Better placement and layout of windows preview in windows view by spreading unused space among last rows and center filled columns at each of these rows

Changed from implicit allocation animation to explicit allocation animation model. That means that the xfdashboard_actor_enable_allocation_animation_once() must be called to get the actor be animation for one allocation change if the theme defines an animation for it.

criterias → criteria
colum → column

Thanks to Unit 193 :)

Updating to new year 2017

Silence compiler warning about using deprecated actor state access macros by using functions introduced with Clutter 1.23.4

We update the source code to use state access functions, e.g. clutter_actor_is_visible(), instead of the old macros, e.g. CLUTTER_ACTOR_IS_VISIBLE(). But also implement a compatibility layer which "redirects" functions to macros again when compiling and linking against Clutter older than 1.23.4.

This is the first fix for issue GH #117

Split application into core library (shared library libxfdashboard.so) and simple application to make objects reusable (e.g. plugin object in settings application) and to have an API

Avoid determining size of parent in XfdashboardScaledTableLayout recursively and infinitely when getting preferred width and/or height

Updating to new year 2015

The layout manager XfdashboardScaledTableLayout got a new property called "prevent-upscaling" which is set to FALSE by default. This property manages if layout manager is allowed to scale a child larger than its real natural size or not. The windows view uses this new property and exports it by itself to allow windows to be scaled beyond their real size or not. As it is a stylable property it can be control by a theme.

Add read-only properties to XfdashboardScaledTableLayout for current number of children, rows and columns

Allow selection of windows with keyboard when viewpad is focused and windows view is current active view

Arrow keys will move the selection marker through visible windows. Enter will activate the selected window as it will when clicked with pointer device. Backspace or Delete will close the window like clicking the close button with pointer device.

Reduces memory usage by not copying strings in parameter specification and could make string lookup and comparison faster.

Because I did not knew better I have to re-add the "static" keyword to each private function (private functions begin with underscore in name) to get them really private.

Fixed compiler warnings except for warning produced by CFLAGS "-Wdeclaration-after-statement" and "-Wmissing-declarations".

Fixed layout manager. Corrected calculation of minimal/preferred sizes of custom actors. Implemented view selector and added to stage window. Views in viewpad can be selected (activated) by clicking on button in view selector.

Removed static keyword from functions. Fixed build issue - still tried to compile common.c which was renamed to utils.c
