.icon-item-type is now global, with extra styling to handle row selection when
it's inside the item tree.
getImageSrc() is still used for progress windows, which is probably OK for now
because those don't stay on screen for very long. I've updated it to return SVGs
based on the current UI color scheme.
Other code uses treeitem-* images directly; getting rid of those references will
cause a lot of conflicts and be a bit more involved than this initial pass, so
I'll put that in a separate PR.
- new icons
- new twisty (also for items tree)
- new mixin focus-states that can be re-used for less boilerplate
- dark/white compatible with tweaks for when tree is focused (these changes also affect items tree)
- removed macOS specific behaviour (blue-ish background, gradient for selected row)
- border-radius on highlight + spacing tweaks
- tweaked colors and fonts
- Support for "compact"/"comfortable"
Closes#2265
There's also new code for showing a different icon for snapshots, files,
and DOI/URL links, like the web library and iOS app, but it's commented
out for now. The bitmap icons create too much visual noise with the
greater information density and hierarchical tree of the desktop app
(not to mention many more low-DPI displays). We can revisit after
switching to SVGs across the board.
We can do fun things now.
Also:
- Make colored tag swatches resize with the font size
- Increase border radius for color swatches, and adjust with size
- Just a single huge commit. This has been developed over too long a
time, required many tiny changes across too many files and has seen too
many iterations to be separated into separate commits.
The original branch with all the messy commits will be kept around for
posterity
bb220ad0f2...adomasven:feature/react-item-tree
- Replaces XUL <tree> element across the whole zotero client codebase
with a custom supermegafast virtualized-table inspired by
react-virtualized yet mimicking old XUL treeview API. The
virtualized-table sits on top on a raw-to-the-metal,
interpreted-at-runtime JS based windowing solution inspired by
react-window. React-based solutions could not be used because they were
slow and Zotero UI needs to be responsive and be able to
display thousands of rows in a treeview without any slowdowns.
- Attempts were made at making this screen-reader friendly, but yet to
be tested with something like JAWS
- RTL-friendly
- Styling and behaviour across all platforms was copied as closely as
possible to the original XUL tree
- Instead of row-based scroll snapping this has smooth-scrolling. If
you're using arrow keys to browse through the tree then it effectively
snap-scrolls. Current CSS snap scroll attributes do not seem to work in
the way we would require even on up-to-date browsers, yet alone the ESR
version of FX that Zotero is on. JS solutions are either terrible for
performance or produce inexcusable jitter.
- When dragging-and-dropping items the initial drag freezes the UI for
a fairly jarring amount of time. Does not seem to be fixable due to
the synchronous code that needs to be run in the dragstart handler.
Used to be possible to run that code async with the XUL tree.
- Item tree column picker no longer has a dedicated button. Just
right-click the columns. The column preferences (width, order, etc) are
no longer handled by XUL, which required a custom serialization and
storage solution that throws warnings in the developer console due to
the amount of data being stored. Might cause temporary freezing on HDDs
upon column resize/reorder/visibility toggling.
- Context menu handling code basically unchanged, but any UI changes
that plugins may have wanted to do (including adding new columns) will
have to be redone by them. No serious thought has gone into how plugin
developers would achieve that yet.
- Opens up the possibility for awesome alternative ways to render the
tree items, including things like multiple-row view for the item tree,
which has been requested for a long while especially by users switching
from other referencing software
