Previously, it was monkey-patching the input layout object. This will
allow to replace the laoyut at runtime. For example, switching from
`fixed.horizontal` to a grid when the number of client gets too large.
It was previously monkey-patching the input layout object into
the final tasklist.
This is a breaking change, but affects undocumented behaviors. By
doing this, it becomes possible to expose the properties in the
public API. This, in turn, allows to document them. Right now,
the documentation is very vague on some behaviors.
The default `rc.lua` was using the focus/unfocus signals to set
the border color along with `awful.rules`. This logic block was
no longer aligned with the rest of `rc.lua` since it was
the only place where `beautiful` variables where only used by
`rc.lua`.
On top of this, the new request handler also has extra contexts
for the urgent and floating/maximixed use cases. So it can be used
by themes to implement much smarter borders than just focus based
ones. They were previously limited by the fact most of the
(un-monkey-patchable) logic was in `rc.lua`.
Note that this commit also shuffle the awful.rules order between
the titlebar and the border and changes the tests accordignly.
After some consideration, I came to the conclusion the previous
behavior was bogus and the fact that the placement tests required
to know about the titlebar height is simply a proof of that. The
change was required in this commit because since the border is no
longer in the default rules, a new buggy edge case surfaced.
They currently fit the general concept of a `request::` in the sense
that they are not property related and have "request handlers".
The commit also add deprecation for signals.
The reason for this fits within the larger standardization project.
Non-namespaced signals will eventually be renamed. This has started
a long time ago.
What is old is new again. Once upon a time, there was a `startup`
parameter to the `manage` signal. It is now back in the form of
a context.
Finally, this commit removes the `manage` section of `rc.lua`. It no
longer did anything worthy of being in the config. Each of its
important parts have been moved out over the years and the last
remaining bit is always required anyway. The code has been moved
to `client.lua`.
Having buttons without an awful.util.table.join/gears.table.join
has never been officially documented to be supported. I hope there
isn't too many of those and they wont try to mix the new and old
API syntax, because that will totally break.
Now always call both check_widget and make_widget_from_value. This
should make it a lot less confusing when randomly trying to create
a widget as all ways to do it slowly converge toward an unified
one.
