Various ui fixes:
- panel drawing now correctly follows scaled view
- made imagewindow buttons using TH_PANEL color back (was too dark)
- click on open/close panel was wrong
- menu items disabling now draws correct
- curve/hsv widgets didn't draw on right locations
- numsliders have nicer interior slider decoration
- new type TOGBUT to enforce old style toggle button (not new type
'option button' with checkmark
- (temp) disabled live updating while using Curve widget, was
too slow to be fun. Needs general solution :)
More font style work;
- hooked up almost all ui buttons code to new font
system, including text clipping
- panel headers scale now too to smaller fonts
- added further style hints, for shadow/emboss. Is all going to
be in UI designer control!
- for fun; changed layout engine to spread vertical buttons in
window width
Next: removal of all usage of old font system, using 'styles'.
Will also move font blurring to blenfont module.
* Widgets now get coloured when driven. The colour used is debatable, but I've just set it to a purplish colour so that it's easy to distinguish from animated/keyframes/highlight colours.
* New drivers are given generator F-Curve modifiers by default so that they at least show up in the view.
Drivers can now be Added/Removed from buttons using the D/Alt-D hotkeys, and also through the menu. Driver settings (i.e. the target) are not set by default. To set those, go to the Graph Editor (see notes).
Notes:
* Buildsystem maintainers - I've added a new file "editors/animation/drivers.c"
* Widget colours for the driven-setting indications are needed
* To see the new drivers, go into Graph Editor -> "Drivers" mode. Currently, there's a little bug there which prevents editing of the new drivers.
WIP commit for UI drawing.
- Hooked up Diego's new Font API
- Added Style definitions for fonts, currently it uses
a different font for panel titles to show it.
- Styles are in Userdef now too, still not finished
- Userdef "DPI" will offer global control over font size,
to match monitor size/resolution. It's meant to scale
widgets and headers too btw, later.
- Lots of code removed for old fonts, but that's unfinished.
On todo: too much to mention, will continue happily tomorrow!
- Widgets now draw projected themselves, putting window/region matrix
on 1:1 pixelspace. This allows zoomable buttons, but crispy.
- Note: text in smaller buttons dont get clipped correct now, WIP
- Fixed error with button types in some menus.
- removed temp UI_2_50 define hack.
- I key over a button inserts a keyframe.
- Alt+I removes a keyframe.
- With right mouse button a menu with these options pops up.
- Buttons are colored green if the property is animated, yellow
if it is on a keyframe. I followed the colors from the UI
mockups, but the flicker on keyframes seems too distracting in
practice?
- This only works for properties on the ID itself at the moment,
path callbacks need to be filled in for all structs but mesh
still.
- It doesn't work when you're over a related label, that needs to
be made to work.
- I made it insert keyframes outside of any keyingset. Not sure
how this is supposed to integrate?
Next part of UI drawing migration coding.
Now all calls go via the new wrapper; apart from some special types
(Colorband, HSV picking, Curve, Normal) they draw OK.
Also added new menu system, nicer shadow, and using same AA code.
Used dark theme suggestion from William btw. Don't get afraid, it'll all
be tweakable. :)
Next steps:
- move over all special button types
- make external calls for AA draw (nodes for example)
- remove old draw code
- make new colors save in theme
I also have to check on how to treat icons in buttons; this is a bit
cumbersome in cases.
Then the layout system comes back on agenda, will go over this with
Brecht tomorrow.
So; all WIP, be patient!
Some more work on UI drawing code, added a generic structure
for how widgets will be defined. It's still a wrapper on top
of old buttons. Docs follow still.
Some visual improvements;
- more button types supported (check render buttons)
- pressed state is shown
- better 'panel' triangle AA, and new divider style
Still a lot of work here. I expect the next days/weeks to
be much more coding too, had to catch up with a lot of other
Blender stuff. There's more (excitement) going on than code. :)
WIP commit for new system to draw widgets and use themes or styles.
Not really interesting stuff to see in code now, the current
structure will change quite a lot, this to make it hook up well
to the existing system.
What works quite well is a new full opengl vector method to draw
scalable and pixel-aligned anti-aliased buttons.
