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.
Apparently transparent client borders only work when the border color is
set to `#00000000` specifically.

GCC 10 builds with -fno-common by default, which causes linker errors when
variables are declared in header files and included in multiple places.

This commit mostly rewrite the client documentation and pay the
technical debt accumulated over the years. Most of the client
documentation was still one-liners from the luadoc era. It now
has all the new tags, type. It also has actual description of
what the properties do beyond the name.
This also pulls in part of the permission framework to ensure
backward compatibility is kept.
`awful.autofocus` was always weird. It is a module part of `awful`,
but it was never part of `awful` `init.lua`. Rather, `rc.lua` was
the sole place it was used. It behave exactly like a request, but
predate them by years. As I cleanup the request:: API before the
permissions API gets formalized, this has to be fixed now.
It isn't deprecated in this commit because it makes too many tests
fail. Another pull request will solve that by adding the "API level"
concept to AwesomeWM so I can change the behavior without breaking
existing configs. With that, the behavior of `autofocus` will be
enabled by default with the permissions to disable it.
This will allow the default client layout list to be manipulated by
modules without the risk of overwriting each other.
The commit also add a new `--{{{ Tag --}}}` section to `rc.lua`. It will
be expanded once the tag rules get merged.
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`.
This will be useful to address the screens by roles/names in the client
and tag rules. Since the sceen rules will make setups where sceens are
attached and removed much easier to work with, using indexes or output
names in the rules becomes a limitation.
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 commit, the C code stores if the screen was created with
`fake_screen` and also stores if the Lua side "promise" to manage
(aka, track the viewport and remove it) the object. There is now
3 kind of screens:
* Managed by C (created and deleted by the core code)
* Managed by Lua (replicate the core code, but with more hooks)
* Unmanaged (created directly with fake_screen)
It moves the actual place where when screen array is stored into the
area object. This allows to store the outputs when screens are not
automatically created.
