Compatible configurations include:
- Non-component builds.
- Debug builds on Mac/Linux.
- Release builds on Windows (b/c Debug builds require component builds).
- ASAN builds (which are also Release builds).
See related logic in //build_overrides/partition_alloc.gni
Now that args.gn is an input to the make_config_header target we
don't want to invalidate the build unnecessarily by modifying the
file if the contents are unchanged.
Also enables logging by default for Release builds (previously
required the `--enable-logging` flag). Logging can still be
disabled by passing the `--disable-logging` flag.
To test:
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style
--use-chrome-style-window [--background-color=green]`
- OS and Chrome theme changes behave as expected.
Include cef_config.h from base/cef_build.h and fix detection of
args.gn changes so that defines are available everywhere by default.
Fix include configuration for chrome_elf_set and sandbox targets.
Set enable_alloy_bootstrap=false to build with Alloy bootstrap code
removed. Extension API is documented as deprecated in comments but
not compiled out with this arg.
This is no longer required now that we have implicit exclusion
of certain frame types including guest view frames.
Rename GuestView to ExcludedView in the renderer process.
Adds support for the OnAcceleratedPaint callback. Verified to work
on macOS and Windows. Linux support is present but not implemented
for cefclient, so it is not verified to work.
To test:
Run `cefclient --off-screen-rendering-enabled --shared-texture-enabled`
Split the Alloy runtime into bootstrap and style components. Support
creation of Alloy style browsers and windows with the Chrome runtime.
Chrome runtime (`--enable-chrome-runtime`) + Alloy style
(`--use-alloy-style`) supports Views (`--use-views`), native parent
(`--use-native`) and windowless rendering
(`--off-screen-rendering-enabled`).
Print preview is supported in all cases except with windowless rendering
on all platforms and native parent on MacOS. It is disabled by default
with Alloy style for legacy compatibility. Where supported it can be
enabled or disabled globally using `--[enable|disable]-print-preview` or
configured on a per-RequestContext basis using the
`printing.print_preview_disabled` preference. It also behaves as
expected when triggered via the PDF viewer print button.
Chrome runtime + Alloy style behavior differs from Alloy runtime in the
following significant ways:
- Supports Chrome error pages by default.
- DevTools popups are Chrome style only (cannot be windowless).
- The Alloy extension API will not supported.
Chrome runtime + Alloy style passes all expected Alloy ceftests except
the following:
- `DisplayTest.AutoResize` (Alloy extension API not supported)
- `DownloadTest.*` (Download API not yet supported)
- `ExtensionTest.*` (Alloy extension API not supported)
This change also adds Chrome runtime support for
CefContextMenuHandler::RunContextMenu (see #3293).
This change also explicitly blocks (and doesn't retry) FrameAttached
requests from PDF viewer and print preview excluded frames (see #3664).
Known issues specific to Chrome runtime + Alloy style:
- DevTools popup with windowless rendering doesn't load successfully.
Use windowed rendering or remote debugging as a workaround.
- Chrome style Window with Alloy style BrowserView (`--use-alloy-style
--use-chrome-style-window`) does not show Chrome theme changes.
To test:
- Run `ceftests --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style
[--use-chrome-style-window] [--use-views|--use-native]
--gtest_filter=...`
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style
[--use-chrome-style-window]
[--use-views|--use-native|--off-screen-rendering-enabled]`
- Run `cefsimple --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style [--use-views]`
The call to SelectNativeTheme from ChromeBrowserFrame::Initialized was
causing Widget::ThemeChanged reentrancy via OnColorProviderCacheResetMissed
when running with `--enable-chrome-runtime --use-native`. Make all calls to
ThemeChanged async to avoid this and possible future issues.
Starting with Python 3.12, use of invalid escape sequences in strings
is reported as a SyntaxWarning and will become a SyntaxError at a
later point.
Regular expressions use the backslash character a lot, which result in
warnings of this kind. Python docs recommend to generally use raw
strings for this purpose.
Controls now respect OS and Chrome themes by default for both Alloy
and Chrome runtimes. Chrome themes (mode and colors) can be configured
using the new CefRequestContext::SetChromeColorScheme method. Individual
theme colors can be overridden using the new CefWindowDelegate::
OnThemeColorsChanged and CefWindow::SetThemeColor methods.
The `--force-light-mode` and `--force-dark-mode` command-line flags are
now respected on all platforms as an override for the OS theme.
The current Chrome theme, if any, will take precedence over the OS theme
when determining light/dark status. On Windows and MacOS the titlebar
color will also be updated to match the light/dark theme.
Testable as follows:
- Run: `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime` OR
`cefclient --use-views --persist-user-preferences --cache-path=...`
- App launches with default OS light/dark theme colors.
- Change OS dark/light theme under system settings. Notice that theme
colors change as expected.
- Right click, select items from the new Theme sub-menu. Notice that
theme colors behave as expected.
- Exit and relaunch the app. Notice that the last-used theme colors are
applied on app restart.
- Add `--background-color=green` to above command-line.
- Perform the same actions as above. Notice that all controls start
and remain green throughout (except some icons with Chrome runtime).
- Add `--force-light-mode` or `--force-dark-mode` to above command-line.
- Perform the same actions as above. Notice that OS dark/light theme
changes are ignored, but Chrome theme changes work as expected.
Chrome design changed to rounded top corners by default with
Chrome Refresh 2023. Square corners look better when the toolbar
is part of a custom Views-hosted layout, like in cefclient.
