labwc 0.7.0

The main effort in this release has gone into porting labwc to wlroots 0.17
and tidying up regressions. Nonetheless, it contains a significant number of
additions and fixes as described below.

Should bug fixes be required against 0.6.6 (built with wlroots 0.16), a
0.6 branch will be created.

Added

  • Support titlebar hover icons. Written-by: @spl237
  • Add theme options osd.workspace-switcher.boxes.{width,height}
    Written-by: @kyak
  • Add actions VirtualOutputAdd and VirtualOutputRemove to control virtual
    outputs. Written-by: @kyak (#1287)
  • Teach MoveToEdge to move windows to adjacent outputs.
    Written-by: @ahesford
  • Implement <font place="InactiveWindow">. Written-by: @ludg1e (#1292)
  • Implement cursor-shape-v1 protocol to allow Wayland clients to request a
    buffer for a cursor shape from a compositor. Written-by: @heroin-moose
  • Implement fractional-scale-v1 protocol to allow Wayland clients to properly
    scale on outputs with fractional scale factor. Written-by: @heroin-moose
  • Add ResizeTo action (#1261)
  • Allow going backwards in window-switcher OSD by using arrow-up or arrow-left.
    Written-by: @jp7677
  • Add ToggleOmnipresent action and add an "Always on Visible Workspace" entry
    for it in the client-menu under the Workspaces submenu. Written-by: @bnason
  • Account for space taken up by XWayland clients with _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL
    property in the usable_area calculation. This increases inter-operability
    with X11 desktop componenets.
  • Set XWayland's _NET_WORKAREA property based on usable area. XWayland
    clients use the _NET_WORKAREA root window property to determine how much of
    the screen is not covered by panels/docks. The property is used for example
    by Qt to determine areas of the screen that popup menus should not overlap.

Fixed

  • Fix xwayland.c null pointer dereference causing crash with CLions. (#1352)
  • Fix issue with XWayland surfaces completely offscreen not generating commit
    events and therefore preventing them from moving onscreen.
  • Do not de-active windows when layer-shell client takes keyboard focus, to
    fix sfwbar minimize action. (#1342)
  • Move layer-shell popups from the background layer to the top layer to render
    them above normal windows. Previously this was only done for the bottom
    layer. In support of Raspberry Pi's pcmanfm --desktop. (#1293)
  • Calculate usable_area before positioning clients to ensure it is correct
    before non exclusive-zone layer-shell clients are positioned or resized.
    (#1285)
  • Prevent overriding XWayland maximized/fullscreen/tiled geometry to fix an
    issue where some XWayland views (example: xfce4-terminal) do not end up with
    exactly the correct geometry when tiled.

Changed

  • Treat XWayland panel windows as if fixedPosition rule is set
  • Use the GTK3 notebook header color as the default active title color
    (small change from #dddad6 to #e1dedb). Written-by: @dimkr
