The cached top coordinate of each BListItem isn't updated when you
change the height of the item, leading to confusing highlighting and
incorrect mouse clicks. Rather than fixing it, this just documents a
workaround or two to force an update of the cached coordinates.
Since the "Layout" group is a member of the "Interface" group,
Doxygen automatically adds the "Interface" group to all pages
in the "Layout" group, meaning that having an explicit "ingroup Interface"
created duplicate group tags.
border vs. borders is confusing.
BTabView: Rename border param to borderStyle
BTabView docs: rename border param to borderStyle
enumerate border styles in docs
...instead of doubleBuffered for the flag that specifies whether or not to
draw using an offscreen buffer.
Also remove the (not currently used) text from the docs since the parameter
is being used.
The inseparable changes necessary to support live color updating across the
system in a sane, safe, and performant manner.
BView gains:
HasSystemColors()
HasDefaultColors()
AdoptSystemColors()
AdoptParentColors()
AdoptViewColor(BView*)
SetViewUIColor(color_which, float tint)
SetHighUIColor(...
SetLowUIColor(...
ViewUIColor(float* tint)
HighUIColor(...
LowUIColor(...
DelayedInvalidate()
BWindow gains a simple helper method:
IsOffscreenWindow()
BMessage gains:
AddColor()
FindColor()
GetColor()
HasColor() * allegedly this API is deprecated, but I implemented it anyway
ReplaceColor()
SetColor()
Previous private ColorTools methods are made public and moved into GraphicsDefs:
mix_color, blend_color, disable_color
These are fully compatible with BeOS dan0 R5.1 methods and are just code cleanup
of BeOS example code under the OpenTracker license.
In addition, four new colors are created:
B_LINK_TEXT_COLOR
B_LINK_HOVER_COLOR
B_LINK_ACTIVE_COLOR
B_LINK_VISITED_COLOR
These changes are documented in their proper user documentation files.
In addition, due to a history rewrite, B_FOLLOW_LEFT_TOP has been defined and
used in lieu of B_FOLLOW_TOP | B_FOLLOW_LEFT and is included in this commit.
On the app_server side, the following has changed:
Add DelayedMessage - a system by which messages can be sent at a scheduled time,
and can also be merged according to set rules. A single thread is used to service the
message queue and multiple recipients can be set for each message.
Desktop gains the ability to add message ports to a DelayedMessage so that
said messages can target either all applications or all windows, as needed.
Desktop maintains a BMessage which is used to queue up all pending color changes
and the delayed messaging system is used to enact these changes after a short
period of time has passed. This prevents abuse and allows the system to merge
repeated set_ui_color events into one event for client applications, improving
performance drastically.
In addition, B_COLORS_UPDATED is sent to the BApplication, which forwards the message
to each BWindow. This is done to improve performance over having the app_server
independently informing each window.
Decorator changes are live now, which required some reworking.

This was available in R5 but somehow went missing from our version of
the Be Book (it is documented in the release notes in Tycom Systems
version). Document the more important methods of it, at least.
... based on Adrien's suggestions.
* Add \warning back to BView::ResizeToPreferred(), add \remark to highlight
methods only appropriate to use as part of a BLayout.
* Clarify BView::SetFont() method and refer to BFont docs.
* Clarify BStringView::SetText(), Text(), and Draw().
* add field descriptions for BStringView::Instantiate().
