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.
