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 means the B_COLOR_WHICH_COUNT goes from being a public constant to a
private one. It sill looks like a public constant starting with a B_ though.
I hope that's not a big deal. Too bad we can't get the count of an enum.
This fixes a maintainance problem where you have to update this otherwise
unrelated file to keep it in sync whenever you add a color constant.
I've added a B_COLOR_WHICH_COUNT constant to the color_which enum which should
be updated to point to the newest color constants as new ones are added. I
reworked ServerReadOnlyMemory to use this constant instead of using to the
current largest color constant directly. If you use B_COLOR_WHICH_COUNT to
refer to a color in your code expect to get unpredictable and nonsensical
results. Most likely you'll get an undefined result which will return black
but don't depend on it.
The net effect of this is that ServerReadOnlyMemory doesn't need to be updated
anymore when new color constants are introduced but will continue to produce
correct results.
Eliminate kNumColors constant, replace it with B_COLOR_WHICH_COUNT
This allows you to change the scrollbar thumb color in Appearance preferences.
The default color is 216, 216, 216 so the scroll bar thumb looks the same by
default. Perhaps someday this can be updated to something a bit more colorful.
* The Decorator are temporarily using ui_color() - this needs to be changed
to use the DesktopSettings (when the decorator stuff gets refactored); right
now, the colors are fixed.
* Added B_WINDOW_TEXT_COLOR, B_WINDOW_INACTIVE_TAB_COLOR, and
B_WINDOW_INACTIVE_TEXT_COLOR to the UI colors, B_WINDOW_TAB_COLOR is no
longer deprecated. Note, however, that not every decorator may use these
colors.
* Removed unused and wrong (ie. hard-coded paths) stuff from ServerConfig.h.

read-only area shared between the Desktop and all applications.
* Right now, this area only contains the desktop colors, ie. B_PANEL_BACKGROUND_COLOR
etc.; ui_color() no longer needs to ask the server for these colors.
* The ui_colors are now maintained by DesktopSettings, though ColorSet is still there.
* The default colors are now hardcoded once and for everyone in InterfaceDefs.h, ie.
the app_server uses them as well.
* Desktop::Init() can now also return an error (but that is not yet accounted for).
* Cleaned up InterfaceDefs.h.
* Fixed wrong include in moreUTF8.h.
