The scale factors in the macros were based on the assumption that
the default font size was 11. But the actual default font size is
12. This value is specified as DEFAULT_FONT_SIZE in
WINGS/configuration.c.
Instead of just assuming that the size of the system font has not
been changed by the user, the WMCreateAlertPanel,
WMCreateInputPanel and WMCreateGenericPanel functions now use a
fixed default font size of 12, so that changing the system font's
size in WPrefs.app does not break the fixed layouts of these panels.
("12" is specified as DEFAULT_FONT_SIZE in WINGS/configuration.c)
To prevent breaking applications depending on the static layout
behavior of the WMCreateAlertPanel and WMCreateInputPanel functions
in WINGs, the scaling functionality has been moved to the new
functions WMCreateScaledAlertPanel and WMCreateScaledInputPanel.
The system dialogs (wMessageDialog, wExitDialog, etc.) now use the
new functions, thus keeping the improved layout introduced in the
previous patches.
Instead of relying on static pixel values for position and size of
the widgets, the info panel now scales its widgets based on the
selected system font size.
Instead of relying on static pixel values for position and size of
the widgets, the legal panel now scales its widgets based on the
selected system font size.
Instead of relying on static pixel values for position and size of
the widgets, the icon chooser panel now scales its widgets based
on the selected system font size.
Instead of relying on static pixel values for position and size of
the widgets, the input panels now scale their widgets based on the
selected system font size.
Instead of relying on static pixel values for position and size of
the widgets, the alert panels now scale their widgets based on the
selected system font size.
To reduce code duplication the ScaleX and ScaleY macros have been
moved to WUtil.h. Along with the function WMGetScaleBaseFromSystemFont
these macros can be used in all panels to scale the widgets based on
the current system font size instead of giving fixed pixel sizes which
messes up the panels if a larger system font is selected in WPrefs.
Use the macros in the following way:
instead of WMResizeWidget(widget, 128, 64);
WMMoveWidget(widget, 32, 32);
use int fw, fh;
WMGetScaleBaseFromSystemFont(scr->wmscreen, &fw, &fh);
WMResizeWidget(widget, ScaleX(128), ScaleY(64));
WMMoveWidget(widget, ScaleX(32), ScaleY(32));
Instead of relying on static pixel values for position and size of
the widgets, the DockAppSettingsPanel now scales its widgets based
on the selected system font size.
In 2013 Daniel added the functionality to wrap icons, which are
attached to the dock, around the screen edges when the dock is
being moved vertically.
This patch adds an expert option to WPrefs.app for setting the
property which enables/disables this feature.
Remark: In my opinion, the default value for that property should
be changed to NO, as this is also the default behavior in
NeXTSTEP. It is handy to be able to move all these icons
out of sight when working with maximized application
windows.
If the option "Enforce icon margin" is selected, application window
icons will be selected or scaled so that they only use 75% of the
available icon_size.
Even if the feature is not enabled, this change will scale down
large application icons to icon_size, so that icons can be used
that were rejected by the previous implementation of findBestIcon.
(Example: The Qt Creator icon never showed before, because it is
only provided in 128x128 resolution. Now it's visible.)
The current findBestIcon function usually selects an icon image
that almost completely fills up the (default) 64x64 pixels of an
icon. As Dan noted in the function, the icon images should use only
75% of the available space, which would result in room for the
miniwindow title and better overall aesthetics.
This feature option provides for enabling such an automatic "icon
shrinking" functionality.
Note: This commit only introduces the new option, not the actual
image shrinking.
To make some room for an additional icon option (yet to be committed)
the options group for selecting the iconification animation is
replaced by a popup button. This allows for adding at least two more
checkboxes in the options and makes adding new animation styles less
painful.
When opening the "Icon and Initial Workspace" panel of the Attribute
Inspector, the Miniwindow Image and the corresponding text field were
always empty, even if an icon had been selected, applied and saved
before. The file name was not loaded from the database on startup
of the inspector window.
With this change, the icon and the text field are properly set on
startup of the inspector window.
