Previously, the background container "just" used the shape and drew a
line around it. This means that half the line will be inside of the
shape and half of it will be outside. Thus, this hides the actual shape
that is used.
This commit changes that so that the line is added outside of the shape.
It does this via some tricks:
- In :before_draw_children(), :push_group() is used to redirect drawing
of the child widget to a temporary surface.
- In :after_draw_children(), the border is added to this group.
+ For this, another temporary surface is created. It will be used as a
mask.
+ The inside of the shape on this mask is cleared, everything else is
filled. Thus, the mask now contains everything "not content".
+ Everything inside the mask is filled with the background color.
- Also in :after_draw_children(), the group is drawn to the actual
target surface.
+ Again, this needs a mask.
+ This time, we draw the shape to the mask with twice the border width.
Thus, half of this line will be outside of the shape.
+ Then, the shape itself is also filled so that the mask contains the
shape and the border.
+ This mask is then used to copy the right parts of the temporary
surface were the child widget and border was drawn to the actual
target surface that will be visible on screen.
This approach has some upsides. Because we no longer have "half the
border" above content, colors with some transparency work fine for the
border. Also, this should avoid issues with anti-aliasing, because e.g.
the border is not just drawn with the border width, but also further out
to everything else so that the background cannot "bleed through".

This module is half way between the tooltip and the raw wibox.
It supports the following features:
* Auto resize to its widget size
* Support parent objects and placement
Fix#1683
If the `layouts` are set during initialization, `t.layout` will
return `floating` if `t.layouts` is added before `t.layout`. By
using the raw layout, the fallback doesn't kicks in.
Commit ac8af66005 added beautiful.theme_path, which is used to save the
directory that contains the theme file that was loaded. Just two months
later, commit ca12473584 broke this code by adding a __newindex
metamethod. This caused the assignment to beautiful.theme_path to be
redirected to the theme. However, the theme is immediately replaced by
beautiful.init() after setting up the theme_path, so this assignment got
lost.
Fix this by using rawset() to bypass the metamethod.

Before this commit, it was added by `wibox.widget.base` if
`:setup()` is used. However it doesn't work for the `awful.popup`
because of the extra indirection.
This commit stops the monkey-patching and make sure the function
always exists. This doesn't prevent it from not working and in
the long run this should still be moved into the hierarchy.
However for now it makes the situation a lot more consistent and is a
quick band-aid without too much controversy.
Mitigate #2181
Given they are all small, it makes more sense to just merge them like
we did for the client API
For some reasons GTK doesn't want to be merged. To be investigated.
Given noone understand this code, this will prevent some semi likely
regressions from going unnoticed. The main risk is the shims not
producing the exact same results as the real implementation and
cause different code paths to be taken.
As of this commit, both the "real" and "shim" implementation were given
the same set of tests with print() at every step of next_to. The
resulting log was then checksummed to ensure both are identical.
It also add some properties such as `border_width`, `border_color`
and `preferred_alignments`.
It also fix a documentation bug where the `margin_topleft` was called
`margins_topleft`. To conform to the documentation, both are now valid
but one should be removed the next time the API changes.
Fixes#1978
By passing the geometry, important information used by
awful.placement.next_to were "lost". Given `next_to` supports both
widget position, the mouse and client/wibox relative positioning, it
has to know the object type.
