Closed regions didn't always draw the (+) icon right place, confusing
for users.
Next to that, I think this icon is using a bad metaphor or visual language,
Illustrated best if you close a header in outliner or buttons. Icons are
UI widgets, for screen/editor layouts different controls can be stylized.
My preference is something that aligns visually to the seperators between
regions; for testing and hacking pleasure I've added two quick versions,
a small tabbish thing and a triangle. Enable these with debug menu,
ALT+CTRL+D, values 1 or 2.
This is simply drawn with opengl now. An image for it can be made as well.

There's other design ideas to explore as well, like making region deviders
8-10 pixels wide, with a 'drag me' dot on it or so. That takes some screen
estate though, and will require to add big editor-dividers too...
Fun stuff for the mockup-mafia to check on, we have time :)
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
Actual problem was caused by insufficient buffer size
in ui_text_leftclip()
Also fixed possible invalid memory write in GHOST_SystemWin32::getClipboard
which was caused by accessing clipboard buffer after closing
clipboard. This mustn't happen.
Also fixed possible crush when buffer was failed to be locked.
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
Fixed one of oldest annoyances in Blender: the text input button!
It always behaved stupid when you had clipped text in a button.
Now while using arrows the cursor will move as expected, and only
internally shift contents when cursor reaches edge of button.
don't draw the image if the size is 0.
Crash was actually an assert() so debug builds only, replace assert() with BKE_assert() so crash is opt in build option.
- made theme colors for mesh edge len & face angle/area display.
- use %g rather then %f for float display, trims unneeded zeros.
- store cached 2d and 3d text color as bytes rather then floats, compare when drawing to avoid setting the context.
- use unsigned char for more color functions, avoids casting to glColorubv().
Automatically assign menu keys based on name, alternative to pressing number 0-9 on menus items.
keys are assigned by first giving each menu item the first character of any word, if that fails any key in the name is used.
- active key is shown underlined.
- only ascii keys are assigned currently.
- can run operators, open menu items.
- currently this only works in cases where number buttons were used (UI_BLOCK_NUMSELECT), but could be enabled for file menu, splash etc by removing this check.
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi

From blenderstorm idea# 169 this patch changes the swatch button to display a border showing the keyed status colour
of the colour.
I chose to go with showing the keyed colour in a border around the swatch, insetting the size of the swatch colour to
prevent altering the sizing of the swatch. An un-keyed swatch is not altered visually, only a keyed colour swatch is
changed to have the keyed colour around the outside of the swatch button.
I think a border of 3 pixels is sufficient to make the keyed colour visible without taking too much of the colour area
away.

- BKE_add_image_extension now sets the extension rather then appending. (no more image.jpg.tga)
- py/rna functions which have no return value now raise an error if a non-None value is returned.
- added back the red-alert flag so buttons can have a red highlight if somethings wrong.
* Changed UI code to display image browser for PROP_IMAGEPATH
* Set the icon_filepath RNA property for brushes to use PROP_IMAGEPATH
* Changed preview icon drawing to ignore unset icons
* Fixed const warnings in brush RNA
Fixed brush icons loading slowly
* Changed brush icon property from an enum to a flag that toggles whether a custom file is used for the brush icon
* Changed get_brush_icon to only handle loading external icons, built-ins are handled through the regular icon system
* Modified preview icon drawing to allow built-in icons
* When not using a custom icon, a default icon is selected based on the current tool
TODO:
* Allowing preview to show built-in icons makes the brush texture selector look ugly when nothing is selected. As discussed on IRC though, the nothing-selected state needs to be clarified anyway; I'll address this in another commit
* Use image browser when selecting a custom icon
* Selecting the default icon is ugly (uses the active object's mode), this can be fixed by making brushes know which paint mode they are part of
- use a flag rather then a2 for locking color.
- remove float from button added for color wheel size, use a2 instead.
- holding shift on the color wheel gives higher precission.
Fairly closely match some mac application colin has called 'Looks', to give better results.
- lift is now applied non linear (was being added to the color)
- change the color wheel to preserve the luminance of the gamma and gain values, this stops the color from being set too dark (option for the color wheel template).
- sub-pixel precission for the color wheel since the white area at the center can make a lot of difference with a very small change.
This change will make existing node and sequencer setups lift render slighly differently however discussed this with Ton and he's ok with it.
