a widget path
for the widget and with that bypassing gtk_widget_get_path() and that
function caching the path.
Instead, look up the variable upon use. This is more correct (for when
the engine changes due to save/restore() shenanigans.
And it removes code that doesn't use the standard code paths.
Deprecate public API where appropriate and make it no-ops.
Remove all calls to it.
Get rid of the 'transition' css property.
For now, this means spinners don't animate anymore.
When a parent style context exists, there's no need to queue_resize() on
the widget, because the parent widget will call
gtk_style_context_validate() on us and _then_ we can call queue_resize()
if we have to.
Note: custom CSS properties still use the default GtkCssValue and always
will.
So there is a difference in css values used between those, even though
they both carry a GdkRGBA payload.
