This makes the tabs slightly larger, increases the text size slightly, and adjusts the colors a bit to improve overall contrast. It also makes inactive tabs draw with a full tab shape, improving the readability at a glance, particularly when tabs are very small.
The users most affected will be those on smaller displays, where previously tabs were very difficult to read.

- works by defining panel categories, currently restricted to the toolbar.
- no panels define bl_categories yet, so no user visible changes since tabs only show when there are multiple.
- panel pinning is available in rmb menu or alt+lmb.
There is a bunch of internal refactoring going on too:
* No longer use operators to handle these directory and file fields, only makes
things more complicated than they should be.
* Handle autocomplete partial/full match deeper in the UI code
* Directory field still does not keep focus, that's for another time to fix,
you can already do pretty quick keyboard only navigation with the file field.

Code cleanup: replace "LISTLABEL" button type by an "UI_BUT_LIST_ITEM" button flag.
Summary:
Rationals:
I) I was never that happy to have a full button type just to set custom colors to labels inside listitems!
II) If we use (as planned) TEX buttons instead of labels to allow listitems click-rename, I'd like to be able to use listitems' theme color here as well, much easier witha flag than adding yet another button type!

Code cleanup: Move some uiBut->flag to uiBut->drawflag, make those flags anonymous enums.
Summary:
Make some room in but->flag (I did not add another flag, we already have drawflag, which was nearly not used up till now).
Note: I’m not sure whether REDALERT (and perhaps even DISABLED?) should not go to but->drawflag as well...

directory if name was not fully matched
When hitting tab to complete a directory name in the filepath field in the
filebrowser Blender shows a "create new directory?" popup, if the beginning
of directory name typed in the field matches many entries. For example if you
have directories in the open directory called "test123" and "test456", typing
"te", tab would complete up to "test", but ask to create a new folder with the
name "test".
This patch unsets the boolean storing the info about changing filepath if the
folder with the completed name does not exist.

Instead of having ifdef __GNUC__ all over the headers
to use special compiler's hints use a special file where
all things like this are concentrated.
Makes code easier to follow and allows to manage special
attributes in more efficient way.
Thanks Campbell for review!
Many thanks to Brecht for the review!
* You can now drag-resize uiLists (in default or grid layouts).
** Note about "default" size: when you drag below minimal size of the uiList, it will automatically reset to automatic sizing (i.e. size between rows and maxrows, depending on the number of items to show). This often means (e.g. in Materials list with many mat slots) that the list will grow again to maxrows!
* Grid uiLists now have a customizable number of columns (previously it was a fixed value of 9), and they will respect the rows/maxrows settings as well (i.e. show a scrollbar when needed), instead of growing indefinitly!
- uiPupMenuBegin was checking for NULL title but would still crash if it were NULL.
- now tag the function as 'nonnull' and remove NULL checks. make sure NULL isnt passed to it.
keys in menus (or tooltips) for properties they are used to toggle/cycle through
Some properties can be toggled using hotkeys via WM_OT_context_* operators, but
these hotkeys aren't really shown anywhere obvious like other hotkeys (i.e.
they're not shown in tooltips or menus). Although it is possible to look these
up in the userprefs/keymaps editor, it is quite tricky doing so, and most users
would just assume that since no shortcut is displayed, there simply isn't one at
all.
This commit introduces a slightly hacky fix which basically amounts to checking
if a property can be set by any of the few operators which are used for this
purpose. In order to keep this from being too sluggish, I've currently limited
this to only working on Editor (e.g. "Show Seconds" in Anim Editors) and
ToolSettings (e.g. "Use Proportional Edit") properties.
There are still some corner cases that would be nice to solve too (i.e. the
Pivot Type enum menu/dropdown should really be able to show the hotkeys which
have been assigned for each of those items, since they're by-and-large quite
hidden and obscure), though being able to show some of these is perhaps better
than not showing any!
Issue goes back since we stopped using LISTROW button to draw item's name (i.e. since we have custom buttons in list items!).
This commit:
* Adds a new flag to uiBlock, UI_BLOCK_LIST_ITEM, to mark blocks used for each list item.
* Adds a new button type, LISTLABEL, which basically behaves exactly as LABEL, but uses wcol_list_item color set.
* When uiItemL is called, it checks whether current block has UI_BLOCK_LIST_ITEM set, and if so, switch produced button to LISTLABEL type.
* Adds a new helper func, ui_layout_list_set_labels_active, called after the active list item has been "drawn", to set all LISTLABEL buttons as UI_SELECT.
Note custom widget_state_label() was removed, in interface_widgets.c, as it did nothing more than default widget_state().
Thanks to Brecht for the review and advices.
Btw, there is a comment stating that bits 12-15 are the same for uiBlock->flag and uiBut->flag, this is obviously no more true currently (maybe it is now bits 14-17, i.e. ALIGN flags?).
* CHARTAB: not needed anymore with improved copy/paste support and text input.
* IDPOIN: replaced by SEARCH_MENU.
* ICONROW/ICONTEXTROW: replaced by RNA enums.
* NUMABS: can use min/max limits instead.
* BUT_TOGDUAL, TOG3, TOGR, SLI: not used in 2.5 interface.
Fix turned out to remove as much "manual UI" from 3D view header as possible. Mode selector and all transform manipulators/orientations stuff are now RNA-based UI (leaving basically only edit mesh select modes with custom handlers, as they have some quite specific features).
To achieve this, four main modifications were done:
* enum-operator-generated menus are now MENU (i.e. dropdown lists) in headers too.
* All bit-flag enums expanded in ROW buttons now have a handling consistent with e.g. layers, or what we already have for transform manipulators, i.e. clicking select only one element, shift-click to select multiple ones.
* Consequently, the three RNA booleans manipulators flags are merged into a single bit-flag enum (yes, this is also an API change, though I doubt many scripts use it).
* Now the width of enum-based dropdown lists is computed from longest item name in enum, no more from a dummy place holder string (when no label/name is given).
All this allows to remove some code from 3DView/transform areas, that was actually mostly duplicating RNA/operator one.
Also done a few optimizations here and there (among others, do not pass &numitems to RNA_property_enum_items() when you do not need it, saves at least an iteration over enum items to count them).
Many thanks to Brecht for the reviews!
Displays such information as current frame dimension,
frame number within image sequence/movie and in case
of image sequence input displays current file name of
a frame.
Not entirely happy with such approach, but was requested
a lot by artists.
To achieve this, some code (callbacks and search button creation) was moved from wm_operators.c to interface/interface.c, and a new UI function was added, uiDefSearchButO_ptr.
Note: This new code uses the fact that uiButHandleFunc callbacks get executed before operator when one of its arg is the button itself!
Many thanks to Campbell who helped me a lot with this patch!
Cleanup: also removed two unused pointers from uiBut struct.
In text editor, the CTRL+F find now opens property region (or keeps it) and
activates the search button for input.
That's already nice! But next step should be to do a search on exit of
the button (or while typing). That's stuff I need Campbell to help with though.
Notes:
- Probably Py api for property buttons could get an "operator=" arg?
- The warning menu "not found" should go away
- I also suggest to make "wrap" search default for new editors
PyNodes opens up the node system in Blender to scripters and adds a number of UI-level improvements.
=== Dynamic node type registration ===
Node types can now be added at runtime, using the RNA registration mechanism from python. This enables addons such as render engines to create a complete user interface with nodes.
Examples of how such nodes can be defined can be found in my personal wiki docs atm [1] and as a script template in release/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py [2].
=== Node group improvements ===
Each node editor now has a tree history of edited node groups, which allows opening and editing nested node groups. The node editor also supports pinning now, so that different spaces can be used to edit different node groups simultaneously. For more ramblings and rationale see (really old) blog post on code.blender.org [3].
The interface of node groups has been overhauled. Sockets of a node group are no longer displayed in columns on either side, but instead special input/output nodes are used to mirror group sockets inside a node tree. This solves the problem of long node lines in groups and allows more adaptable node layout. Internal sockets can be exposed from a group by either connecting to the extension sockets in input/output nodes (shown as empty circle) or by adding sockets from the node property bar in the "Interface" panel. Further details such as the socket name can also be changed there.

Dragging on toggle buttons can now be used to press multiple buttons at once, especially useful for layer and outliner buttons.
notes:
- automatically enabled for all toggle buttons
(may change this if it becomes a problem).
- only buttons of the same type are pressed
(helps avoid annoyances eg; dragging past layer buttons onto other 3d header buttons and pressing by accident).
- automatic axis locking - dragging will lock to X/Y depending on the initial drag direction,
makes swipe motions work better, especially with the outliner.
implementation details:
- may re-implement as a region handler (currently its a modal operator).
- checking buttons in-between cursor motion events could be more efficient (but currently works ok).
- button execution needs to be improved
(currently executing a button thats not under the mouse needed a workaround for passing uiHandleButtonData),
requires further changes to UI code, will do next.
