FS#1296 - Updated signal causes total relayout User who did this - Emmanuel Lepage Vallee (Elv13) ---------- The bottleneck is the exponential overhead caused by LGI. This is much better with 0.8, but far from perfect. So lets break your questions into smaller ones: > Is having multiple parents worth it? Yes and no. Awesome always supported that. As far as "why bother": legacy. While we broke people configs a ton of time, this one would be a little hard to port and some widgets, such as radical bar menus, are very heavy compared to a textbox. The overhead of having 1 copy on each of my 5 screen will be very noticeable when it come to all internal callback those widgets can generate. I would prefer to keep the widget tree linked top->bottom rather than double-linked. > Paint outside of the dedicated region. Well, if you look at other widget toolkits, Qt4 was forbidding that. Because of the same corner case I use it for, Qt5 now allow it. The problem is always the same: * People love shadow, shadow are outside of the widget * Glow * Power line array * grow when mouse::hover * transition animation Those use case cannot be implemented without allowing the widget to write outside of its rect. As it currently "just work" (and because I use it :P ) I would prefer this to be still supported one way or another. This can be done with "region of influence" rect as a second return value or something. There is a ton of ways to support it better than it currently is. If we want to get someday serious about animation (I do!). This is required. > How? Well, other toolkit use damaged area and hierarchical structures, so I guess you are going the right way. Rather than flagging the widget itself, I would flag it's container with a list of damaged children. It should mostly "solve" the multiple parent problem without additional logic. ---------- More information can be found at the following URL: https://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=1296#comment4148 You are receiving this message because you have requested it from the Flyspray bugtracking system.
