Richard Grenville b6a99334ce Bug fix: GLX backend incompatibility with VirtualBox & others
- GLX backend: Fix a bug that window content does not get updated on
  VirtualBox, by rebinding texture when window content changes. This may
  have a negative effect on performance.

- GLX backend: Add --glx-no-stencil to restore the old clipping method,
  just in case.

- GLX backend: Apply stricter checks on texture-pixmap binding.

- GLX backend: Fix a bug that glx_set_clip() behaves incorrectly when
  None is passed in.

- GLX backend: Use glEnable()/glDisable() to toggle stencil tests, in
  hope to increase performance.

- Move window pixmap/picture fetching to win_paint_win(), in hope to
  increase performance.

- Intersect shadow painting region with its bounding rectangle, in hope
  to increase performance.

Richard Grenville 66be1f2fe1 Bug fix: GLX backend incompatibility with mesa & others
- Fix a bug that glx_bind_pixmap() doesn't work with mesa drivers.
  Thanks to Janhouse and mkraemer for reporting. (#7)

- Use stencil buffer to attempt to eliminate potential double-paint
  issue in glx_render(). X Fixes doesn't guarantee the rectangles in a
  region do not overlap, and this may cause some regions to be painted
  twice, which would be a problem if we are painting transparent things.
  Now the target window must have a stencil buffer. Compiz uses its own
  region implementation to deal with this, but as a lightweight
  compositor we can't really do the same. It may have a positive or
  negative effort over performance. Callgrind result indicates basically
  no change in performance, but this may or may not be true.

- Correctly distinguish GL extensions and GLX extensions. Sorry. :-D

- Handle screen size. Thanks to tsmithe for reporting. (#7)

- Rename OpenGL backend to GLX backend, because, we might have a EGL
  backend someday.

- Add configuration file option `backend` to specify backend. Add
  `backend` to D-Bus `opts_get`.

- Add OpenGL shader compilation code, but currently unused.

- Minor adjustments.

- Known issue: Window content doesn't get updated in VirtualBox,
  probably because its OpenGL implementation requires constant rebinding
  of texture. But that's really slow...

- Known issue: Blur feature is still unimplemented in GLX backend.

Richard Grenville 8ffcf1c1e8 Feature: OpenGL backend
- Add experimental OpenGL backend (--opengl). --blur-background is
  currently not possible with this backend, because I'm still trying to
  find a proper way to do blur with OpenGL. Flipping backend on-the-fly
  is really hard, so it isn't supported right now. No configuration file
  option exists to enable this, because it isn't stable enough.

- Add `opengl-swc` VSync method that uses SGI_swap_control to control
  buffer swap, with OpenGL backend. (#7)

- Fix a potential read-from-freed-memory issue in paint_all().

- Correctly reattach GLX context after fork.

- Dump error text in error(). Add GLX error code handling.

- Code clean-up.

- Known issues: Region operations take a lot of time in glx_render().
  I'm hesitating about what to do.

Richard Grenville e3eca7ac61 Bug fix #91: Using pkg-config to find drm.h & OpenGL changes
- #91: Use pkg-config to find drm.h to avoid issues on FreeBSD. Thanks
  to hun7err for pointing out and providing patch.

- #89: Add default shadow exclusion rule for notify-osd. Thanks to
  DanielRS.

- Check for abundant positional arguments.

- Use paint target window (root window / overlay window) instead of
  ps->reg_win to create GLXContext. (May have negative effects on OpenGL
  VSync.) Add new OpenGL helpers functions, to prepare for the new
  OpenGL backend.

- Dump more info of a PropertyNotify with DEBUG_EVENTS.
2013-03-01 12:41:16 +08:00
Richard Grenville 8e34736c19 Improvement: Change VSync mode with D-Bus & Makefile update & Misc
- Add on-the-fly VSync option modification via D-Bus, as requested by
  kunitoki (#80). Expose parse_vsync(), create vsync_init() and
  ensure_glx_context().

- Change default value of ps->drm_fd to -1.

- Update Makefile. Change the install/uninstall rules and add doc
  installation, requested by hasufell in #85.

- Mark window not damaged in map_win(). It helps in reducing flickering
  with inverted window color, but I'm not completely sure if it's safe.

- Avoid modifying w->invert_color when window is unmapped.

- Update documentation. Thanks to hasufell for pointing out.
2013-01-31 22:56:54 +08:00
Richard Grenville 1b5273c819 Improvement #7: Add GLX_OML_sync_control VSync support
- Add "vsync-oml" VSync method, using GLX_OML_sync_control. Untested,
  because it's not supported by my driver.

- Unredirect ps->reg_win, because DRI wiki says it's related to the
  behavior of OpenGL VSync extensions.

- Add glFlush() and glXWaitX() calls, in hope they are slightly helpful
  for VSync.

- Change a few functions to make error handling more graceful. Make some
  errors fatal. Code clean-up.

- Add unused function make_text_prop().
2013-01-30 13:41:08 +08:00
Richard Grenville 42e17cb4e9 Improvement: Improve color inversion performance & Validate pixmap
- Try to improve the performance of color inversion by applying clipping
  region during color inversion. (#75)

- Validate pixmap on window unmap/destruction. Probably slightly helpful
  for #52.

- Change the design of unmap_win() and destroy_win(), a bit.

- Add warning message to help messages about features disabled at
  compile time, instead of dropping their description completely. (#85)

- Silence some warnings. Code clean-up.
2013-01-29 09:57:04 +08:00
Richard Grenville 6d36ef2d0f Feature #16: Advanced window matching
- Add advanced window matching system, capable of matching against
  arbitrary window properties as well as a series of internal
  properties, with 4 additional operators (>, <, >=, <=) useful for
  integer targets, and support of logical operators. The old matching
  system is removed, but compatibility with the format is retained.

- As the new matching system is pretty complicated, and I have no past
  experience in writing a parser, it's pretty possible that bugs are
  present. It also has inferior performance, but I hope it doesn't
  matter on modern CPUs.

- It's possible to disable matching system at compile time with NO_C2=1
  now.

- Add ps->o.config_file to track which config file we have actually
  read. Queryable via D-Bus.

- Parse -d in first pass in get_cfg() as c2 needs to query X to get
  atoms during condition parsing.

- Fix a bug in wid_get_prop_adv() that 0 == rformat is not handled
  correctly.

- Fix incompatibility with FreeBSD sed in dbus-examples/cdbus-driver.sh
  .

- Add recipe to generate .clang_complete in Makefile, used by Vim
  clang_complete plugin.

- Add DEBUG_C2 for debugging condition string parsing. DEBUG_WINMATCH is
  still used for match debugging.

- Rename win_on_wdata_change() to win_on_factor_change().

- Extra malloc() failure checks. Add const to matching cache members in
  session_t. Code clean-up. Documentation update.
2013-01-28 21:39:38 +08:00
Richard Grenville 00424b1082 Bug fix #84: Root window not repainted sometimes on wallpaper change
- Fix a bug that root window is not repainted on wallpaper change unless
  an Expose X event is received. Seemingly, if there's no mapped window
  on a screen, X will not send an Expose event when the wallpaper
  changes. Thanks to baskerville for reporting.

- Fix a X Pixmap leak when there's no existing wallpaper pixmap found.

- Fix a bug in mstrncpy() that null character is not added to the end of
  the copied string.

- Make VSYNC_STRS public, for use in src/dbus.c. Adjust the type of
  WINTYPES array. Add NUM_VSYNC.

- Add more targets for various D-Bus methods. Add "bad_target" D-Bus
  error. Improve error handling. Add more helper functions to append
  arguments to a D-Bus message. Add Introspect method to D-Bus
  introspection reply.

- Add public declarations of things in the new condition format code to
  common.h. Move definitions of some inline functions from compton.h to
  common.h. Make some functions public. Move wid_get_prop_adv() to
  compton.c. The primary code files of the new format src/c2.{c,h} will
  be published when ready.

- Add support for dumping version string in Makefile (make version), to
  make snapshot generation easier.

- Add repeated inclusion protection to common.h.

- Update documentation.

- Use gsed instead of sed in dbus-examples/cdbus-driver.sh if possible,
  as some BSD systems does not come with GNU sed by default. Thanks to
  DaChiChang for reporting.

- Code clean-up. Small type changes in register_cm() to silence
  warnings. Quit on failure in parse_vsync(). Apply stricter checks in
  force_repaint().
2013-01-24 13:38:03 +08:00
Richard Grenville 58c0ecec40 Feature #80: D-Bus support
- Add D-Bus support. Currently 7 methods are available: "reset" (same as
  SIGUSR1), "list_win" (list the windows compton manages), "win_get"
  (get a property of the window), "win_set" (set a property of the
  window), "find_win" (find window based on client window / focus),
  "opts_get" (get the value of a compton option), and "opts_set" (set
  the value of a compton option), together with 4 signals: "win_added",
  "win_destroyed", "win_mapped", "win_unmapped".

- D-Bus support depends on libdbus.

- As there are many items and my time is tight, no much tests are done.
  Bugs to be expected.

- Create a new header file `common.h` that contains shared content.

- Fix some bugs in timeout handling.

- Update file headers in all source files.

- Re-enable --unredir-if-possible on multi-screen set-ups, as the user
  could turn if off manually anyway.

- Check if the window is mapped in `repair_win()`.

- Add ps->track_atom_lst and its handlers, to prepare for the new
  condition format.

- Known issue 1: "win_get", "win_set", "opts_get", "opts_set" support a
  very limited number of targets only. New ones will be added gradually.

- Known issue 2: Accidental drop of D-Bus connection is not handled.

- Known issue 3: Introspection does not reveal all available methods,
  because some methods have unpredictable prototypes. Still hesitating
  about what to do...

- Known issue 4: Error handling is not finished yet. Compton does not
  always reply with the correct error message (but it does print out the
  correct error message, usually).
2013-01-19 20:20:27 +08:00
Richard Grenville e60fe72dcb Bug fix #75: --invert-color-include not working & others
- Fix a small bug that breaks --invert-color-include if no other
  blacklists are present. Thanks to MaskRay and xiaq for reporting.

- Disable --unredir-if-possible for multi-screen setups.

- Fix a bug that causes --no-fading-openclose to have no effect in some
  cases. Add w->in_openclose to keep track of window open/close state.
2013-01-13 13:44:05 +08:00
Richard Grenville 2165c42d27 Feature #75: Invert window color
- Add window color inversion (--invert-color-include). It means 2-3
  times extra painting, so performance issues are likely to appear.  I
  hope I could find a faster way to invert colors.

- Rename some functions.

- Fix update of some window properties after window type/data change.
  Hopefully this will be helpful for #73.

- Split win_build_picture() from win_blur_background().

- Correct memory leak of ps->focus_blacklist during reinitialization.

- Add win_upd_t and win_upd_run(), to reduce duplicate window property
  updates. But is unused right now.

- Limited tests are done overall. Bugs to be expected.
2013-01-12 22:44:46 +08:00
Richard Grenville 57c5854fd0 Improvement: Use select() for main loop
- Back to using select() for main loop. Thus we are not longer relying
  on libevent.

- Add generic timeout system (untested) to prepare for D-Bus support.

- Drop troff man pages. Revise Makefile to improve documentation
  building, fix double LDFLAGS inclusion, and re-add -lrt. This turns
  asciidoc into a build time dependency.

- Change fading time calculation.

- Add --logpath and ostream_reopen() for debugging with -b.

- Drop unused lceil_ntimes() and other helper functions.

- Only very limited tests are done. Bugs to be expected.
2013-01-11 21:31:02 +08:00
Richard Grenville 7188054825 Bug fix #77 incorrect border_width handling & #73 window data issue
- (Hopefully) fix all incorrect handling of w->a.border_width in compton
  (#77). Thanks to baskerville for reporting.

- Attempt to fix #73 by correcting a mistake that window data is fetched
  from the wrong function. Thanks to zakkak.

- Add git commit/tag detection to Makefile for automatic versioning.

- Change -lGL linking order, to fix a segmentation fault caused by
  something in nvidia-drivers under FreeBSD, mentioned in #74. Thanks
  for the report from DachiChang.

- Link to -levent_core instead of -levent in Makefile. We might move to
  libev soon, though.

- Increase SWOPTI_TOLERANCE to handle the extraordinary delay of
  kqueue() under FreeBSD. Thanks for DachiChang's report.

- Add helper function dump_drawable() for debugging.

- Replace XInternAtom() calls with get_atom().

- Remove -lrt as it's unneeded.
2013-01-09 20:41:18 +08:00
Richard Grenville 3521f10a97 Improvement #74: Use libevent for main loop
- Use libevent for main loop. I will explain the reasons in #56 later.
  The preferred libevent version is 2.x, yet 1.4.x should work as well.

- As a result, compton now should build fine on *BSD. Thanks to
  DachiChang for the FreeBSD build issue report.

- Another consequence is we now use microsecond-level timing all the
  way. Nanosecond-level code will be dropped soon. Start using long
  instead of unsigned long to represent time in milliseconds, as both
  can't hold the full epoch time in ms, anyway, and a signed type
  requires less care in subtraction. Wrap the epoch time in ms to 15
  days.

- Fix broken NO_VSYNC_DRM and NO_VSYNC_OPENGL compile-time options.

- Use git revision number for versioning in Makefile, and other small
  improvements.

- Reorganize struct _win. Drop unused w->damaged_sequence. w->damaged is
  turned to bool.

- Add type and format to winprop_t, as preparation for the new condition
  format.

- Add w->shadow_force and w->focus_force, to prepare for D-Bus support.

- Rename wid_get_prop() to wid_get_prop_adv() with more options. Add
  wrapper function wid_get_prop().

- Add some extra helper functions, for D-Bus support later.

- Make some functions return a bool value to indicate if it's
  successful.

- Modify add_win(), use a static const structure to initialize the new
  struct _win.

- Add some helper macros, like printf_err(f)(q). Make some errors fatal.

- Rename some types, constants, and functions. Code clean-up.

- Check for time disorder in paint_preprocess() when calculating fading
  steps.

- Rename evpoll() to swopti_handle_timeout(), and partially rewrite it.

- Make -h / --help legal.

- Known issue: compton segfaults on FreeBSD with nvidia-drivers, unless
  NO_VSYNC_OPENGL is used. Will look into it later. Thamls to DachiChang
  for reporting.
2013-01-08 10:19:19 +08:00
Richard Grenville 1bfe21efb5 Improvement: Dynamic blur strength & improved frame blur performance
- Remove the region expansion design in win_blur_background(). I must be
  sleep-walking when I wrote that!

- Improve performance of blurring when a window is opaque but its frame
  is transparent.

- Adjust blur strength according to window opacity.
  --blur-background-fixed restores the old behavior.

- Add "use_offset" parameter to a few functions for convenience. Code
  clean-up.
2012-12-15 20:07:45 +08:00
Richard Grenville 22cabf7c89 Feature #69: Blur window background
- Add window background blur support (--blur-background &
  --blur-background-frame), with X Render convolution filter.
  The performance sucks. The performance when the window is opaque but
  frame is transparent could be improved, but there are two possible
  ways and I'm hesitating.

- Known issue: The blurring effect looks very ungraceful during fading.
  I could partially fix the problem, but it probably isn't easy to fix
  it completely.
2012-12-14 20:32:46 +08:00
Richard Grenville a77aaf0718 Misc: Code cleanup
- Move some long functions to ./src/compton.c .

- Fix a small potential issue in win_set_focused() when a window with
  neither leader nor client window is focused.

- Add DEBUG_LEADER.
2012-12-12 12:47:17 +08:00
Richard Grenville 848687b853 Feature #65: Auxiliary window detection
- Add auxiliary window detection (--detect-transient &
  --detect-client-leader). Thanks to SmilingHorse for inspiring me. The
  implementation is not too speed-efficient, and bugs are to be
  expected.

- Known issue: auxiliary window detection may not work too well with
  windows that are never mapped, for example as client leader.
2012-12-12 12:01:51 +08:00
Richard Grenville 33171e8933 Feature: Wintype-based focus exclusion
- Add "focus" to the wintypes settings in compton.conf, to mark windows
  of certain window types to be always focused. Replaces the ugly
  is_normal_win().

- Add a ON/OFF/UNSET switch_t type, but it's unused currently.

- Mark client_win if the window client detection hasn't been performed
  when we detect WM_STATE's presence in ev_property_notify(), for
  performance.
2012-12-10 10:38:28 +08:00
Richard Grenville 812ba93516 Bug fix #68: Possible fix for failure in client window detection
- Note I'm not in the best state today (bad cold & sleep-deprived). This
  commit is likely to introduce bugs.

- Attempt to fix client window detection failures happening when compton
  searches for client window before it's ready.

- Fix build failure with <libpcre-8.20. Thanks to @pvanek for reporting
  in #51.

- Move client window detection to a new function win_recheck_client().

- Add win_unmark_client(), which unmarks a client window.

- Rename a few functions.

- Split fetching of values of type-Window properties to a new function
  wid_get_prop_window().

- Add extra safety checks and assert calls to various functions, to
  expose potential bugs.

- Fix a memory leak that w->role is not freed on window destruction.
2012-12-07 23:06:15 +08:00
Richard Grenville a7189263e1 Feature: WM_WINDOW_ROLE matching
- Add support of matching WM_WINDOW_ROLE value. Thanks to Vladimir A.
  Pavlov!

- Thanks to Vladimir A. Pavlov for reporting the issues caused by
  missing client window, fixed in the last commit!

- Fix a memory leak in wid_get_text_prop() and wid_get_name(). Xlib
  documentation did not mention how to free the value XGetTextProperty()
  returns, so my fix could lead to troubles.

- Set focus out in unmap_win(), and add w->leader, to prepare for
  subsidiary window detection.

- Abstract update of a single string window property to
  win_get_prop_str().

- Change wid_get_name() to rely on wid_get_text_prop() as much as
  possible.

- Correct a typo in win_get_prop_str() that could cause unnecessary
  update of shadow state and window focus.
2012-12-05 18:23:35 +08:00
Richard Grenville 983803aa9f Bug fix: Dynamic inactive dim & client window changes
- Make inactive_dim opacity change according to window opacity by
  default, so it looks better when fading. --inactive-dim-fixed restores
  the old behavior.

- Make client window default to the window itself. Add w->wmwin to
  represent whether the window looks like a WM window instead. A side
  effect is, the window type of WM windows are changed from unknown to
  normal, making it necessary to use --mark-wmwin-active to avoid
  considering them unfocused.

- Add check of PointerRoot to recheck_focus() to avoid BadWindow errors
  when the root window is focused.

- Add a few macros to simplify debugging code.

- Add DEBUG_FRAME.
2012-12-05 15:28:37 +08:00
Richard Grenville 72c18b6219 Feature #65: --focus-exclude
- Add --focus-exclude, which should be used with a list of conditions to
  set certain windows to always be considered focused.

- Change focus determination process, with a newly added w->focused_real
  that reflects whether the window is actually focused, while w->focused
  represents whether compton considers it focused. The primary
  difference is now when a window considered focused because of
  --mark-wmwin-focused or --mark-ovredir-focused receives a FocusOut
  event, it's still considered focused by compton.

- Change opacity target and dim state calculation so that it's done at
  most once every paint.

- Split window opacity property fetching from calc_opacity() to a new
  function win_update_opacity_prop().

- Silence a warning in wid_get_prop_wintype().

- Rename a few functions. Code clean-up.

- My time is very limited currently, few tests are done, so this commit
  may very well introduce bugs.

- Known issue: Dim picture opacity does not change based on window
  opacity, causing somehow annoying effects when a window fades off.
2012-11-28 12:07:58 +08:00
Richard Grenville 0f851b17a2 Bug fix: --use-ewmh-active-win causes wrong focus state in Awesome
- Fix a bug that causes wrong focus detection result in Awesome and
  maybe other window managers, when --use-ewmh-active-win is enabled and
  _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW changes before the newly-focused window is mapped.

- Fix a typo that causes more than one window to stay focused after a
  window destruction with --use-ewmh-active-win.

- Fix a bug that find_clientwin() incorrectly returns a window when
  window ID 0 is passed to it.

- Check for window ID 0 in update_ewmh_active_win().
2012-11-27 08:41:55 +08:00
Richard Grenville 9ca20e7e32 Bug fix: Wrong file path being displayed on config file parsing error
- Fix a bug that causes wrong file path being displayed on configuration
  file parsing error.

- Continue dropping unused parameters and silence clang warnings.

- Add conky shadow exclusion rule to compton.sample.conf.
2012-11-21 09:15:49 +08:00
Richard Grenville e912fcde7b Feature #51: Re-initialize when SIGUSR1 is received
- Create a session_t structure, to get rid of most global variables and
  let information pass in/out mostly through parameters. Huge changes,
  so bugs may very well appear. I'm worried about resource leakages, in
  particular.

- Add gcc attributes on various functions.

- Add Doxygen configuration.

- Replace much Xlib Bool with C99 bool.

- Add and adjust some comments.

- Drop unused parameters from some functions.

- Cache default Visual and Depth, mainly to shorten code.

- Rename some types, variables, and functions.

- Add win_ev_stop() and set_ignore_next() for convenience.

- Modify wid_get_prop_wintype() and wid_get_opacity_prop() to use
  wid_get_prop().

- Rename --respect-attr-shadow to --respect-prop-shadow.

- Fix a memory leak in --respect-prop-shadow.

- Many other small changes.
2012-11-19 11:44:58 +08:00
Richard Grenville a92c2bd808 Misc: Code cleanup
- Form a function ev_window_name() for all window name detection in
  debugging code.

- Add unredir-if-possible to configuration file options.
2012-11-14 21:34:51 +08:00
Richard Grenville aaeafbd19d Bug fix: Client window event mask not restored in map_win()
- Fix a bug that client window event masks are not restored in
  map_win(), causing further property changes to be ignored, for
  example.

- Misc changes.
2012-11-10 11:41:01 +08:00
Richard Grenville 59e54b0665 Feature: Unredirect windows when there's a fullscreen window
- Optionally unredirect windows when there's a fullscreen opaque window on
  the top of the stack (--unredir-if-possible). Experimental. Known
  issues:

  * Screen flickers when redirecting/unredirecting windows.
    --paint-on-overlay seemingly minimizes it (Thanks for hints from
	mutter), but still noticeable.

  * It probably does not play well with vdpau in some cases.

- A debug option DEBUG_REDIR is added.

- Fix a bug that reg_ignore are not expired when a CirculateNotify is
  received.

- Add extra safe guards in some places, which could be bad for
  performance.

- Remove some abundant code.
2012-11-09 22:16:41 +08:00
Richard Grenville e924976b28 Feature #16: _COMPTON_SHADOW window property support
- Add support for reading _COMPTON_SHADOW property from windows
  (--respect-attr-shadow). Presently the only defined behavior is, if
  _COMPTON_SHADOW is set on the highest ancestor below root window of a
  window (usually the WM frame), it's format is 32-bit, type is CADINAL,
  value is 0, the window will not get a shadow. The format and behavior
  could change in the future without prior notification.

- Fix an issue in fork_after() that may cause some streams to remain
  open. My mistake.

- Attempt to reduce determine_shadow() calls from map_win() by
  separating some raw handler functions out.
2012-11-09 11:41:21 +08:00
Richard Grenville 56ce896feb Bug fix: Shape update of opaque windows not handled correctly
- Fix a bug that causes rendering issues if a opaque window changes
  shape.

- Remove abundant handling code in paint_preprocess() when generating
  border_size as border_size() is no longer relying on
  XFixesCreateRegionFromWindow() right now by default.

- Add extra code to print backtrace in DEBUG_ALLOC_REG.

- Move initialization of fade_time closer to first paint.
2012-11-08 19:45:39 +08:00
Richard Grenville dc04a7d8ca Improvement: Add EWMH _NET_WM_ACTIVE_WINDOW support
- Add support for using _NET_WM_ACTIVE_WINDOW to track focus (rather
  than using FocusIn/Out events) as --use-ewmh-active-win.

- Add wid_get_attr() and use it in place of XGetWindowProperty() in
  various places.

- Remove dpy parameter from find_win() and find_toplevel() as it's unused.

- Fix a writing-to-freed-memory issue in paint_preprocess().
2012-11-04 18:45:39 +08:00
Richard Grenville 9fb62874c1 Bug fix: A XserverRegion leak
- Fix a XserverRegion leak introduced in b78ab316fd. I hope this is the
  reason of the slowdowns many users reported. Thanks to xrestop!

- Cache the screen region as a variable.

- Add debugging code for region allocation.
2012-11-03 10:38:29 +08:00
Richard Grenville a0b0ff5d0a Misc: Code cleanup & debug code changes
- Merge @daBrado's focus event debugging code. Thanks!

- Use macro to reduce code redundancy in various functions.

- Move focus event validation from ev_focus_out() to a separate
  function.

- Add logic in ev_handle() to increase the chance of successful window
  name detection if compton is not reading window names normally (i.e.
  if there's no --shadow-exclude), when DEBUG_EVENTS is on.

Richard Grenville fb2ca16cb8 Improvement: border_size & ConfigureNotify & VSync changes
- Run XSync() before the final paint to catch VBlank better. Stolen from
  Xfwm4 VSync patch.

- Add --vsync-aggressive that sends out the final painting request
  earlier, simulating xfwm4 VSync patch. But this thing does have the
  possibility of breaking VSync, I think...

- Change handling of ConfigureNotify to avoid freeing w->extents and
  w->border_size if possible.

- Change logic in paint_prepreprocess() to use win_get_region() for
  border_size generation instead of border_size() if the window is not
  shaped to try to avoid some BadRegion error messages when a window
  loses its border_size then is unmapped, about which Adys complained in
  #25.

- Detect if w->border_size is None before using it in various places.
  Practically the effect is pretty limited because
  XFixesCreateRegionFromWindow() usually returns an invalid X ID instead
  of None on error.

- Fix a bug that rounded corner detection could fail if the window size
  is changed by a ConfigureNotify immediately.

Richard Grenville 35c9e44de2 Improvement: Try to reduce reg_ignore regenerations
- Try to reduce regenerations of reg_ignore. Highly experimental and
  could lead to very obscure bugs. More testing needed.

- Introduce to_paint in struct _win to keep track of whether this window
  was painted last time.

- Drop CAN_DO_USABLE support. Its usage looks pretty limited.

- Fix a bug that possibly causes rendering issues on frame width changes
  if frame_opacity is enabled.

- Detect other borders (instead of only top border) when determining
  frame opacity.

- Change the type of w->mode from int to an enumeration type.

- Ignore ShapeNotify if the window is not mapped, to avoid loss of
  w->border_size in some cases, which breaks the fading out process of
  shaped windows.

- Stop rendering a window if its picture is lost and it's unmapped, to
  avoid a series of X errors and possible rendering problems.

Richard Grenville 853d20ef56 Bug fix: Fading blocks in rare circumstances
- In very rare circumstances, poll() to the X connection returns 1 but
  no events are read out, causing XNextEvent() in the main loop to wait
  infinitely until another event comes, typically affecting fading
  process only, causing fading to appear somehow stopped. This commit
  adds a (possible) fix.

- Listen to Expose events of the X Composite overlay window if we are
  painting to it, to avoid making some parts of the screen blank when
  switching out of X screen in --paint-on-overlay mode.

- Drop "fade_fin" member of struct _win, because it's pretty useless.

- Drop unused "root" parameter of expose_root(), move get_time_ms() to
  compton.h, etc.

Richard Grenville 40178702ef Improvement: Change clear_shadow implementation
- Implement clear_shadow with painting region limitation instead of
  calculation in shadow image, to make it work correctly on windows with
  rounded corners, requested by funeral1988. This might cause more load
  on CPU, but could mean less load for GPU. The original implementation
  is kept but commented out.

- Code cleanup.

Richard Grenville 66e615775b Bug fix #7: Correct a possible issue in VSync
- I realized I might have fundamentally misunderstood VSync. This commit
  tries to fix the possible problem, or at least move the tearing line
  close to the top of the screen.

- Software VSync is replaced by --sw-opti (software optimization), as
  I guess it isn't possible at all to do VSync without driver support.

- Add "vsync" and "sw-opti" as configuration file options.
2012-10-26 11:28:38 +08:00
Richard Grenville 049621bed7 Improvement: Add painting on overlay support
- Add support for painting on X Composite overlay window instead of root
  window (--paint-on-overlay). I intended to use this to fix the
  conflict between conky (own-window off) and compton, but it's
  unsuccessful. Will have to ask somebody to figure out how to solve
  this problem.

- Rename a few variables to avoid confusion.

- Slightly change how root window content (wallpaper) change is
  detected.

- Slightly improve window name detection in DEBUG_EVENTS.

Richard Grenville 5dd544d29d Improvement #7: Add double buffering
Add double buffering with X DBE extension in hope to get rid of the
tearing issue. Thanks to cairo-compmgr for providing hints. Could be
enabled with --dbe. Only very limited tests have been done, I don't know
if it actually solves the tearing issue. My estimation is it is harmful
for performance, but I found no clear evidence. Experimental, so no
configuration file option is available for it.

MONITOR_REPAINT is broken if --dbe is turned on, this is intended for
testing whether DBE is actually working.

Richard Grenville fe2146f1a5 Misc: Drop support for old versions of libXcomposite
Basically dropping support for HAS_NAME_PIXMAP = 0 because I don't think
there are many people using it, and I cannot maintain it. CAN_DO_USABLE
support is under evaluation.
2012-10-22 08:16:52 +08:00
Richard Grenville b78ab316fd Improvement: Stop painting on regions of higher windows
Sort of reverts cdf7db750d, but implements in a different way. (Well,
maybe the pre-cdf7db750d way is actually better, if I'm willing to
sacrifice some precious code reusability.) Basically, trading CPU for
GPU, in an attempt to solve farseerfc and ichi-no-eda's problems. Highly
experimental, could be revoked at any moment.
2012-10-21 20:49:34 +08:00
Richard Grenville 07e4420ab4 Improvement: Pregenerate alpha pictures
Pregenerate alpha pictures to save time when painting. Add --alpha-step
to control the step of alpha picture generation (the opacity difference
between two consecutively generated alpha pictures).
2012-10-13 19:11:25 +08:00
Richard Grenville 72ea4b5f47 Misc: Code clean-up
- Fix a memory leak in register_cm().

- Print a warning message if argument of --vsync is invalid.

- Known bug: compton will probably freeze X if another compositing
  window manager is running and --vsync opengl is enabled, with
  nvidia-drivers-304.51. Probably an issue on the driver. I could see no
  workaround.
2012-10-10 21:17:48 +08:00
Richard Grenville b59e592588 Feature: #7: VSync
- Add VSync feature. 3 possible VSync methods available: "sw" (software,
  not too reliable, but at least you have something to fallback to),
  "drm" (using DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK, should work only on DRI drivers),
  "opengl" (using SGI_swap_control extension OpenGL, might work on more
  drivers than the DRM method). "sw" and "opengl" are briefly tested,
  "drm" received utterly no test (because I use the nVidia binary blob).
  They are enabled with "--vsync sw" / "--vsync drm" / "--vsync opengl".

- Add --refresh-rate to let user specify a refresh rate for software
  VSync, in case the automatic refresh rate detection does not work
  well.

- Seemingly the automatic refresh rate detection using X RandR in
  software VSync detects refresh rate incorrectly. Need further investigation.

- Fix a few bugs in fading timing.

- Add a workaround for client window detection on Fluxbox, as Fluxbox
  (incorrectly?) sets the override-redirect flag upon all frame
  windows.

- Software VSync adds dependency on librt (a part of glibc) for
  nanosecond-level timing functions, and libXrandr for automatic refresh
  rate detection; DRM VSync adds dependency on libdrm to use its drm.h,
  but does not link to libdrm; OpenGL VSync adds dependency on libGL.

- Print timing information on DEBUG_REPAINT.

Richard Grenville 1306b1591f Improvement: Support reading _NET_WM_OPACITY from client windows
- Some WMs don't respect Keith Packard's proposal of
  _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY, and do not copy _NET_WM_OPACITY attribute of a
  client window to its frame windows, thus cause opacity set by
  non-override-redirect windows to have no effect. This commit adds
  support for reading _NET_WM_OPACITY from client windows if running
  with --detect-client-opacity. Thanks to pvanek for reporting.

- Change Makefile logic to determine options from 3 variables
  (NO_LIBCONFIG, NO_REGEX_PCRE, NO_REGEX_PCRE_JIT) instead of CFG to
  ensure compatibility when we add new options. CFG variable is no
  longer been respected.
2012-10-03 21:21:43 +08:00
Richard Grenville f95093358e Improvement: Change in client window lookup & wintype detection
- Revert to WM_STATE for client window lookup, as WM_CLASS is
  unreliable, either, but set the client window of an override-redirect
  window to itself.

- Conform to EWMH to make assumptions about window types when
  _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE is not available.

- Remove determine_wintype() and completely rely on client window for
  window type detection.
2012-10-02 21:46:37 +08:00
Richard Grenville 2f0417cd74 Feature: #27: Detect shaped windows and disable shadow on them
- Optionally detect shaped windows using X Shape extension and disable
  shadow on them with --shadow-ignore-shaped.

- Some windows are bounding-shaped just to support rounded corners, like
  Chromium windows (when system titlebar is disabled in its settings).
  Add --detect-rounded-corners to treat them as non-shaped windows (thus
  enable shadow on them). The algorithm I use is not perfect and wrong
  detection results are pretty possible to appear.

- Many windows don't use X Shape extensions to add shapes but use ARGB
  background instead. These windows could only be blacklisted with
  --shadow-blacklist.

- Rename a few functions. Code clean up.
