- Recoded soft shadow drawing for menus, giving better predictable results
(and round off nicer on top side, was looking bad still)
- Brought it under DPI control
- Added Theme setting to control size and strength for it.
Max size 24 pix:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/File:MenuShadow.png
- Exported via Inkscape a 16 and 32 pixel bitmap version
- Use these as mipmap levels for OpenGL texture drawing.
- Changed code to get right sizes for drawing icons - better than last week's method.
Todo:
- Custom icons don't work yet (old one)
- Missing icons in the svg
- The .sh script for inkscape needs changed to support this
(now do manual saving)
Also fixed CTX_FOO_ macros when building without i18n, those were kinda wrong.
And hid i18n ui section in userpreferences when built without its support too.
* It collapsed panels in other tabs too
* Ctrl + click next to the panel header still caused panels do be collapsed
* Ctrl + Return over panel header now works as well
- on setting lower DPI, the regions that were scrolled down would start moving down
1 pixel on every draw. Caused by rounding error. (int + 0.1 vs int -0.1)
(Ancient bug)
- circles used in outliner - to denote selection/active - now draw bigger, and better
centered. (2.66 fix only)
Tooltips in Blender were not scaling when zooming in/out on UI elements.
(They did follow DPI though, but tooltips were in a 'global' fixed size).
Error was that for tooltips on large scaled popups (like in Node editor)
the drawing was entirely wrong even.
Now tooltips scale correctly, also for fonts.
Notes and image:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
- now each editor has own settings for "show panel header" and
"show panel background", and colors+alpha for this.
- this setting used to be global for all editors, but it can conflict
with looks of specific editors.
- Now you can set for editors to show panels with a 100% transparent
tool/properties region.
Note: read XML theme files now might get an error, Campbell will fix.
Upgraded version to 2.65.1, and check on this to map default region backgrounds
to have an alpha 0.5. This only worked until now for 2.64 savedi startups.
- Code for detecting "click inside button panel" was convoluted and detected wrong
panels even when they were closed.
- Any click inside panels now return "Event Handled", that will prevent events
being passed on in case of overlapping or transparent button panels.
This is ancient code, will be in on my attention list for further cleaning.
Moving panels in a buttons-region around was calling menu code, reading NULL pointer.
Seems to be an existing issue, not caused by my previous commit :)
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)
* Split and moved Cycles’ render layers panels into the render_layer
context as well (would be nice to hide this context when not needed,
e.g. with the BGE, but this is not so easy to do nicely...).
* Fixed some inconsistencies with trunk (probably due to svn merge
glitches) using r52858 as reference. Also recovered the missing
release/bin/blender-softwaregl file.
* A bunch of style code fixes in Blender's own code (not Freestyle
itself yet): line lengths, spaces around operators, block formatting,
headers, etc. In rna_linestyle.c, color_blend_items was replaced by
ramp_blend_items (exported from rna_material.c).
turns out there were copy-pasted functions for operator search popups which were identical except that one skipped internal ops.
de-duplicate so both work the same now.
