`IFACE_` is for short strings always shown in UI (like labels of buttons,
menu entries...). Every thing else, especially when more than a couple
of words, must use `TIP_`.
How to reproduce: use 1-10 to change the visible collection. If the
collection was globally invisible, it would be set to globally visible.
This was a left over from the previous collection visibility design.
Now that we have a more clear separation between temporary visibility
(i.e., layer collection visibiilty) and a global visibility setting
(i.e., collection visibility) we should keep them separated.
If the layer collection had a parent that was disabled we wouldn't draw
it altogether.
Note: In this case I'm moving any enabled collection with a disabled
parent up in the hierarchy.
All in all I'm happy with this but I would like us to tackle the 1-20
shortcut, Ctrl+H menu and Collections viewport panel to do something
similar.
The constraint icons are now no longer shown in the Outliner again.
This needs a more robust implementation that also works for bones & pose mode.
The new constraint icons are still shown in the Constraint Properties.
Each constraint now has a unique icon, just like modifiers.
Icons are designed by Andrzej Ambroż & Alessio Monti, with user input.
Patch by Alessio Monti.
Bringing the same logic we do in the outliner restrict column callback
and the menu call.
Also removing the "change depsgraph" logic there. Isolate collections
should not affect depsgraph relations (if it does it is to be tackled
separately anyways).
Before it was not possible to see everything in the outliner
when there are e.g. long icon rows. This is because Blender
did not allow panning the view to the right, since it did not
know the actual width.
Most of the code to compute the width correctly was there already,
but there were a couple of issues that made it not work.
* The tree width was computed before the tree was drawn.
This does not work, since the width is only known, after
it is drawn.
* Every `TreeElement` stores its right-most position in `xend`.
However, in the current code, the `xend` of e.g. an object is
the position where the text ends. The `xend` of the icons
is stored in the sub-tree-elements. Therefore, to compute
the maximum width, you may not skip the closed tree elements.
* The current drawing code had an early exit when the icon row
would not be visible anymore. This also skipped the calculation
of `xend`. So it would work correctly, when the icon was visible
a little bit, but not when it was not visible at all.
This patch fixes these issues. So even in more complex files, the
width is computed correcly. At least I haven't found a case, where
it does not.
Unfortunately, some optimizations had to be turned off, to make
it correct.

This mode was supposed to be the new default since 2 years already.
But apparently, it was tackled only for doversion, but not for new
outliners (see 7f596d39df).
No functional nor visual change.
This is a partial revert of 0910932e71.
The toggle option was introduced on 6640bcca74.
This allow us to simplify the outliner draw code so it uses the icon as
defined in the RNA (as oppose to get the value there once again).
This removes the extra highlighting of lights that are active as this is not supported

Now we always draw a roundbox behind the active object icon, and only change
the text color if the active object is also selected. This matches the 3D
viewport better.
The outliner should not be the only way for users to change these settings.
The Python API was extended to keep these properties positive and keyframable.

New icons from Andrzej Ambroż / Jendrzych:
- Bespoke icon for creating new Collections
- Special icons for Rigid Body and Rigid Body Constraints (Physics Properties)
- New icons for Holdout and Indirect Only toggles in the Outliner
- New generic Cursor icon for cases that are not related to either Orientation or Pivot
Many other tweaks to existing icons, including:
- Add & Remove Keyframe
- Weight Paint & Collision Modifier
- Tablet Pressure Sensitivity
- Playback icons
If the parent of a collection has a setting disabled, the children should have
that setting inactive.
In some cases a column may affect another one. For example, disabling a
collection to render should make holdout and and indirect only inactive.
In View Layer it works for both objects and collections.
For Scenes mode, it works only for collections.

This was discussed in the past, the idea is to get the outliner even more compact.
Also to let users to use the viewport selection restriction further.
It would be nice to haven indication that an invisible column is set, but this is
no particular to the selection column.
* Change circle to roundbox around active icons, so they don't overflow.
* Change text color to indicate selected and active state.

For anyone interesting on polishing pixels, this is still one of the few
places in Blender where when renaming the name "jumps" a tiny bit when
editing. Most of the other places (id rename, UI list rename, ...) have
the text drawing in the exact same place while editing it and drawing.
No major API change here, only in the outliner restriction column
variables (e.g., show_restrict_column_selectable > show_restrict_column_select).
* Get rid of _INSTANCE (introduced on b1af682001).
* Differentiate (everywhere but the API) between HIDE (temporary) and VIEWPORT (global).
* Use the expected icon for restrict viewport (same as objects and modifiers).
* selectable > select
In the outliner we don't have yet a clear distinction for the users of when
to use each of the visibility settings.
This changes that by properly naming the property and their tooltips.
I'm also unifying the naming between the rna properties and the outliner
for collections and objects (e.g., so collection and object hide_select
have the same tooltips everywhere).
The API did not change.
- Fix 'ddisable' typo
- Use clearer names for the operators in the Collections context menu
Instead of Set Exclude / Clear Exclude, we now use Enable in View Layer / Disable from View Layer
The change was introduced on b1af682001.
We may still change the name functionality of this anyways - we are
not really changing only the instancing visibility here at the moment.
So there is no reason to break the API in the meantime.
And in the future we can simply add a new API entry, leaving the old one
to be slowly deprecated.
See T61578 for discussions and mockups.
Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

This makes the properties editor navigation bar less saturated. Internally
the icon theme coloring was refactored a bit to move more towards the button
drawing code.
This removes the vertical bar separators between items and subitems (for closed
rows), and the vertical lines between the columns of restriction icons.
The vertical bars and lines don't really serve any useful purpose and add some
visual fuzziness and confusion. Best to concentrate the eye on the items of
content, not the separators between them.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D4743
When rows were highlighted - for selection, hover, or search - the highlighted
bar would not take up the entire vertical space but instead leave a gap.
That gap generally looks like a separator between items, adding complexity and
fuzziness for no real benefit.

This is a continuation of rB7fdffd735ff24, where I separated the
e.g. frame number drawing from scrollers internally.
This patch changes the API, so that space draw handlers
have to draw these numbers explicitely.
This greatly simplifies the scrollers API for all spaces
that just need scrollers without any frame numbers.

Althought this has limited usability currently (only 'nothing' area in
Outliner are empty lines below last entries), better for consistency to
have it here too.
