Also, fix the fitting logic so that the result width and height are fitted in the available space. Previously the result dimensions can be larger than the input, but cropped in e7a21947e6/lib/wibox/widget/base.lua (L547). But still it can cause problems e.g. when used inside wibox.container.place.
It looked horrible/buggy when combined. Now it looks like people would
expect it to work. Another problem was the `bar_border_width` look
when `ticks` was `true.
luajit was failing to GC the notification about 5% of the time. This
commit stores all widget notifications in a weak table and don't let
any lambda access the parent object notification object.
Each of those changes reduces the failure rate. There might still be
a couple in there, but the test passed 200x on my laptop with 100%
success rate.
The old behavior would move the client when `nil` was passed by
an almost arbitrary value. It would most of the time go off screen.
While this is a behavior change, what it replaces was so broken I
doubt anybody actually used `nil` in `relative_move`.
When the theme variables were moved to the backend instead of `rc.lua`,
some magic was added to disable them if the user set the border. However,
some undocumented `awful.placement` code also set them and turned off
the theme variables. So it worked *once* then stopped working.
If client client was tiled, the `fallback` could be
`theme.border_color_normal`, but if the client was
tiled, this fallback was never tried.
Now it tests for both "floating" and "active" fallbacks.
This problem actually affects the default theme.
Right now, all rules are additive, they are squashed into one big
array of properties. This is normally fine, but sometime you want
explicit rules for some objects, but also default rules if nothing
matches.
While this can be expressed in the current system by overriding
*all* properties, this require more effort than having "special"
and "fallback" rules.
It might be a good idea to deprecate them and move them to the tag
class. However, these APIs are not exactly well designed, so
moving them wont solve that. Some day the dynamic client layout will
hopefully be merged and send these functions to the heap of smelly
bad ideas trash.
The last time this page had a refresh was in parallel with another
massive whole-doc project. Thus, this page still had older
conventions which everything else had already removed.
