At some point we added an unified `maximized` property to the
client class. Originally it was just setting both horizontal
and vertical maximization. LAter on, this was rewritten to
make the state change more atomic and reversible.
Soon after, we added `immobilized_horizontal` and
`immobilized_vertical` to make most `if` simpler.
`screen.tiled_clients` was missed in that refactoring.
Fix#3169
Change how wibox are drawn to build a more flexible function reusable in the context of clients.
Add `clients` option to the template. This new option needs an associative table `{ ['label'] = client }` to work. Where label will be a text rendered on the middle of the client area.
Add a new example: `texts/examples/screen/tiled_clients.lua`.
The use case for this will be to detech which screen is connected to
an output from the screen rules.
It is in millimeters because this is what the output provides and in
inches because the DPI is based on that unit and screens are sold with
the size in inches on the box.
When the screens are created from the viewport in Lua, the signal is
sent too early and the DPI and outputs have not yet been added. This
cause the `connect_for_each_screen` callbacks to be called with a
partially initialized screen object. It also causes the drawables to be
repainted too early.
CAPI now emits "_added" and "awful.screen" takes care of emitting
"added".
With this, there is plenty of palces where the DPI can be set before
those signals are sent. This allows wallpaper with the proper DPI to
work with screens created using `fake_add`. In turn, this will allow
screen rules to control the DPI. In "the past", the DPI used for those
handler was the native DPI of the screen with no opportunity to change
it before hand.
This is easier than messing with the `fake_resize()` method. This will
eventually have an awful.screen.rules equivalent to auto-split the
screen from the rules.
This way their name doesn't get mangle by the broken magic. It will also
eventually allow to `error()` in the template when the implicit
`@function` is used.
This commit also fixes a large number of issues found while
proof-reading everything.
ldoc has a magical `@classmod` module type which tries to detect
what is a method and what is a static function. It fails about as
often as it works. This commit makes everything explicit to remove
such issues.
Fixes#2640
Ref #1373
* Add a request to handle the wallpaper when a screen is added or
resized.
* Add a request for screen decorations such as bars or gizmos when
a screen is added.
Both are also sent when a new handler is connected.
As long as Awesome provides APIs that uses pixels are points, this
cannot be enabled by default.
For example, a wibar size defined in pixels may be too small to
render the text once a dense display is connected.
For example, Xephyr reports its output with a size of 0x0. Since a
division by zero is in no one's interest, just ignore such outputs when
trying to compute the DPI value.

This commit makes awesome automatically compute the DPI of a screen
based on its RandR outputs. If multiple outputs exist, the lowest DPI is
used.

Once upon a time, beautiful.xresources.get_dpi was added to query
Xft.dpi. That made sense since this queried an xresources property. Over
time, other, non-xresources-based ways to query DPI were added to this
function. Now, it makes no more sense to have this function here.
Also, recently it became possible to add new properties to C objects
from Lua code. Thus, we no longer need to have a get_dpi() function
somewhere, but can add s.dpi directly.
Thus, this commit adds s.dpi and makes everything use it. No functional
changes are intended.

This was broken in 9cb60b8 in PR #1597 (from myself).
focus() is not defined on the screen instance as method
but on the screen module as function.

Fix#1644
This extracts the code for finding the next screen
from focus_bydirection to a separate method on
the screen object.
The main reason was to use the finding code without
actually changing the screen focus but this should
incidentally make the code slightly easier to test
as well since both concerns can be tested in
isolation.

It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to

Instead of using a weak table to save the last mouse position, this is
now saved directly as a property under the screen.

This adds a tparam alias "@screen" for "@tparam screen" (when used to
document e.g. arguments for callbacks), and "@screen_or_idx" when a
function accepts a "screen" or "number".
A client is supposed to go to a screen when:
* It has been started using `awful.spawn` with explicit instructions [1]
* An `awful.rules` rule **or any of its callbacks** set the screen [2]
* When something handle `request::screen` and/or `request::tag` in some
custom ways. [3]
* Some clients can request a screen and mean it (like MythTV/Kodi/XBMC and
some multi-window DAW) [4]
A client is supposed to go to the focused screen when none of the above are
true [5].
Other constraints:
* The screen need to be set only once, anything will will emit
`property::screen` many time and cause side effects.
* There has to be a single entry point to the algorithm, no multiple
"manage" handler.
* Awesome internals must use the `request::` signal API and not force
their decision outside of request handlers.
* Restarting Awesome must not change the client screen
Commit 2178744 fix use case number [1] and [2]. It actually fix [4] too, but
it is an accident and I am not sure we care about [4] anyway. Use case [1]
and [2], however, are very important.
Fix#1091
This reverts commit facf676b13.
Using capi.client.focus.screen to decide which screen is focused breaks
a multiscreen setup. At least makes it extremely annoying to use.
In particular, if you have a focused client on screen 1, move the mouse
to screen 2 and launch a new client, the new client appears in screen 1,
since screen.focused reports that current focused screen is 1, not 2
because of the focused client.
Close#1035Fix#1029
The requirement to call add_signal() was added to catch typos. However, this
requirement became increasingly annoying with property::<name> signals and e.g.
gears.object allowing arbitrary properties to be changed.
All of this ended up in a single commit because tests/examples fails if I first
let add_signal() emit a deprecation warning.

The problem was that get_square_distance() made the screen one pixel larger to
the bottom/right than it really was. Thus, the (x+0,y+0)-pixel of a screen that
was below or to the right of some other screen had distance zero to both of
these screens.
This commit fixes the screen size computation and adds a small unit test for
getbycoord() and get_square_distance().

When there are no screens, screen[1] causes an error. Thus, this isn't a safe
fallback for these functions. Instead, this commit makes the code prefer the
primary screen, if possible. If no screen exists, then screen.primary will be
nil, but at least it won't throw an error like screen[1] does.
(This also changes the outdated copy of getbycoord that exists in
wibox.drawable)
