* Disable shaded mode for now, it cause too many crashes combined
with preview render, will be fixed properly later.
* Make 3d view toolbar region a bit wider. Ideally this would not
be needed, but the sculpt/paint buttons just don't fit otherwise.
* Revert change to icon/text spacing in buttons, it breaks text
editing and clipping. Will properly fix this later so changing
the spacing can be done centrally.
* Fix for grease pencil simplify stroke python error. Now button
is hidden (as in 2.4), but still available through outliner.
* Fix for memory leak in UI code, when using ctrl+Q menu.
* Fix submenu > icon being drawn on some buttons where it was not
needed.
The second tweak made (for the case without an icon) was causing superfluous spacing all over the UI for things like checkboxes + combo-boxes + text widgets. This was quite ugly and gave readability issues with the checkboxes in particular.
* Bugfix: keep the filename when changing directory, either by clicking on it or by selecting a bookmark
* MSVC uninitialized variable runtime check fix in widget_draw_text
* Text editing in buttons now hides the label, to give more space.
* Tweak slider buttons text clipping, happened a bit too early.
* Move editing text closer to the left, because the < > buttons
are not visible then anyway.
* Fix issue where it would automatically scroll when collapsing panels.
* Fix panel dragging not taking zoom level into account.
* Fix enum menu having too small default width in headers.
* Fix tooltips not showing shortcuts etc. if there was not tooltip
defined for the button.
* Fix some refresh issues with color ramps.
* Add a bit more space between columns in the layout engine.
* Make scrollers darker so they are less distracting, and highlight
instead of reverse shading when dragging.
* List template visual changes. Items now look different,
and it expands to size 5 as more items are added.
* Added LISTROW and LISTBOX elements. The former is like
a typical ROW button, but looks diffrent. The latter
looks like a BOUNDBOX, and has no extra features yet.
* Fix some glColor3ubv warnings with casting, did not find
a nicer way.
* Text window font size now supports full range 8-32, instead of
just 12 and 15. I added BLF_fixed_width to get the character
width of a fixed size font.
* Buttons do undo push on change again.
* Animated/Keyframe/Driver colors are now themable, with blend
value to blend with original color. Set this to 0.5 now to
give colors less constrast.
* Fix tooltip popping up with RMB menu open, and missing redraw.
* Autokeyframe now works for buttons.
* Driver expressions can be edited in place in a button now.
(still some refresh issues).
* Also made python driver default for the Add Driver function
in the RMB button. This way you don't have to open a Graph
editor if you just want to type an expression. Also, the
default expression then is the current value.
* Tooltips now show some extra info, not sure what is good to
have, but currently I added:
* Shortcut key for operator buttons.
* Python struct & property name for RNA buttons.
* Expression for driven values.
* Value for text/search/pointer buttons.
More scroller work:
- Added subtle arrow widgets to denote a scroller can zoom the view.
- Made zoom symmetric (old convention to only zoom "one side" just
worked badly)
Cleanup of scroller drawing in 2D windows.

After:

Will add 'zoom' widget circles later, as mockupped here:
http://www.reynish.com/files/blender25/fcurve_scrollbar.png
Also note the scale values are inside scroller; drawing it
on top conflicts with current frame item and markers.
Currently scroller disappear entirely when view is total.
For Joshua:
To make sliders behave nicely, the boundbox (v2d->tot) has to
be refreshed on each change. I've added it in graph drawing
now, but it could be notifier based I guess... not sure what
the correct anim api call would be. Can discuss tomorrow!
On todo:
Layout config hints so people can make scroller positions swap.
More toolbar functionality for workflow review.
- Split the region in two parts, bottom has the Tool Properties, the
top part shows 2 panels, one for python defined tools, other for a
"tool shelf" which (later) will get saved in files.
- Added a full context driven framework for this toolbar, showing
the tools depending on 3D window 'mode'. Both python defined tools
as the shelf respect this. So - for example - you will see different
tools in editmode mesh, as in vertex paint mode, etc.
- First template for the python tools will be committed after this commit;
it has placeholder tools to just show/test functioning.
NOTE: if you had saved a layout that shows tools region, open/close it
once to get the new region created for properties.
TODO:
- Moving paint properties to tool settings
- Test a layout with horizontal toolbar (without properties)
- Bring back floating panels, and put tool-properties here. (as option)
RNA
* Added the relevant active_*_index properties, with proper
get/set/range, updates and notifiers.
* Context.tool_settings.
* ToolSettings.vertex_group_weight.
Operators
* MESH_OT_uv_texture_add/remove
* MESH_OT_vertex_color_add/remove
* MESH_OT_sticky_add/remove
* OBJECT_OT_vertex_group_add/remove/assign/remove_from/
select/deselect/copy/copy_to_linked
* OBJECT_OT_shape_key_add/remove
UI
* Some updates and cleanups in list template code.
Known issue: when going in & out of editmode, uv textures and vertex
colors dissappear. I thought me->edit_mesh would be NULL when not in
edit mode but it is not?
Two bugfixes:
- When making 2d windows small (zero sized) the view2d data could get
corrupted with NaN values. Clipped values correctly to 1.
- Search menu (ctrl+alt+f) had wrong color for selected text in text
button
* Added SCROLL button type, use like a NUMSLI basically, with
a1 used to define the scroller size.
* Add scroll and toggle colors to the Theme (toggle was set to
draw like radio in a recent commit, but it's the intention
these look different).
* Added rudimentary list template, used for object material
slots, this is WIP though.
* In popup menu, split text with line breaks over multiple
lines, makes python errors display slightly nicer.
* Fix issue with panel header line not always being hidden
for the first panel.
* Fix graying out of aligned buttons being off by one pixel,
did not find a nice solution for it though, so just added
-1/+1 in the code.
Logic editing back!
Test screenie:
http://download.blender.org/institute/rt9.jpg
I gave the buttons a bit more width, added nicer linkline draw.
Not working yet:
- theme colors for sensor/actuator types (was old button colors)
- moving sensors up/down (used bad pupmenu... better is icons like
used for modifiers)
- Linkline mouse-over select. Currently deleting a link goes by
drawing the same line again.
Needs to be fully tested for functionality too, leave that to the GE
department. :)
I noted there's bad button hacking with reading button values,
like check_state_mask(). uiBut structure was not meant to be exported
outside of interface module.
* Added option for panel to be closed by default.
* Added support for RNA property and enum icons in buttons.
* Remove some deprecated RNA menu code.
* Fix issue with newly created panels not being inserted in the
right place.
* Fix issue with 3-split layout not being divided correctly.
* FIx issue with menu items not drawing correct using python UI.
Bugfix: reading iconfile (~/.blender/icons/xxxx.png) didn't work.
Note: go to the outliner, user preferences, first theme, User Inteface, and
fill in name of the png file in "Icon File" text button. Save prefs, start
Blender, and it shows. This whole process can be optimized once, indeed :)
Quick Color picker alternative!
- only a color circle + value slider
- exits immediate after use, or slight mouse move outside picker
- use scrollwheel to change HSV 'value'. Also works while picking.
- added nicer AA'ed cursor in picker
- All color swatches change 'value' on ALT+Wheel mouse-over
Old picker is still there, under SHIFT+click on swatch. Needs
evaluation... part of UI keymap? Per button type? Or divide
picker in left/right? Or just have all those old picker buttons
in another panel... I'm not to fond of this giant old popup.
First version of search-based ID browsing. Now only in use for the
top bar screen/scene browse. The python buttons will follow.
Also made search button colors match the theme colors from menu back.
Todos for browse-search:
- "Add new" will disappear, and become a separate icon button in the
row of widgets (like X, delete).
- Drawing the preview icons in menu
- Make search menu dynamic, with configurable number of items? And/or
multi-collumn... for now it's static
- Search menu should popup with last active ID visible and selected
Small fixes:
- Preview render now accepts resize of 1 pixel without re-render,
solves re-renders on scrolling window or dragging panel, because
of float rounding.
- Panel dragging outline was off 0.5 pixel, showed as fat AA lines
- On switching tab, the preview gets re-rendered
Down with smart, up with simple!
I now use the widget polygon code to generate a mask quad strip,
draw it over the image, and then the AA outline. Should work on
all systems.
Removed masking idea for preview draw, it appears Win32 && X11 windows
are 24 bits, not 32 bits with alpha. Not going to open that can of worm
to add this, will find a different masking method...
Preview renders:
- Added proper button type (BUT_EXTRA) for preview buttons, to
handle drawing better. It now first draws an alpha mask, to
ensure the preview is correctly fitting inside the widget style.
It then draws the outline.
- Added protection for executing preview renders while regular
rendering, that's not going to work...
Search menu:
- Made nicer drawing for popup version of search. It now uses
entire backdrop like pulldowns.
Search boxes for text buttons will use different style still;
if we use this option all over it shouldn't look too intrusive.
- Search menu allows scroll, to view all items. It doesn't cycle
anymore.
- Click outside search menu now cancels
- If a match is in search button, it highlights it. This also
allows ALT+CTRL+F - Enter to redo last op.
- Search popup draws higher when no no space below. No order
flipping!
Bugfix: Icons were drawing on wrong subpixel positions, distorting
badly. Now it's crispy and tasty!
Noticed there's a magnifier icon already, using it for the search
option.
Further work on new "text search" button.
- Now allows to browse items (mouse, arrow key)
- Assigns active value
- Uses different backdrop to distinguish from popup menus
- Cleaned API for it, so it can be used nicely generic
Also added a search menu, which shows all currently working
operators: CTRL+ALT+F. (mind the looks, it needs some tweaks!)
To make a menu activating a button I've added a new event...
could use some tweaks.
Important note: the callback to pass on "old string" for text
button (bone rename) couldn't work yet, added first code for new
callback, but has to be worked on further. When bone rename gets
added it can be tested.
Part one of new text button type: SEARCH_MENU
This opens a popup showing all matches for a typed string, nice
for object names, materials, operators, and so on.
Warning: Currently menu doesn't function yet! Only draws choices.
As test I've added an operator search button in top bar. It only
shows operators that can be used in this context now. Also that
is part of the WIP, tomorrow more fun :)
Added new widget type in drawing and themes: "Box Backdrop", which is
in use by modifiers. Allows alpha blend, shade, etc.
It was using the general button theme for standard buttons still, to
indicate this change I made it a bit darker. Matt/Bill are invited to
tweak this default color :)
* Added some properties of uiLayout that can be set. I've added
some API code for more than the two I've implementeds, so
ignore those for now.
* layout.active = False will gray out buttons inside a layout.
* layout.enabled = False will gray out and completely disable
the buttons inside a layout.
* Also some function renames.
* Added Constraints template and Add Constraint operator.
* Added toggle=True/False parameter to uiItemR, to get a
toggle button (actual button) rather than an "option"
button (checkbox)
* Added OPTION/OPTIONN button type, to distinguish with
TOG/TOGN.
RNA:
* Make all modifier pointers editable, including correct updates.
* Added notifiers and updates to constraints.
* Fix a stack corruption, pointed out by Andrea, and potentially
causing crashes.
Fix in sliders; didn't notice the left part messed up :)
Another slider draw method to explore would be like this:
(<| -------- |>)
Would make it symmetrical, and visually matching number
buttons better. (the "<" is background color triangle,
without circle around it).
Interface draw fixes:
- Red cursor for text edit widget was in wrong location
- Selection for text edit widget too
- Number slider text edit was too far too the left
- Number slider 'fill' was drawing outside boundaries.
(Matt: note I just interpolated rounding value :)
* template_modifier creates the modifier box, and returns a layout
to put the buttons in.
* Only the armature modifier is now done with python code, all other
modifiers use C code. To convert a modifier to python, remove the
corresponding C code and create a function in DATA_PT_modifiers.
* Some modifiers still require some RNA work to get it working well,
especially to make pointers editable. Mostly that is a matter of
defining an own _set callback and put some of the modifier C code
into it.
* Still various buttons that don't work, like for hooks or mesh
deform binding.
* Fix for crashing decimate modifier (still disabled).
* Removed UI_BUT_NO_HILITE, HMENU.
* Make uiLayoutBox work with align.
* Added new Buttons Tab "Bone" for Armature objects.
* Validation of buttons selection, when object selection is changed.
* added missing notifier for camera type and small layout change to the panel.
* more shading color changes for menu and checkbox.
*changed the 3d-view grid color, it was very difficult to see the difference between grid and background in orthographic view.
*changed the radio buttons shading a bit.
Cleanup of conventions for icon placement in menus.
Old code only allowed 1 icon per menu, forcing to pass on the sublevel
menu icon with exception handling.
Now sublevel icons are drawn automatically, allowing to add an icon
before name too. (Check shift+a menu)
