Two of the owner's reported gaps, both about moving a window without a
mouse.
Super+Shift+HJKL slammed the window to the far edge of the monitor in one
press: "it should move in increments - one side, middle, other side - not
just extreme left/up/right/down". It now steps an eighth of the monitor per
press, which crosses the screen in eight, passes through the middle at the
fourth, and stops flush against the edge rather than short of it. A
fraction rather than a pixel count, so the same key feels the same on a
laptop panel and a 4K display.
Only outside a tiling layout. There a window does not own its geometry --
stepping it would be undone by the next arrange - so the neighbour swap
stays, and three tests that assumed swapping on a dynamic workspace now say
which layout they mean.
Keyboard resize did not exist. Super+right-drag has resized with the mouse
for a while, which is why this went unnoticed, but nothing resized a window
without one. `srd.window.resize("right", "grow"|"shrink")` grows or shrinks
from the far edge in that direction, leaving the top-left where it is, and
is bounded by the same minimums a drag is and by the monitor's usable area
- a window can be resized neither to nothing nor off the screen, and a
test holds each key down forty times to prove it.
Wired into the owner's config: Super+Ctrl+arrows resize (the arrow says
which way the far edge moves, so Right always widens), and Super+Ctrl+L
locks the screen. Hyprland only ever bound the lock to XF86ScreenSaver,
which most keyboards do not have; Super+L is the convention everywhere else
but is already focus-right here. Ctrl+arrows rather than Ctrl+HJKL because
Super+Ctrl+K is already kill-process.
Verified through the real path in a nested compositor running that config:
89 bindings, all 89 described, the five new ones registered.
|
|
Measured with dotfiles-1a, who own the launcher that displays these: `srd
keybindings` returned 84 bindings and 84 empty descriptions - 100% - so
every entry their launcher showed was a bare key combo with nothing to say
what it does. Two causes, one on each side of the boundary.
`srd.bind_repeat` never accepted a description. `srd.bind` has taken an
optional third argument all along, but its repeating sibling took only two,
and mlua drops a surplus argument silently rather than raising - so a
config that documented its repeat bindings got no error and no description.
It now takes one exactly like `bind`.
The combos themselves were reported in their internal dispatch form:
`Shift+Mod4+h`. `Mod4` is the X11 modifier's name, not a key's; nothing on
a keyboard is labelled Mod4, and the canonical Ctrl/Shift/Alt/Mod4 ordering
renders the owner's own `Super+Shift+h` binding back to them inside out.
`srd keybindings` now reports a display form - Super, and the order people
write - while everything internal keeps the canonical form it dispatches
on. The display form parses back to the same binding, so it can be pasted
into a config, and a test pins that round trip rather than trusting it.
The owner's own config now describes all 84 bindings; verified through the
real path, in a nested compositor running that config: 84 of 84 described,
zero occurrences of "Mod4".
|
|
Reported as windows still being tinted. The tint is the drop shadow, and
init.lua sets general.shadows to false - loading that same config in a
fresh compositor reports false, while the running session reported true.
The reason it could not be corrected is a defect in the live-settings replay
added earlier today. That replay re-applies every srd set after a config
reload so the titlebar menu's Customize rows survive a save. The unintended
half is that a live override then outranked the config file permanently:
editing init.lua and saving put the override straight back, which is the
state the session was found in.
Live-always-wins and config-always-wins are both wrong. The rule is now that
the config wins for anything it states, and a live override survives only
where the config is silent. That distinction cannot come from `values`,
where defaults are seeded before any script runs so every key looks set, so
the config engine records which keys srd.set actually touched during the
load. That record is cleared and rebuilt on each load and restored along
with everything else when a reload fails.
Verified both directions: a config-stated key reverts to the file's value on
the next reload, and a key the config never mentions keeps its live
override.
529 tests pass, clippy clean.

Asked whether srdwm's bindings show in the AGS launcher. They could not:
srd.bind lives entirely in the Lua engine, and nothing published a binding
anywhere a client could read it. There was no IPC command, no field in any
response, and bound_keys() was used only by main.rs to register grabs.
srd.bind now takes an optional third argument, a description, and the loaded
set is copied into the WindowManager after the initial load and after every
reload. Core neither owns nor interprets them - it has no Lua state and
never dispatches a key - it holds them so the IPC layer, which is handed a
WindowManager and nothing else, can serve them. New `srd keybindings` returns
combo and description pairs, sorted so a UI listing them does not reshuffle
on every refresh.
Every binding in the shipped config now carries a description, so the feature
is useful without the user writing any.
Verified live in a nested instance: 46 bindings published, 0 without a
description, and editing the config file updated the list without a restart
(which also exercised reload-on-write again).
Also verified, for the separate report that windows cannot be moved to
another workspace from the AGS workspace pills: the compositor side works.
`srd dispatch move workspace <id> 2` moved a window from workspace 1 to 2 and
correctly hid it, since workspace 1 was active. Nothing to fix here; the
missing piece is on the shell side.
515 tests pass, clippy clean.

clean up maximize
Four reports after restarting into today's build, with a screenshot. The
screenshot was measured, not eyeballed: top bar y=0..29, a 4px accent border
at y=30..33, titlebar from y=34, bottom border at y=1027..1030, and 49px of
bare desktop below it.
Windows spawning too close to the top bar. A remembered position was
validated only by asking whether it landed on some monitor's full_geometry,
which includes the strip a top bar reserves, so an app whose remembered y was
small reopened with its titlebar under the bar. That is why it was
"sometimes": it depended on the stored value, and the live store holds
wezterm at y=44 and firefox at y=69 against a 30px bar. Remembered positions
are now clamped into the monitor's usable area.
Placement not surviving a logout. Window memory does persist, but five of the
eleven entries in the live store were saved with a second monitor attached,
at x >= 2000. Those points match no current monitor and were discarded
outright, falling back to a fresh cascade, so those apps appeared to remember
nothing. Such a position is now clamped onto a monitor that exists instead.
Per-window minimum sizes. One global floor is wrong in both directions.
Three sources now, in increasing precedence: the global floor, the client's
own declared minimum (xdg_toplevel.set_min_size or ICCCM hints), and a
min_width/min_height window rule overriding both. A rule wins permanently --
the backend refreshes the client's declared minimum on every decoration
redraw and must not undo a deliberate override.
Maximize, three faults in one report. A maximized window now draws no
border: its edges are the screen's edges, and the only place maximize stops
short is the bar strip, which is exactly where the measured line was.
maximize_geometry_for no longer subtracts a bottom-anchored dock's exclusive
zone, so maximize runs to the bottom of the screen and the dock floats over
it; top, left and right are still honoured.
general.maximize_covers_dock = false restores the old behaviour. With the
border gone the window sits flush under the bar instead of with an accent
line crowding it.
Verified: seven new tests on the real numbers from the live store, and
maximize geometry measured live in a nested instance (a window maximized on a
split half reports exactly that half's rect). NOT confirmed on screen: the
border removal and the dock behaviour - the nested backend has no bar or
dock to reserve a zone, and an attempt to check the border produced a failing
control, since srd set border_width only affects windows created after it.
515 tests pass, clippy clean.

The punch list was not the whole record. These are the owner's own typed
requests, read back out of the previous session's transcript rather than
guessed at, then each checked against the code before being treated as open.
Three they suspected were already done really were: dialogs already had a
Close-only titlebar, inactive dimming already existed, and the corner resize
hitbox had already been tuned.
Snap layouts on drag, asked for twice. Edge snapping worked but committed
silently on release with nothing shown first, so there was no way to know it
would happen or where. A translucent drop-target preview now follows the
drag, and throwing the pointer at a monitor's top edge drops down the
existing six-cell grid to aim at. The preview calls the same snap_zone that
end_drag does, so the two cannot disagree. Two defects found by screenshot
before landing: moving down onto the flyout closed it, and its labels
overflowed at a fixed cell width - the same "text goes out of view" fault
already fixed once for the context menu.
New File now offers real types, chosen by extension, with the de-duplication
counter placed before the extension so the file stays what it says it is.
Refresh re-reads init.lua and fires a new srd.on("refresh") handler instead
of only re-scanning the icon grid. What refresh means beyond srdwm's own
config stays the config's decision.
general.config_reload_on_write (default on) applies an edited config on save,
via an mtime sweep rather than an inotify watch: no new dependency, same
behaviour on every target, and unaffected by editors that write through a
temp file.
A real bug behind "what happens when our config fails": you lost every
keybinding. do_reload cleared the binding, handler and repeat tables before
re-executing and never restored them, so a syntax error left neither the old
config nor the new one, and the only key still working was the reload combo
nobody thinks to press. The tables are now restored on any failure and
config errors reach notify-send, not just the log.
srd.lock() and a default Mod4+Ctrl+l binding: the built-in lock screen could
not be reached from Lua at all. Native rather than shelling out, because a
lock key that shells out fails silently when the binary is not on PATH.
Default bindings added for srd.window.move and a dynamic/tiling toggle, both
of which existed with no way to reach them, plus srd.layout.get() so the
toggle reads the live workspace rather than the configured default.
Dialogs open centred, and are excluded from remembered geometry in both
directions - that table is keyed by app_id, which a dialog shares with the
window that spawned it, so dialogs inherited an unrelated position and size
and then overwrote it with their own.
theme.decorations.title_bar.button_mode (dynamic by default, or fixed) drops
the Maximize button on a window whose client pinned min == max size, where
pressing it can do nothing. Maximize is removed from the slot list rather
than skipped in place on both the render and hit-test sides, so the remaining
buttons close the gap identically; three tests pin that agreement, which is
what fails silently when it drifts.
Also: the nested backend's screencopy pass now draws both menus, the flyout
and the drag preview. Four investigations in one day started from a
screenshot missing a tier, so that pass carries an explicit list of what it
still omits and the on-screen loop points at it.
512 tests pass, clippy clean.

Live report: a second cursor appeared uninvited and unusably (frozen,
uncontrollable) on screen. Multi-cursor Phase 1 rendered one sprite per
physical libinput pointer device that had ever reported a position, with
no way to turn it off and no expiry - so a phantom device (a real mouse's
side-button/scroll cluster enumerating as its own HID path is a common
case) that reports once and never moves again left a frozen ghost sprite
with nothing to control or dismiss it.
Adds general.multi_cursor (default false, live-settable via
`srd set multi_cursor <bool>`) and keys secondary_cursors to
(Point, Instant) so both the recording side (udev/session.rs) and the
render side (udev/render.rs) drop any entry older than
SECONDARY_CURSOR_TIMEOUT (1.5s). The "agent controls a window without
interrupting the user" use case this report also raised was never gated
on this flag - that's Multi-cursor Phase 2's pinned virtual-pointer
delivery, which never shows a visible cursor at all.
|

The Lua and IPC/CLI surface for the three new core primitives
(crates/core: aspect_ratio rule action, general.phone_mode, virtual-
pointer window pinning):
- srd.rule(..., { aspect_ratio = "9:16" }): parses a "W:H" string into a
validated (u32, u32), rejecting a malformed value as a real Lua error
at config-load time rather than silently ignoring it.
- general.phone_mode config default, plus srd set phone_mode <bool> for
the live equivalent (same shape as animations/shadows/rounded_corners).
- pin_input IPC dispatch ({"cmd":"pin_input","pid":<pid>,"id":<window
id>}, id omitted to unpin) and its CLI surface, srd dispatch pin input
<pid> <window-id> / unpin input <pid>. Keyed by the owning client's
process id, not an opaque per-object id nothing outside the Wayland
backend could ever learn - a controlling tool already knows its own
pid for free.
See docs/TODO.md for the full design reasoning behind each of these.

Live testing found v1 genuinely broken, not just rough:
1. Icons weren't rendering reliably at all - ensure_desktop_icons only
ever computed the grid's origin once, on whichever render pass
happened to be first. AGS's own top bar registers its exclusive zone
after that first pass, so origin got permanently baked in at the
pre-bar geometry. Confirmed live via a temporary diagnostic log.
Fixed by re-deriving origin from the primary monitor's current
geometry on every call instead of just the first.
2. Fixed icons (Home/Computer/Trash) always sorted before real files --
confirmed wrong via direct question. The whole list now sorts
alphabetically by label, case-insensitive, fixed icons included.
3. "Set as Wallpaper" was the wrong feature: removed entirely
(DesktopMenuAction::SetWallpaper, general.wallpaper_command,
is_image_path). The user wants that handled by their real file
manager once opened, not reimplemented here.
Also adds real menu functionality per "where are all the options":
Rename (inline text edit, new CompState::renaming_icon field and
keyboard redirect mirroring NativeLock::password's existing precedent),
Delete (moves to ~/.local/share/Trash per the freedesktop.org spec, new
trash.rs module, same-filesystem case, no confirmation - this is the
reversible move-to-trash, not a permanent delete), Empty Trash on the
Trash icon, and Open Terminal Here / Open in File Manager on the
bare-desktop menu (new general.terminal config key).
133 wayland-crate tests (up from 106), full workspace build and clippy
clean.

Closes "right-click on bare desktop" - previously a true no-op, nothing
rendered above the wallpaper at all. Requested directly: a real desktop
"just like windows does" - Home/Computer/Trash plus one icon per real
~/Desktop entry, individually draggable with persisted grid positions,
double-click to open, right-click menus (per-icon "Open" plus "Set as
Wallpaper" for image files when general.wallpaper_command is set; bare
desktop "New Folder"/"Refresh").
Architecture mirrors the existing context_menu.rs/snap_flyout.rs
"compositor-owned floating UI" pattern: desktop_icons.rs (data model, grid
layout, filesystem scan, hit-test), desktop_icons_state.rs (JSON
persistence, same shape as monitor_layout.rs), desktop_menu.rs (the new
right-click menu, reusing decoration::render_context_menu's existing
rasterizer), state/desktop_icons.rs (CompState glue: rescan/select/drag/
open/persist), and a new decoration::render_desktop_icon rasterizer --
hand-drawn glyphs, since no PNG/SVG decoding capability exists anywhere in
this workspace. Wired into both render loops (udev and winit) above the
wallpaper and below every window, and into input/pointer.rs's button/
motion handlers for selection, drag, double-click, and both menus.
Four new config keys: general.desktop_icons (default true - a directly
requested, purely visual feature, unlike the opt-in-while-experimental
general.gpu), general.file_manager, general.desktop_icon_single_click,
general.wallpaper_command (all default off/empty).
Deliberately out of scope for this pass, stated up front: move-to-trash
and "Empty Trash" (destructive, no confirmation-dialog primitive to gate
them on yet), filesystem watching, multi-select, per-mimetype icon art,
icons on any monitor but the primary one.
124 wayland-crate tests (up from 106), full workspace build and clippy
clean.

SRDWM_GPU=1 was the only way to opt into the udev backend's GBM+EGL
GPU render path - an env var, not a real config option, with no way
to enable it from init.lua the way every other general.* flag works.
WindowManager::gpu_enabled (plain bool, false by default - unlike
rounded_corners_enabled's Option<bool>, GPU rendering has one
unambiguous default regardless of which backend ends up connecting,
so there's no "let the backend decide" case to preserve) is read from
general.gpu in apply_general_settings, same as every other general.*
key. gpu::probe now takes an explicit enabled: bool instead of
checking the env var itself; udev/platform.rs's call site computes it
as wm.gpu_enabled OR SRDWM_GPU=1, so the env var still works as a
quick manual override for testing without touching config, on top of
the new persistent option.
Falls back to the existing software (Pixman) path exactly as before
on any failure at any step (no GBM device, no atomic-modesetting
support, a software-only EGL renderer, ...) - gpu::probe's own
fallback behavior is unchanged, only how the initial enabled/disabled
decision gets made.

Fixes a live-reproduced VT-switch busy loop (failed page_flip retried
with no backoff), shadow rendering bleeding onto occluding windows
unclipped, and a winit-backend buffer-age correctness bug that left
stale cross-window pixels on screen. Committing before merging in the
much larger uncommitted rust-rewrite worktree, which independently
touches several of the same files - this is the pre-merge baseline to
diff against, not a claim that these are the final versions of these
fixes.
|
|
Safety commit before reconciling this worktree with main, which has
diverged with its own separate fixes today. Nothing here is reviewed
or curated yet - this exists purely so none of this work can be lost
to a git operation, disk issue, or worktree cleanup while that
reconciliation happens.

Remaining files from the backlog: Lua config engine
additions (general/register/support/window), workspace Cargo.toml/
Cargo.lock churn from the new dependencies added elsewhere in this
sweep, srdwm/main.rs wiring, and docs (DEFAULTS.md plus a new
SESSION_HANDOFF.md written mid-session for continuity across a restart
- see that file's own header for what it is and isn't).

Auditing "clicking behavior and basics": general.focus_follows_mouse,
general.mouse_follows_focus, general.auto_raise, general.auto_focus,
the entire window.* namespace (8 more keys, a full duplicate of the
same four plus remember_position/size/state), and general.
smart_placement/border_width were all seeded into default_config() and
documented in DEFAULTS.md, but none were read anywhere - srd.set()/
srd.get() on any of them silently succeeded while doing nothing.
focus_follows_mouse is real, well-defined, and directly relevant to
clicking basics - implemented it plus auto_raise (raise, not just
focus, on hover) rather than just deleting the promise like the
others. WindowManager gained focus_follows_mouse/auto_raise bools,
wired from apply_general_settings the same way every other general.*
flag is. handle_pointer_position now tracks whichever window (content
or decoration) is under the pointer and, when the setting is on and
that differs from the currently-focused window, focuses it through the
same focus_window() free function every click-driven focus change
already uses (real keyboard focus, not just core state) - skipped
entirely while dragging/resizing or over a layer-shell surface, so the
pointer sweeping over other windows mid-drag or hovering a bar can't
steal focus from what's actually being manipulated.
mouse_follows_focus (pointer warp on keybinding-driven focus change)
and auto_focus (no clear distinct meaning beyond click-to-focus) stay
unimplemented and are now undocumented rather than promised.

MISSING.md had listed this as needing to touch srdwm_core::window::
hit_test's signature at every call site, including the honest-stub
Windows/macOS backends - overstated on closer inspection: that shared
function already takes a plain resize_margin: i32 parameter, agnostic
to where the value comes from. The only real change needed was reading
Window.resize_margin.unwrap_or(wm-wide default) instead of always the
WM-wide value, at the single call site inside WindowManager::hit_test
in core - no backend touched at all.
Window.resize_margin: Option<i32>, WindowRuleActions.resize_margin to
match, applied in add_window/reapply_rules_if_pending the same way
opacity already is. Settable via a rule action or
srd.window.set_resize_margin(n) on the focused window.

visible_windows' doc comment claimed windows show "on the active
workspace of whichever monitor they're assigned to" - the code never
reads w.monitor at all; current_workspace is one flat value shared by
every monitor, not per-output. Documented that explicitly on both the
field and the method, since this is a real behavioral difference from
Hyprland worth a reader actually seeing, not just an inaccurate comment
to fix quietly.
monitor.primary_workspace/monitor.workspace_count describe a per-
monitor-workspace design that doesn't exist; workspace.auto_switch/
workspace.persistent were never wired to any behavior. All four were
seeded into default_config() and documented in DEFAULTS.md, so
srd.set()/srd.get() on them silently succeeded while doing nothing --
removed from both, matching the precedent already set by general.
rounded_corners' deliberate absence from default_config for a
different reason (backend-dependent default rather than unbuilt).
|
|
Pure reorganization, no behavior change - verified by diffing the
function-name and struct/enum-name sets before/after (both identical)
plus a full cargo test pass. lib.rs is now a thin shim (mod
declarations + pub use) since a crate root can't itself become a
directory; all the actual content moved into engine/, split along the
Lua API's own srd.*/srd.window.*/srd.layout.*/srd.workspace.*/
srd.theme.* namespace groupings the file's own section comments
already used:
- mod.rs: SharedState, Engine, ConfigError, and Engine's core methods
(new/get/set/dispatch/reload/...).
- register.rs: register_srd_module, which wires every fn_* builder
from every other file into the srd Lua table - the one place that
genuinely needs to see all of them.
- general.rs/window.rs/layout.rs/workspace.rs/theme.rs: the fn_*
builder methods themselves, one file per srd.* sub-namespace.
- support.rs: free functions shared across those (do_reload,
parse_direction, flatten_table_into, validate, default_config) and
the WindowAction enum.
- tests.rs: the ~300-line test module, left unsplit for the same
shared-helper reason manager/tests.rs and udev's tests were.
~40 fn_* methods and the support.rs free functions/enum went from
private to pub(super): called across what are now sibling submodules,
which Rust's privacy model doesn't let see each other's private items.

CPU-side rounded corners for the software-only udev/Pixman renderer,
which has no shader stage to hook the existing GLES version into.
Reads a window's own committed wl_shm buffer, punches premultiplied-
alpha holes into the four corner regions, and hands the masked copy
to MemoryRenderBuffer - the same path already used for titlebar/
border/shadow bitmaps, so it composites through the ordinary unmasked
path and the corners genuinely disappear rather than being painted
over.
Cached per window, invalidated by a per-commit content_epoch counter
rather than rebuilt every frame, so an idle window costs nothing once
masked. general.rounded_corners now defaults per backend instead of
one global true: on for GLES/winit (a real GPU shader, no measurable
cost), off for udev/Pixman (an untested-on-real-hardware CPU cost for
constantly-repainting clients) - WindowManager.rounded_corners_enabled
is Option<bool> so the backend can tell "unset" from "explicitly off".
|
|
decoration.rs's round_top_corners only ever clipped the compositor's own
titlebar/border bitmap - its own doc comment already said why nothing more
had been done: clipping arbitrary client content needs a real per-pixel
mask, "a much bigger change than this cosmetic pass". That's this change,
for the one backend that can do it cheaply: the udev backend's
PixmanRenderer is software-only with no shader stage at all, but GlesRenderer
(winit) has a real custom-shader path (`compile_custom_texture_shader`,
`TextureShaderElement`) that a first look at smithay's higher-level
convenience APIs missed entirely.
crates/wayland/src/rounded_corners.rs: a GLSL fragment shader masking a
window's texture against a rounded-rect signed-distance field while
sampling it (the same technique cosmic-comp/niri use for GPU-side rounded
corners) - built by hand from the surface's own committed texture/view/
damage state (`RendererSurfaceState`'s public accessors), since no smithay
convenience wrapper builds a masked element at all (`CropRenderElement`
only crops to a rectangle). A decorated window rounds only its bottom two
corners - the top two are already rounded, on the titlebar's own CPU
bitmap, by decoration.rs, at the exact same `CORNER_RADIUS` (now
`pub(crate)`, shared between the two so the curve reads as one continuous
radius, not two different ones meeting at a seam) - an undecorated/CSD
window rounds all four, since its content is the window's whole visible
extent. Falls back to plain unrounded content on any failure (shader
didn't compile, no committed buffer yet, a single-pixel-buffer surface),
same "always show something over a prettier maybe-nothing" reasoning
cursor.rs's built-in-arrow fallback already uses. Deliberately scoped to a
window's *main* surface only, not subsurfaces - documented as a real, if
narrow, follow-up rather than attempted here.
`TextureShaderElement` only implements `RenderElement<GlesRenderer>`, not
the generic `RenderElement<R>` every `OverlayElement<R>` variant needs, so
it can't be added to that shared enum without breaking `OverlayElement<
PixmanRenderer>` (used identically by udev.rs) the moment a GLES-only
variant showed up in it. `WinitElement<=GlesRenderer>` (new, winit.rs-only)
wraps the existing enum as one variant instead of touching it - this is
the same lesson as the fullscreen-hiding investigation earlier this
session, just resolved cleanly this time: nesting a *foreign* generic
type inside your own hits real bound-resolution walls; wrapping your own
already-working type inside a new concrete-renderer enum doesn't, because
smithay's own `render_elements!` macro documents exactly this
`<=ConcreteRenderer>` form.
Config: `general.rounded_corners` (default `true`), `srd.window` unaffected
- this is a `general.*` compositor-behavior knob, not a per-window rule
action like `opacity`.
Verified live: shader compiles without error on this machine's real Mesa/
llvmpipe GL driver, and a decorated wezterm window's bottom-left and
bottom-right corners both show a real, smoothly anti-aliased curve on the
actual client-rendered pixels (not a compositor bitmap) in a host-session
screenshot - qualitatively sharper than `round_top_corners`' deliberate
hard cutoff, since a GPU shader can afford a ~2px smoothstep a CPU bitmap
pass isn't worth adding for. cargo build --workspace (all 9 crates), cargo
clippy --workspace (0 new warnings), cargo test --workspace (197 tests,
0 failed).

opacity
The user asked for per-window opacity (MISSING.md's `windowrule = opacity`
gap) and pushed back on treating smithay's convenience wrappers as a hard
ceiling: "don't rely on smithay, it won't have everything we need." Looked
again at why opacity was ruled out earlier - `render_output`/
`space_render_elements` take one `alpha` for the whole frame's `self.space`
content, no per-element control - and found a path that doesn't need
nesting smithay's internal `SpaceRenderElements` type (the approach that
hit an unresolvable generic-bounds wall investigating fullscreen-hiding
earlier): call `render_elements_from_surface_tree` directly,
once per window and once per layer-shell surface, each with its own alpha,
wrapping the result in the *existing* `OverlayElement::Surface` variant.
That primitive was already proven safe in this codebase (cursor.rs's
client-image path, this file's own popup rendering) - reusing it here for
a window's main content is the same call, not a new one.
Both `udev.rs` and `winit.rs`'s render loops now build window content and
layer-shell surfaces themselves (`elements.rs`: `surface_content_elements`,
`output_layer_elements`, `window_wl_surface` for the Wayland/XWayland
split), in the correct front-to-back order, then call
`OutputDamageTracker::render_output` directly instead of the
`space::render_output`/`space_render_elements` convenience wrappers. Content
itself needs no occlusion clipping against `occluders` (unlike border/
titlebar bitmaps) - pushed in the same front-to-back order as everything
else, ordinary painter's-algorithm draw order already occludes it correctly,
the same property it had via `self.space`'s own order before. `self.space`
stays mapped and `resync_stacking_order`-maintained exactly as before; only
the render step stopped reading from it.
A comment in winit.rs's render loop warned that a near-identical earlier
attempt was reverted for a real ordering bug (whichever window was created
first always painted in front, regardless of focus). That bug's actual root
cause, identified and fixed since, was `Space::map_element` silently
re-stacking on every geometry sync, independent of which render path was
used - see `resync_stacking_order`. This rewrite never reads `Space`'s
internal order for rendering at all (`ids` comes from `WindowManager.order`
directly, the same source `hit_test` already trusts), so that specific bug
class can't recur here regardless of whether `resync_stacking_order` ever
drifts again.
Bonus from the same infrastructure: the bar/dock now genuinely don't render
at all (not just get covered) for a fullscreen window - `output_layer_elements`
skips `Layer::Top`/`Overlay` entirely when any visible window is fullscreen,
the hardening this work backed away from earlier for being too risky to
build via the nested-SpaceRenderElements approach. `capture_offscreen`
(winit.rs's screencopy path) picked up opacity-aware content and layer-shell
inclusion too, though not full parity with the on-screen loop (still no
border/shadow strips there - a pre-existing, separately-flagged gap).
Opacity itself: `Window.opacity` (core), `WindowRuleActions.opacity` /
`srd.rule(..., { opacity = 0.9 })`, `srd.window.set_opacity()`. Caught live,
before commit: opacity was wired into `add_window`'s own rule match but not
`reapply_rules_if_pending` - the *only* path a class-based rule actually
takes effect through for a native Wayland client, since `add_window`'s own
attempt always runs against a still-empty `app_id` (see the regression test
next to the existing one covering the identical historical bug for
`decorated`). Found by setting an isolated `SRDWM_CONFIG_PATH` test config
with `srd.rule({ class = "Alacritty" }, { opacity = 0.4 })` against a nested
instance and pixel-sampling a real screenshot: predicted blend (242,230,53)
at 0.4 over (10,10,15) is (103,98,30); measured (105,100,33).
Verified live in a nested session, screenshotting the *host* compositor
(shows the real on-screen render, unlike grim against the nested socket,
which - separately discovered this work - routes through
`capture_offscreen`): stacking order correct with two overlapping windows
(topmost fully occludes the one behind it, the exact scenario the reverted
attempt got wrong), opacity blend matches prediction. Also confirmed, by
testing the previous commit against the same scene, that upside-down
content on this backend is a pre-existing bug unrelated to this change --
noted, not fixed here.

clicks
Two independent daily-driving gaps closed in one pass, both from MISSING.md
and live user feedback:
Drop shadows (general.shadows, default true). Reuses the exact "bitmap
drawn outside geometry, cached like the border" technique border_strips/
render_border_top already established - decoration::shadow_bitmap rasterizes
a linear alpha falloff (Chebyshev/square-ring distance, not a true blur --
no blur primitive exists without a GPU shader, and the udev backend's
PixmanRenderer is software-only) from SHADOW_MAX_ALPHA (90/255, deliberately
subtle) at the window's own edge down to fully transparent SHADOW_SIZE (12px)
out. Cached in CompState::shadow_buffers, rebuilt at the same trigger points
as border_top_decorations (redraw_decoration_buffer), for the identical
damage-tracking reason: a fresh Id every frame means OutputDamageTracker
never finds a previous-frame match. No shadow for a maximized or fullscreen
window, matching the Hyprland/GNOME convention MISSING.md measures against.
Resize grab margin: 10px -> 6px (general.resize_margin, now configurable,
same call-site-count-preserving change as threading a new parameter through
one indirection point: ResizeEdge::hit_test's only production caller is
WindowManager::hit_test, so this didn't need touching every backend despite
hit_test being shared verbatim across X11/Wayland/Windows/macOS). Reported
live: ordinary clicks near any window edge - a link near a browser's edge,
a button near a panel's edge - regularly registered as a resize-edge grab
instead of reaching the client, not just an occasional near-miss, because
the 10px band was measured inward from the client's own content rect. 6px
stays comfortably grabbable while giving content back most of its edge.
Verified: cargo build --workspace (all 9 crates including the windows/macos
stub backends), cargo clippy --workspace (0 new warnings), cargo test across
core/wayland/config/x11 (188 tests, 0 failed). Shadow rendering verified at
the render-element level live in a nested session (correct geometry, alpha,
buffer contents) - grim/screencopy itself turned out to route through
winit.rs's separate capture_offscreen path, which only ever drew
`decorations` (titlebars), never borders or shadows, so screenshots taken
this way have never shown either; a real gap, not fixed in this pass.

IPC/global-menu/output-management work
Border/titlebar decoration was built from Window.geometry (the animation's
final target) in both wayland backends' render loops, while sync_geometry
already draws a window's actual content at window_anims' interpolated rect
during any maximize/fullscreen/open-slide tween. Border and content read two
different rectangles for the whole transition, so the border visibly
detached from the window it was outlining - reported as "borders aren't
flush." Both udev.rs and winit.rs now read the same animated rect for
titlebar placement, border-strip placement, and the occlusion test against
later windows in stacking order. Verified: cargo build --workspace, cargo
clippy (0 new warnings), cargo test -p srdwm-core (111/111).
Also checkpoints substantial protocol/IPC work from prior sessions that had
accumulated uncommitted: gtk-shell1 support (gtk_shell.rs, the vendored
gtk-shell.xml, xwayland.rs's X11-side mirror) backing the global app menu;
zwlr_foreign_toplevel_manager_v1 (foreign_toplevel.rs) broadcasting distinct
maximized/minimized/fullscreen/activated state per window; output_management
(ext-output-management + layer-shell exclusive-zone reservation tracking);
workspace.rs and context_menu.rs; a Unix-socket IPC crate (platform/src/
ipc.rs) and a `srd` control-CLI crate (crates/ctl); xkb_config.rs; and a
theme module (core/src/theme.rs). A peer session working the AGS shell
concurrently verified several of these live against a running srdwm: the
global menu rendering a real app's File/Edit menu over gtk-shell1, and
foreign-toplevel correctly reporting maximized and fullscreen as independent,
non-simultaneous states with the geometry each implies (maximize stops at a
reserved top bar and past a dock; fullscreen reaches the true monitor edge).
|

Config path drops a level: ~/.config/srd, not ~/.config/srdwm/srd, which
said the same thing twice. No other user-facing path had the same problem --
srdwm reads the config dir and writes nothing else.
Cursor shapes. A client's own cursor surface is now rendered with the
hotspot it declared, so an I-beam over text or a hand over a link shows the
app's image instead of srdwm's arrow. The built-in arrow stays as the
fallback when no client has set one, over decorations and the desktop.
Named shapes still fall back to the arrow; most toolkits set a surface.
Decorations and cursors now share one OverlayElement type, since
render_output takes a single custom-element slice.
Key repeat (srd.bind_repeat, Hyprland's binde). Held volume, brightness and
switcher keys repeat at the seat's own rate rather than firing once. Driven
from the poll loop, not a timer source: the winit backend has no calloop
loop of its own, and poll_events already runs continuously in both backends.
Repeat stops when *that* key is released, not when any key is.
Always-on-top / pin, for the picture-in-picture and HUD rules that used it.
Window::always_on_top was another declared-but-never-read field. Enforced in
WindowManager's stacking order rather than at render time, so every consumer
of stacking_order gets it and none can forget to honour it.
Mouse-only window management, checked end to end: drag the titlebar to move,
drag any edge or corner to resize, titlebar buttons to close/maximise/
minimise, click to focus, drag to a screen edge to snap, and now
double-click the titlebar to maximise. The resize grab band went from 6px to
10px - a hairline is genuinely hard to hit with a mouse, which is why
Hyprland ships extend_border_grab_area.
Also removed the emoji status markers from docs/IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md.

Groundwork for actually daily-driving this: porting the user's Hyprland
config exposed what srdwm couldn't yet express, and testing on a bare TTY
exposed something worse.
A visible mouse cursor. Nothing drew a pointer at all - on a bare TTY the
mouse was simply invisible. It hid because the nested backend runs inside
another compositor, which draws a cursor over srdwm's window; only the DRM
backend, i.e. the actual session path, was affected. A built-in arrow is now
composited above everything on the output the pointer is on. It's a
reviewable ASCII bitmap rather than an XCursor theme: a cursor that is always
present beats a prettier one that sometimes isn't, the same reasoning as
decoration.rs's font fallback. Client-set cursor surfaces and named shapes
are still not rendered, so an app asking for an I-beam gets the arrow.
Lid switch. libinput switch events are handled and surfaced to config as
srd.on("lid_closed"/"lid_open", fn), so closing the lid can lock and suspend
instead of doing nothing.
Config-driven additions, each needed by a binding in the ported config and
none of which existed: fullscreen (Window.fullscreen was a dead field --
declared, never read or written), directional window move that swaps with
the neighbour and reorders the stack so tiling follows, focus cycling,
modifier+drag to move/resize anywhere in a window rather than only by the
titlebar, modifier+scroll to change workspace, and 8 XF86 media/power
keysyms taken from the system's own XF86keysym.h. The keysym tables are
hand-maintained in both directions and a key missing from either fails
silently, so a round-trip test now covers every one the configs bind.
Verified in the QEMU VM: a bare-TTY screendump shows a recognisable arrow at
the pointer position (113 white fill + 58 black outline pixels at screen
centre, where the pointer starts).

- srd.rule(): match windows by title/class, apply floating/maximized/
workspace/geometry/decoration actions on creation (crates/core/src/rules.rs)
- srd.validate_config()/srd.debug.*: real range/format checks and
status/profiling helpers, replacing the always-true stub
- Wayland titlebar text rendering via fontdue, unit-tested without a
display (crates/wayland/src/decoration.rs)
- Wayland precise keybinding matching, replacing the "any Super-held key"
heuristic, sharing the keysym table with X11 (moved to
crates/core/src/keysyms.rs)
- Wayland DRM/udev backend (crates/wayland/src/udev.rs): runs as the real
compositor on a bare TTY via libseat/libinput/KMS, software rendering
via Pixman + dumb buffers (no GBM/EGL required)
- srdwm_platform::detect() fix, found via VM testing: a bare TTY with no
DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAY now correctly resolves to Wayland instead of an
X11 backend that can never work there
- XWayland integration groundwork (crates/wayland/src/xwayland.rs): spawn,
X11Wm, and full XwmHandler event routing into the same WindowManager/
Space pipeline as native clients. Windows don't render yet - a real
glamor-vs-software-renderer conflict in XWayland's own fallback path,
root-caused via WAYLAND_DEBUG tracing and documented in
docs/IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md rather than worked around blind.
All verified live in an isolated QEMU VM: X11 backend shows two
decorated, correctly-tiled xterms with real title text; the DRM/udev
Wayland backend opens the GPU, initializes input, and scans out a
rendered frame via KMS page-flip.

The C++ prototype (moved to legacy-cpp/) was mostly a design skeleton:
X11 and Windows backends were partially real, Wayland created the
wlroots object graph but never wired a single event listener, macOS
was stub except monitor enumeration, and the Lua engine's srd.bind()
stored a key-combo string but never the actual closure. See
docs/PRIOR_ART.md for the full audit.
This replaces it with a Cargo workspace:
- srdwm-core: platform-independent window/workspace/monitor state,
a real master-stack tiling layout, and SmartPlacement grid/cascade/
snap-to-edge placement - fixing several bugs in the C++ version
(hardcoded 2-column grid, cascade that never cascaded, snap-to-edge
that always returned a fixed rect). 35 unit tests.
- srdwm-config: the srd Lua API via mlua, implementing the surface
docs/DEFAULTS.md always documented but the C++ engine never actually
built (srd.window.close()/focus(direction), srd.workspace.next(),
real keybinding closures, require("srd") support). 10 unit tests.
- srdwm-x11: a real reparenting WM with a drawn title bar (buttons,
drag, resize), verified live under Xephyr - frame placement and
client offset match srdwm-core's computed geometry exactly, and the
decoration renders correctly on screen.
- srdwm-wayland: a from-scratch smithay compositor (the C++ version
had nothing working to port from) - runs via the winit backend,
tracks xdg-shell toplevels through the same WindowManager and
hit-testing code X11 uses, verified to start/render/run without
crashing. Decorations are solid-color (no text yet); see
docs/IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md for exact scope.
- srdwm-windows / srdwm-macos: structured, cfg-gated designs informed
by komorebi/glazewm and yabai/AeroSpace respectively (see
docs/PRIOR_ART.md), honestly marked as unbuilt/unverified since this
sandbox has no Windows or macOS target.
