* Add new methods
BView::BeginLayer(uint8 opacity)
BView::EndLayer()
* All drawing between begin and end of a layer is redirected onto an
intermediate bitmap. When ending the layer, this bitmap is
composited onto the view with the opacity given when the layer was
started.
* Layers can be nested arbitrarily and will be blended onto each
other in order. There can also be any arbitrary interleaving of
layer begin/end and drawing operations.
* Internally, drawing commands are redirected into a BPicture between
BeginLayer and EndLayer (but client code need not know or care
about this). Client code can also start/end other BPictures while
inside a layer.
* Uses the PictureBoundingBoxPlayer to determine the size of the
layer bitmap before allocating and drawing into it, so it does not
allocate more memory than necessary and -- more importantly -- it
will not alpha-composite more pixels than necessary.
* Drawing mode is always set to B_OP_ALPHA, blend mode to
(B_PIXEL_ALPHA, B_ALPHA_COMPOSITE) while inside layers. This is
necessary for (a) correct compositing output and (b) for
redirection of drawing into the intermediate bitmap, which uses the
renderer_region offset (in B_OP_COPY, the Painter does not use the
AGG renderer methods, it directly accesses the pixel data. This
would access out-of-bounds without the offset, so B_OP_COPY cannot
be allowed.)
To ensure these modes aren't changed, BView::SetDrawingMode()
and BView::SetBlendingMode() are ignored while inside a layer.
* The main motivation behind this new API is WebKit, which internally
expects such a layers functionality to be present. A performant and
reusable implementation of this functionality can only be done
server-side in app_server.
* This also fixes the shutdown process, as the registrar no longer
kills the app_server.
* Removed SERVER_PORT_NAME definition as it has no use anymore.
* BView gets SetFillRule/FillRule methods. The fill rule is part of the
view state.
* The B_NONZERO rule is the default. This is what we implemented before.
* The B_EVEN_ODD rule is the other common possibility for this, and
we need to support it to help WebKit to render properly.
Everything untested, but compiles, so it must work. The idea is to introduce
BAffineTransform additionally to the existing Origin and Scale properties of
BViews. One may use it in parallel or as an alternative. Painter in app_server
is not yet aware of the additional transformation. It is however already used
to transform drawing coordinates. It probably needs to work differently,
perhaps only in Painter and AGGTextRenderer.
This also matches the client_window_info.show_hide_level field used in Deskbar
and other applications.
While doing this, keep fShowLevel fully in sync between BWindow and app_server,
use one message type for both hiding and showing, and make the decision to show
and hide the window in the app_server.
Lastly make minimize behave as described in the Be Book: hidden windows cannot
be minimized, and minimized windows which get hidden become unminimized.
* The areas allocated for BBitmaps were never deleted, even though the
app_server deleted its part when the memory got freed.
* This resulted in a constant memory increase if the application in question
would operate on many changing large bitmaps, like photos.
* Since the bitmaps are reference counted, we don't actually know when to delete
the areas, so that the app_server now notifies the client whenever that is
possible.
* This might fix#6824.
* Extended app_server_debug command to be able to send it, too.

* Added app_server_debug command that currently just sends this command to the
specified teams.

InterfaceDefs.h and corresponding implementation in the app_server. Thanks a
bunch! Closes ticket #5978.
A note to those using "update-all" with hybrid builds - the alternative GCC
system libs will not be updated this way, and this and Wim's last patch
change the libbe <-> app_server interface. You need to manually update the
respective libbe.so, or do a clean build, otherwise apps for the other GCC will
not start anymore.

takes such an id.
* Reused the existing mechanism to to have hardcoded tokens for the system
cursors, i.e. removed cursor_which enumeration from ServerProtocol.h and
used BCursorID where cursor_which was previously used.
* Reworked CursorManager.h and CursorSet.h accordingly and removed some methods
that where intended to replace system cursors with client cursors, since
those would break the reference counting and forget to maintain the cursor
list.
* Replaced the cursors in CursorData.h/cpp with the new ones I just designed.
* Removed HaikuSystemCursor.h and HaikuLogo.h from the source, as those are/were
no longer used.
I hope I will not get too much beating for this one... :-) I know the new
default cursor is slightly larger, but I believe the old one was just too small.
Also I noticed that the cursor may be slightly too dark, at least the old one
seems noticeably brighter when compared side by side (the new one has a slight
gradient). That is something I may correct at least. Otherwise I hope nothing
is broken, I've tested in QEMU and so far everything works as intended.

workspace activation message was asynchronous, whether or not the
BWindowScreen stopped drawing in time was pure luck (this also caused crashes
with the VESA driver, as that one unmaps its frame buffer during mode switch).
Introduced a new AS_DIRECT_SCREEN_LOCK protocol for this.
* In the long term, we should let BWindowScreen use the same mechanism as
BDirectWindows, though.
* Removed superfluous locking in BDirectWindow::_InitData().

make it work, one would need to use versioning for all libbe symbols. This is
worth an 8k price per file that links against libbe.so, so I didn't want to
commit this as is. An alternative to this solution would be to write a
separate application that is responsible for the app_server's window. Comments
welcome.
* Removed BeOS compatbility of the libbe_test stuff.
* Renamed the libbe_test targets from *haiku* to *test*, ie. libbe_haiku.so is
now called libbe_test.so, haiku_registrar is now test_registrar, etc.
* This also removes BeOS compatibility from tracker/FSUtils.cpp (all BeOS
compatibility should be removed, but I don't want to make Alexandre more work
in his branch, and it's not urgent at all).
* Replaced the former "run" scripts for the test environment with a single
run script (see updated NOTES file).
* Removed the libbe_test target from some applications - this was only to help
developing them under BeOS, and is thus no longer necessary.

window of the view into the application thread. This solves the
race condition with asynchronous SetViewCursor and deleting the
cursor immediately afterwards for real.
* The ServerApp now requires a reference to the current cursor,
just in case...
* Added TODOs for caching the BView token, it's currently resolved
for every single BView call that talks to the server... not good!

SetViewCursor() calls is always working as it is intended.

a message.
* The DesktopSettings class is now using that to send the new
AS_SYSTEM_FONT_CHANGED message to all windows.
* The ServerWindow now propagates font changes to its decorator, causing it
to update its drawing. That means changing the bold font in the "Fonts"
preferences application will instantly change all window titles.
* Factored out a _RebuildAndRedrawAfterWindowChange() out of several Desktop
methods, simplifying some code.
* The DefaultDecorator no longer calls _DoLayout() twice (through SetLook()),
but instead calls the new _UpdateFont() method now also called by
FontsChanged(), and SetLook().
* BWindow::GetDecoratorSettings() now also includes "tab frame" BRect with the
exact footprint of the tab, allowing apps to know the size of the tab to
position itself accordingly.
* Automatic white space cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@28664 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Implemented BGradient, BGradientLinear, BGradientRadial,
BGradientDiamond, BGradientConic and BGradientRadialFocus
new Interface Kit classes.
* Implemented all the (AGG-based) backend necessary in
the app_server to render gradients (Painter, DrawingEngine)
* app_server/View can convert a BGradient layout to screen
coordinates.
* Added BGradient methods of the Fill* methods in BView.
* Implemented a test app and added it to the image as a
demo.
* Adopted Icon-O-Matic and libs/icon in order to avoid
clashing with the new BGradient class. Re-use some
parts where possible.
Awesome work, Artur! Thanks a lot. Now a more modern
looking GUI has just become much easier to implement! :-)
TODO:
* Remove the need to have gradient type twice in the
app_server protocol.
* Refactor some parts of the patch to remove duplicated
code (Painter, DrawingEngine).
* Adopt the BPicture protocol to know about BGradients.
* Review some parts of the BArchivable implementation.

get_window_order() will retrieve the application respectively window order
on the selected workspace.
* Moved private BeOS compatible functions (as used by the Deskbar) into the
private WindowInfo.h header.
* Whitespace cleanup.

* Simplified the subpixel related methods for the AGG "pixel format" template
interface, the ones for the solid cover simply pass through the existing
methods, so only one subpixel blending function is left which does the actual
work (this removes a lot of the previously added code)
* Implemented a new rasterizer based on the original AGG rasterizer which
implements subpixel anti-aliasing for any generic AGG vector pipelines. It
is now optionally used in Painter and AGGTextRenderer (for vector fonts, ie
rotated, sheared or big enough fonts) depending on the global subpixel
setting.
* Put all subpixel variables into the new GlobalSubpixelSettings.h|cpp
* Simplified DesktopSettings related classes a bit and renamed previous
FontSubpixelAntialiasing to just SubpixelAntialiasing.
* The private libbe functions for subpixel related settings moved from Font.cpp
to InterfaceDefs.cpp where other such functions live. They are not related
to fonts only anymore.
* Removed the subpixel related settings again from the Fonts preflet and added
them to the Appearance preflet instead.
All of the above implements subpixel anti-aliasing on a global scale, which
to my knowledge no other OS is doing at the moment. Any vector rendering
can optionally use subpixel anti-aliasing in Haiku now. The bitmap cached fonts
are still affected by the Freetype complile time #define to enable the patented
subpixel rasterization (three times wide glyphs). Vector fonts and shapes are
not affected though at the moment.

subpixel font rendering on/off and also make the glyph hinting optional
(aligning of glyph shapes to the pixel grid).
* Implement the setting in the app_server and also handle the persistency.

API, and opinions are welcome.

app server as well (ie. AS_GET_MONITOR_INFO).

* the previous AGG implementation is superfluous
* the new implementation is based on that one, but in a way that allows
read/write locking to the list of cache entries (fonts) as well as
read/write locking to the cached glyphs per individual font cache entry
* new GlyphLayoutEngine.h, which is to be the central place for layouting
glyphs along the baseline.
It handles the locking for getting the font cache entries.
It works by giving it a template class GlyphConsumer which does the
actual work.
* changed AGGTextRenderer to use the new font cache
* changed ServerFont::StringWidth(), and the bounding box stuff to use it
* changed DrawingEngine, it doesn't need the global font lock anymore
* our BFont thought that GetBoundingBoxesAsGlyphs and GetBoundingBoxesAsString
is the same, which of course it isn't, hence the two separate functions...
AsGlyphs just gets the bounding box of each glyph in a string, not treating
the string as an actual word
AsString adds the offset of the glyph in the word to the bounding box
* changed ServerProtocol.h accordingly for the different bounding box meaning

of the active ViewLayer is now always mirrored in the Painter instance
of a ServerWindow, so that it doesn't need to be synced on every drawing
command, this was previously incomplete for font handling
* removed the DrawState parameter from all the DrawingEngine functions
* adjusted ServerWindow and ServerPicture accordingly
* made sure that string related functions used by non-drawing related
parts (ServerApp, Decorator) don't interfere with the current drawing
state
* moved AS_SYNC handling from _DispatchViewMessage to _DispatchMessage,
it is actually a window message and doesn't require fCurrentLayer to
be valid
* fixed bug #1300, fCurrentLayer was not updated when a ViewLayer was
deleted by client request which happened to be fCurrentLayer (I am now
handling it so that the parent becomes the current layer, could be
wrong)
* AGGTextRenderer is no longer using it's own scanline, which should save
a few bytes RAM, the Painter already had such an object
* StringWidth() in AGGTextRenderer is now taking the escapement_delta into
account
* Painter::StrokeLine() doesn't need to check the clipping as much, since
that is already done in DrawingEngine
* if a ServerWindow message is not handled because fCurrentLayer is NULL,
a reply is sent in case the messages needs it (client window could
freeze otherwise, waiting for the reply for ever)
* removed unused AS_SET_FONT and AS_SET_FONT_SIZE
* added automatic RGBColor -> rgb_color conversion to RGBColor.h
* minor cleanup for 80 char/line limit

when enabled, and B_NORMAL_WINDOW_FEEL when disabled. IOW when enabled, no
other windows can interfere.
* Therefore, it's no longer necessary to have the screen_blanker window
use kWindowScreenFeel - it will set its window to full screen as long
as the blanker runs.
* Added a AS_APP_CRASHED notification in the app_server that will remove
all kWindowScreenFeels from the windows of the crashed app.
* This is now used by the debugger to ensure that the debugger alert will
be visible.
* Factored out a DesktopLink class out of the BRoster::_ActivateApp()

method as used in the debug_server (via BRoster::Private).

is managed for those bitmaps:
- the shared client memory mechanism is used to allocate a small overlay_client_data
structure that contains the actual buffer and a semaphore that you have acquire in
order to access it.
- LockBits()/UnlockBits() now have a function: you need to call them before accessing
the overlay buffer, and you need to keep that lock until you're done with it.
* The overlay cookie is now an extra member of the ServerBitmap class.
* Removed fInitialized from ServerBitmap - IsValid() now just checks the buffer associated
with the bitmap.
* ViewLayer::Draw() will now handle overlay bitmaps specially and will draw the overlay
color instead of any contents (this is currently in ugly pink, but will become some
dark color later on).
* All what's missing from actually being able to use overlays now is to configure
them so that they are shown on screen. VLC will now show an empty pink window when
overlay video is enabled.

I probably got the meaning of the "overlay count" wrong - I guess that you
can allocate any number of overlay bitmaps, but can only see "overlay count"
on screen at a time (right now, I only allow to create "overlay count" bitmaps).

to cut down on BRegion related allocations, cannot really tell
if it speeds things up
* used the new BRegion pool in WindowLayer and ViewLayer whereever
a BRegion was used on the stack
* fixed the debugging stuff in MultiLocker - it will get you into
the debugger if you
- try to nest read locks
- try to write lock when your are a reader already
- don't match up nested locks when your a writer
-> but only if you #define DEBUG 1 in the .cpp, is off by default now
* went over WindowLayer, ServerWindow, Desktop and a few other places
and fixed the locking for use with the MultiLocker, the "a reader can
not become a writer" is especially tricky, feel free to review the
changes

* Removed private color set functions from InterfaceDefs.cpp - we might want
something similar, but definitely not like that.
* Minor cleanup, added some missing licenses.

all teams in serveral server areas, and instead of having to eventually clone
them all several times in BBitmap, we now have one or more areas per team,
and BBitmap will only clone areas once if needed. As a side effect, this
method should be magnitudes faster than the previous version.
* This method is also much more secure: instead of putting the allocation
maintenance structures into those everyone-read-write areas, they are now
separated, so that faulty applications cannot crash the app_server this
way anymore. This should fix bug #172.
* Freeing memory is not yet implemented though! (although all memory will
be freed upon app exit)
* There are now 3 different bitmap allocation strategies: per ClientMemoryAllocator
(ie. via ServerApp), per area (for overlays, not yet implemented), and using
malloc()/free() for server-only bitmaps.
* ServerBitmap now deletes its buffers itself.
* Cleaned up BBitmap and BApplication a bit.
* The test environment currently doesn't build anymore, will fix it next.

* Desktop::ActivateWindow() no longer crashes in case the window to be activated
