Ports the animation code started in e13cc635
to an independent gimp_widget_animation_enabled()
function. This allows plug-in authors to
also conditionally turn off animations if
the user's system settings say to do so.
The function is applied to the About
Dialogue animation as well as two Easter
Egg animations:
* Wilber's eyes blinking after 23 minutes
on an empty canvas
* Wilber's eyes following the mouse after
a certain sequence of tools is clicked
e13cc635 uses gtk-enable-animation to determine whether
the more dynamic motion animation should be used for the
About Dialog credits. However, gtk-enable-animation does
not take into account the MacOS preferences.
This patch adds a check for this value using NSWorkspace's
accessibilityDisplayShouldReduceMotion boolean. Since the
value is TRUE on MacOS if the user wants animations turned
off, the boolean is inverted.
… "Reduce Animation" is checked.
This is an alternate version for commit e13cc63525.
Instead of proposing a simpler animation (fade-in/out instead of wave
animation), let's just completely get rid of the whole thing when
someone enabled an accessibility option saying that long animated
contents are basically disturbing to them, which is how I understand
additional issue #11647.
In fact, reading Mozilla docs about such option:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion#user_preferences
… they even mention vestibular motion disorders, which seem pretty
serious and would make our About dialog quite uncomfortable.
I tried to experiment with just showing a part of the authors list, then
ending on a link text to the Credits tab after a few second, but it
didn't feel that interesting nor useful. Anyway the whole animated
widget is redundant with said Credits tab, and therefore more on the
"fancy" side of things than on the useful one. Hence let's make simple:
if someone configure their OS saying that animated elements are a
discomfort, let's just get rid of useless ones! Done!
The About Dialog shows authors names using motion effects.
Since this is done with Cairo, it does not respect the
"gtk-enable-animations" setting or OSX's "Reduced Motion"
option.
This patch retrieves the "gtk-enable-animations" value.
If it is set to false, then the simple fade-in effect is used
for author names in place of the motion effects.
Per @brunolopesdsilv, the About and Quit
dialogues had custom buttons which did
not receive the text-button CSS style.
This patch adds those back so the buttons
match the styling of the others in the
dialogue.
If a system theme sets the background-image property for stacks,
it recolors the main canvas when empty. It also adds a border to
the toolbox Wilber area.
Additionally, the Credits page of the GtkAboutDialog has odd colors
due to general viewport grid styles overriding the GTK default.
This patch fixes these problems, and adds a custom CSS class to
the GimpAboutDialog for current and future work.
On Windows, the title bar can be set to light or dark mode via DwmSetWindowAttribute ().
This adds code to update the main title bar and dialogue title bars based on the current theme.
The main title bar uses "prefer-dark-theme", while the dialogue title bars
uses the color of the widget background to assume the correct color.
This is shown in the About dialog when a new version is available, but
also in the debug dialog (also when a new version is available).
Of course, for stable versions, we should still show the main download
page (which I double-checked current code does).
Let's move the g_date_time_format() to the inner block when it's
actually used, hence also make sure we allocate and free at the same
code level, which is a better practice to limit leaks.
Reported by Massimo.
The About dialog refreshes the release information relatively to
currently running version before being displayed. No check of the remote
JSON file is done, it only verifies whether any stored released
version/revision is not same (or even lower) than the actually running
version. Indeed existence of a stored release means that a newer version
exists at check time only. On later run, this stored information may
have become deprecated.
After discussing with Schumaml and Houz on IRC, let's just drop the
generic comment which may be confusing and is probably unecessary,
especially now that I write the revision number (present and new ones).
So let's just assume people understand that they should update, even
when GIMP version stays the same (this was the case I was the most wary
about, that people think the notification is an error as since they have
the last version, they don't have to update GIMP).
I hesitated to at least leave just the simple "It is recommended to
update." sentence but after much hesitation, let's go with no generic
comment at all. The download button by itself should suffice.
Of course, when a specific revision comment is set in
gimp_versions.json, it is still displayed.
- Instead of the download link being just a link button (similar to
browser "blue text" links), make it a proper button encompassing the
update icon and the download text "Download GIMP X.Y.Z".
- Make also the revision number part of the download information.
- Frame title is now "Update available!" instead of "New version
available!" (because it's not necessarily a new version, it can also
be just a package revision. "Update" is more generic).
- When no update is available, the "Check for updates" button is big and
has a label, and also now an icon. When an update is available, hence
we display now a button for the download link, the "Check for updates"
button becomes small with icon only in order not to take visual
priority over the download itself (yet allowing to re-check for even
newer information).
As noted on IRC, after the first update check on a given day, it looks
like the check button does nothing. Therefore also display the check
time to clearly show the button click was taken into account (simply
there are no updates, hence only displayed check time is updated).
If for instance you've got no internet connection or other reasons that
a check might fail, the check-update-timestamp will be 0, which is
1970-01-01.
Thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine for noticing it!
Even when we already notify of an update, we should leave the ability to
query the last gimp_versions.json manually.
It would allow also people who disabled automatic check at startup
(whether through preferences or because the build disabled the feature
altogether) to still make update checks, and to not be forever stuck
with the result of an outdated version check.
The idea is to be able to advertize a new revision of the same version
of GIMP. For instance, this would apply when we release a
`gimp-2-10-14-setup-3.exe` Windows installer (then we are at revision
3, provided we started at revision 0).
The revision number is obviously only relevant to a given platform and
version. Also the concept of build ID allows to differentiate various
builds for a same platform, in particular to not look at revisions of
third-party builds. The build ID can be any string. Maybe we could just
use reverse DNS build id (such as "org.gimp.GIMP_official") to identify
the official GIMP build. So in the end, we only compare revisions for an
identical (version, platform, build-id) tuple.
When an update is available, a big frame is visible, proposing to go to
the download page. Now a button is also available to explicitly request
for an update check in other cases (bypassing the wait delay for a
future startup).
I was wondering which shape should take the new version notification
(again some ugly pop-up?!) and realized using the About dialog was a
good idea.
This is preparatory work for this to happen.
The window will be raised soon after anyway. No need to do it too early,
which makes setting a transient parent useless afterwards. In particular
we were still getting a "GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent"
message.
The abbreviated commit hash we show in the shell and the about
dialog is currently just the last 7 characters of 'git describe',
based on the assumption that abbreviated hashes are always 7-digits
long. When the hash is longer than that, we're just showing a
nonsense commit.
This was never a good idea, since users can override this, and
since disambiguation can result in longer hashes, but since git
2.11, the default abbreviated hash length is determined based on
the size of the repository, which currently results in 10 digits
for us.
Let's just do it right.
