Now the active monitor size is used on startup.
Currently the cursor position is checked for intersection with the monitor bounds to find the active screen.
This returns the desktop size, not just the size of the active monitor, useful since this constrains the mouse and we dont have to detect the active monitor (which isn't so straightforward with xlib).
carbon/cocoa are TODO, they still use getMainDisplayDimensions().
Minimal change to stop blender window opening across all monitors.
Workaround the problem by starting maximized, and using sane defaults for non maximized window.
I checked on a few different solutions to this, Using Xinerama works OK, but with different size monitors
and not knowing which one the window-manager will pick in advance - this can be wrong too.
Now instead of opening with the screen size, just start maximized and use a default size for the non-maximized window (clamped by the screen size).
This isn't perfect since you could have 2x monitors at 1024x768, open blender, un-maximize - and blender window would cross over into the second monitor.
OK - so you have this nice crisp screen, and still you want to add extra
monitors to the laptop! That means Blender should switch back and forth to HiDPI
modes, when you move a window to another monitor.
This code makes the pixelsize scale factor a window property, and handles
an event when a window moves to another monitor. It then changes the
native pixelsize nicely and refreshes entire UI.
You can also have one Blender window on high, and other on low resolution.
Stretching a Blender window from 1 monitor to the other works too, but that
is Apple magic handling it.
(2.65a and older)
Case: ALT+CTRL+U (user prefs) made mousewheel change button values in inactive
window.
On opening 2nd window, or de-activating a window, the modifier
state was kept for that window. That meant that mouse-over in a window was using
the old modifier - for example for scrollwheel it would change values
in buttons.
Now scrollbars correctly hide and show, making space for the actual contents
in a region. It solves several old hacks, and puts view2d code a bit more
back in control as well.
Implementation notes:
- The view2d mask feature is working again
- The #define V2D_SCROLL_HORIZONTAL_HIDE means: "turn on hiding".
- Code for UI_view2d_region_reinit() is enforcing better standard view settings
But... two hack/patches needed to be added:
- Region panel drawing: if after generating the button panels it appears
a scroller hides or reveils, it calls all the generating code again.
(a simple scale doesn't work due to rounding differences in layout code)
- View2d code that maps 'tot' and 'cur' rects: if this code detects that
the mask changes, it calcs the map code again.
Also a bugfix (issue in 2.65)
- The left/bottom area split widget was drawing 1 pixel too large sometimes,
leaving bad trails on moving area dividers.
Very occasionally Timer Events could still get handled, after stopping
a timer - especially with the timer event still in the queue.
This patch disables such events. Introduced a EVENT_NONE to make sure
it gets ignored everywhere.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
- Screencast: stops working on window resize - crashes movie file output
- Screencast now draws simple brush overlay to indicate mouse cursor.
- Greasepencil now works again to use MMB for view rotates
(and missed proper redraw signal for toolbar, at end of paint)
it work properly - you cannot set/disable it in a running program with windows
open.
In short: Multisample setting is static, set on first time running of Blender,
after reading the user preferences.
For as far as I can see - disabling/enableing (glEnable) doesn't harm to be
used in drawing code. With multisample on at start, you can enable and disable it
freely. But without it set at start, enabling doesn't do anything nor draws badly.
Code to support it was lying around for long already, but not controlled by UI nicely.
Now you have in user preferences "System" tab an option to set it.
NOTE:
- it only works saving as User startup.blend, and restart Blender.
- your system should support it, no check for it is visible in UI
- tested only on iMac OSX 10.7

TIMER events could get keymodifier set - in this case the user assigned
spacebar modifier for setting views (running smoothview timer)
Also: cleaned op old hacks from event checking code.
The rule should be:
1) generate event properly, frozen state
2) pass on to handlers without exceptions or changing internal state
The only exception currently is for the "CLICK" (map key-release to unhandled
key-press).
Also: made --debug-event print OK. Slight cleanup in eventprinting in general.
It was putting the wmEvent state print in wrong place, doing it 4 or 8 times.
Window might be focused by mouse click in configuration of window manager
when focus is not following mouse.
Click could have been done on a button and depending on window manager settings
click would be passed to blender or not, but in any case button under cursor
should be activated. Currently the easiest way to activate button is to
generate mouse move event.
Not sure about OSX, but on windows it worked fine because OS is generating
WM_MOUSEMOVE event "automatically" so nothing special from blender side was
needed.
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
