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.
To test:
Run `cefclient.exe --use-views --hide-frame --hide-controls`
Add `--enable-chrome-runtime` for the same behavior using the Chrome location
bar instead of a text field.
- Move all tests from the top-level directory to tests/.
- Move files shared by cefclient and unittests to tests/shared/.
- Add a fused (single header/source file) version of gtest in
tests/gtest/ with associated CMake configuration.
- Test-only headers are now exposed in include/test/. Unit test
targets must define UNIT_TEST in order to access them.
- Replace usage of USING_CEF_SHARED with WRAPPING_CEF_SHARED for
clarity (only the libcef_dll_wrapper target should define it).
- Remove the RENAME_DIRECTORY CMake macro which is no longer used.
- Remove C++11 usage from unittests sources for compatibility with
the binary distribution configuration.
- Windows: Fix build errors due to chrome_elf.dll and imm32.lib
missing from the CMake configuration.
- Add Views header files in a new include/views directory.
- Add initial top-level window (CefWindow), control (CefBrowserView,
CefLabelButton, CefMenuButton, CefPanel, CefScrollView,
CefTextfield) and layout (CefBoxLayout, CefFlowLayout) support.
See libcef/browser/views/view_impl.h comments for implementation
details.
- Add Views example usage in cefclient and cefsimple and Views unit
tests in cef_unittests. Pass the `--use-views` command-line flag to
cefclient, cefsimple and cef_unittests to run using the Views
framework instead of platform APIs. For cefclient and cefsimple
this will create the browser window and all related functionality
using the Views framework. For cef_unittests this will run all
tests (except OSR tests) in a Views-based browser window. Views-
specific unit tests (`--gtest_filter=Views*`) will be run even if
the the `--use-views` flag is not specified.
- Pass the `--hide-frame` command-line flag to cefclient to demo a
frameless Views-based browser window.
- Pass the `--hide-controls` command-line flag to cefclient to demo a
browser window without top controls. This also works in non-Views
mode.
- Pass the `--enable-high-dpi-support` command-line flag to
cef_unittests on Windows to test high-DPI support on a display
that supports it.
- Add CefImage for reading/writing image file formats.
- Add CefBrowser::DownloadImage() for downloading image URLs as a
CefImage representation. This is primarily for loading favicons.
- Add CefMenuModel::CreateMenuModel() and CefMenuModelDelegate for
creating custom menus. This is primarily for use with
CefMenuButton.
- Add CefBrowser::TryCloseBrowser() helper for closing a browser.
Also improve related documentation in cef_life_span_handler.h.
- Rename cef_page_range_t to cef_range_t. It is now also used by
CefTextfield.
- Remove CefLifeSpanHandler::RunModal() which is never called.
- Add draggable regions example to cefclient.
