2020-05-21 update

Fixes have been merged in master, thus this shouldn't be a problem anymore. Feedback welcome!

2020-04-28 update

The main problem is that Jetbrain's products after focusing other window and back looses focus in editor frame. You can't enter any text. This even happens then navigating between Jetbrain's tabs. Additionally popups loose focus, too. Confirmed on phpStorm, pyCharm, AndroidStudio.

What has been tried:

• set _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 environment variable
• set ``wmname="LG3D" in Qtile config

revision 28d5c30 is the start of this bug revision before (0617235) works as expected

workarounds:

• revert to 0.14.2
• use Xephyr

This PR adds 32-bit colour depth for X11 which allows transparent windows (e.g. the bar). This PR aims to address some existing issues (#900, #1320, #1722, #1934 and probably some others) but will need more work before it can be merged. I'm uploading it now in case people want to test it.

It does look pretty good though:

There's a discussion about getting transparency to work here: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/discussions/2508

This is based on the work of frostidaho from a number of years ago - so big kudos to them for doing most of the legwork.

I'm assuming the system tray will be an issue so I'll look at that next...

Wayland would also need to be looked at separately.

EDIT: systray may be ok:

EDIT 2: To do list

• [x] Handle redrawing of semi-opaque drawers. Overlay mode results in increasing opacity.
• [x] X11 - check if 32 bit enabled and adjust transparency if not (getting some rendering issues with 24-bit depth)
• [x] Testing
  • [x] Check systray widget
    • [x] Confirm transparency for icons
    • [x] Note: SysTray only works for fully opaque/fully transparent bar. Won't fix for semi-opaque.
  • [x] Check more widgets (graphs, images etc.)
    • [x] Fix groupbox widget
    • [x] Check tasklist (this is the only widget that looks like it may have a similar issue to groupbox)
  • [x] Check whether gradient fill still works
  • [x] Add tests!
• [x] Wayland
  • [x] Check that Wayland backend not broken by these changes
  • [x] Get transparency working in Wayland too!

Warning: there are a lot of commits in this PR so it will be necessary to rebase

This is a work in progress with further commentary in https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/1982

This is not ready for merging but I've created this PR so people can test if interested. Feedback greatly appreciated.

After a great example by @senthilbaboo (#2144), I reworked the (second) attempt at layering code (#2029) to make better use of X-functionality. This is the first implementation I finished and tested, so there will be some rough edges and room for improvement. I also have yet to see how the tests fare.

The core.manager.change_layer()-method is at the heart of this PR; things seems to work as well as the previous implementation so far (even a little better, since #676 seems to be fixed by this), but so far I don't really like the spaghettis in that method, especially considering that there are more X-flags we should be taking care of.

• [x] convert _Window.cmd_keep_above() and _Window.cmd_keep_below() to properties (keep the methods for easy access, though)

If implemented, will add a new default parameter and change the draw() method of the GroupBox widget to allow different highlight methods for groups on different screens.

By default, groups on unfocused screens will be highlighted with border, and the user can define unfocused_highlight_method in their config.py if they would like to change it, just like the current highlight_method.

Currently using this config

When I reload qtile with qtile.cmd_reload_config or lazy.reload_config, the windows reload, but the bar doesn't.

This is after restarting. I don't think it's related to the issue though.

EDIT: I appropriated this PR for general config-reloading changes. Previously it was limited to the popup commit but as these changes are a group (and would conflict when done separately) I've kept them together

Currently send_notification will try to send a notification but fail quietly if there is no notification server running. To get the message to the user's eyes, it can instead fall back to a transient Popup window.

This also changes the config-reading code to use this mechanism to inform the user of a config error, rather than creating a new Config object just so we can stick a TextBox in it to notify them.

This PR refactors the process lifecycle related parts of Qtile to properly manage resource finalization and just generally cleans up the code.

Instead of running os.execv before python's builtin finalization routines, this uses those same finalization routines to move os.execv to the last thing done by the interpreter before termination.

Issue description

Signal-desktop started with

signal-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

does not open on the wayland backend. It does when using sway (It actually is native wayland, verified with xeyes so it's not because of a lack of Xwayland support in qtile). There seems to be an issue with setting the wid of the window (see stack trace obtained from running in a nested session). Chromium with the same flags works fine. So does vscode with those flags, so not all electron apps seem to be affected. I am trying to debug it in the meantime but I'm not very experienced with the wayland code.

Btw I love how smooth qtile works under wayland, great work!

Edit: Hmmm, those wid errors seem to happen on other windows too. But they only happen when I run Qtile in a nested session AFAICT, so I'm not sure what the issue is with signal-desktop not starting. In a normal session it also does not start and ~/.local/share/qtile/qtile.log shows the top 5 lines before the wid errors in the stack trace I provided.

Configuration

Happens with the default

The issue:

debian 11 wayland qtile --version = dev

The mod4 key dosent work... so I ad a mouse callback in one line of the config.py:

widget.TextBox("Press <M-r> to spawn", foreground="#d75f5f", mouse_callbacks={"Button1": lazy.spawncmd()}),

I it works, but the cursor disappear.

Required:

• [X] I have searched past issues to see if this bug has already been reported.

The issue:

• qtile version: 0.22.1

Mpd2 widget has only the width attribute to control the maximize widget width, it won't always get the same width when the different lengths of song/artist names are.

• [X] I have searched past issues to see if this bug has already been reported.

Qtile shell currently uses a regular expression to split the command name from the arguments. However, the arguments only match a limited subset of characters; characters like ., [] etc are not matched resulting in an InvalidCommand. This limits the usefulness of the eval command in particular.

This PR fixes this by allowing any characters to be passed as args.

The issue:

Tried to copy some text on foot terminal. The text was long enough so I need the terminal to scroll up when my cursor was near enough to the top of the terminal (or above it) while highlighting the text. It doesn't happen.

I wanted to move a tab to the end on Waterfox and the tab just doesn't move. Tried the same thing with firefox, sometimes it works, sometimes I see heavy slow down and lots of black boxes. I'm on wayland.

Pull request #3332 changed self.call_process to subprocess.getoutput in the Volume widget. This PR reverts that change.

PR #3332 shouldn't have changed that because the create_amixer_command function, which is used to generate command for amixer in the widget, outputs a command in the form of a list of command arguments. self.call_process accepts commands in the argument list form while subproces.getoutput instead treats the list given as [command, *args] where command is the actual command executed and args are treated as shell parameters, according to this discussion.

Meanwhile, as I pointed out here, PR #3332 didn't really break the Volume widget because the first (\d?\d?\d?)% in the output of amixer happened to be the master volume. So this PR does not introduce any user-visible change either.
