when aurorae decorated windows become maximized and back to normal, after a while they all start to disable blur for their decorated maximized windows.
- bug was tracked down to aurorae fault sending empty QRegions for its maximized windows. What probably happens is that because mask FrameSvgItem enabled borders change from AllBorders to NoBorder, mask FrameSvgItem calculations can not catch up
- the new approach is lighter than the previous one and simpler as margins and enabledborders for mask framesvgitem are not changed and in the c++ side no QRegions calculations are needed at all for maximized windows
- in my system with the new code changing from normal window to maximized one feels a bit snapper
the target is called ConfigCore, the relevant cmake config is not.
notably KF5ConfigConfig.cmake is the present file, so look for the
correct name, otherwise the dependency isn't found
Qt6 insists on that. We can do this either by including the moc files,
or by including the corresponding headers in the header defining the
properties, the former seems cleaner when possible.
Having blurRegion to identify if a decoration supports blur or not instead of the metadata-json way has the following benefits:
- decorations can now provide both blur or not based on user preference
- theme engines such as Aurorae do not have to enforce blur or not to their themes and they can support blur enabled and disabled themes at the same time if they want to
- blurRegion is empty by default so the Korners bug will be fixed for all solid aurorae themes. Breeze and Oxygen have set **blur:false** so nothing changes for them.
- all aurorae themes that do not require blur will free up system resources by default
Maliit does client side animation by default but can be told to disable
them using an environment variable. Since we now want to do this
animation in KWin, always disable the client side animations in Maliit.
It feels slightly weird to unconditionally add a Maliit-specific
variable, but at the same time all other solutions are more error prone
and would likely need more code.
This adds support for animating showing/hiding of the input method panel
to the sliding popup effect, if the input panel is of type "Toplevel".
This is mainly intended to animate showing the virtual keyboard and has
been primarily tested with Maliit. It replaces the client-side animation
that Maliit would do, instead doing the animation on the KWin side which
provides a significantly smoother experience.
This makes it easier to cross-compile KWin since it is no longer necessary
to have all the KWin dependencies on the host machine. This could be
partially addressed by moving the strip-effects-metadata.cpp into a
separate folder than can be built as a top-level project, thereby reducing
the dependencies to just QtCore. However, it still means we have to build
a native binary. Since all this script is doing is removing some JSON keys,
we could also use a python script and avoid the need to compile a
build-time helper program.
Otherwise when we render it, we do so upside down and screen sharing
looks broken.
This only happens when the shadow buffer is in use, so it's not all that
common.
