Bug 236476 – [GTK] Sync gtk-overlay-scrolling setting to web process

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Catanzaro]

Instead of checking only this environment variable, let's check the GtkSetting value as well. This is possible since r280077 now that we have GtkSettingsManager and GtkSettingsManagerProxy. Note the environment variable surprisingly actually overrides the value in settings. Also note the environment variable is specific to GTK 3 only.

Note this isn't quite right, because it's no longer static, so ScrollbarThemeAdwaita will check for settings changes, but RenderThemeScrollbar actually is still static so it won't check... I should change one or the other before landing this, probably RenderThemeScrollbar. Opinions welcome.

[Michael Catanzaro]

I suppose I'll change it to be not static.

Do scrollbar invalidate if you change the setting in runtime? Existing code listens to "notify::gtk-theme-name", so I suppose you'll need to listen to "notify::gtk-overlay-scrolling" as well.

We have notifies for everything here.

That's UI process, I mean on the web process side.

[Alice Mikhaylenko]

To be more specific, check this line in ScrollbarThemeGtk.cpp:

g_signal_connect(gtk_settings_get_default(), "notify::gtk-theme-name", G_CALLBACK(themeChangedCallback), nullptr);

[Michael Catanzaro]

Well it won't *immediately* notice changes, but it should notice next time scrollbars are drawn, because the change does get synced to the web process, yes? It's checking the setting each time. The setting is just a bool, so there isn't anything else to sync like there is in themeChangedCallback.

[Alice Mikhaylenko]

Well, hence I wonder if it should call themeChanged() so it notices the changes immediately? :)

[Michael Catanzaro]

OK, sure.
