This implementation supports both GPU compositing and software compositing (used when GPU is not supported or when passing `--disable-gpu --disable-gpu-compositing` command-line flags). GPU-accelerated features (WebGL and 3D CSS) that did not work with the previous off-screen rendering implementation do work with this implementation when GPU support is available.
Rendering now operates on a per-frame basis. The frame rate is configurable via CefBrowserSettings.windowless_frame_rate up to a maximum of 60fps (potentially limited by how fast the system can generate new frames). CEF generates a bitmap from the compositor backing and passes it to CefRenderHandler::OnPaint.
The previous CefRenderHandler/CefBrowserHost API for off-screen rendering has been restored mostly as-is with some minor changes:
- CefBrowserHost::Invalidate no longer accepts a CefRect region argument. Instead of invalidating a specific region it now triggers generation of a new frame.
- The |dirtyRects| argument to CefRenderHandler::OnPaint will now always be a single CefRect representing the whole view (frame) size. Previously, invalidated regions were listed separately.
- Linux: CefBrowserHost::SendKeyEvent now expects X11 event information instead of GTK event information. See cefclient for an example of converting GTK events to the necessary format.
- Sizes passed to the CefRenderHandler OnPaint and OnPopupSize methods are now already DPI scaled. Previously, the client had to perform DPI scaling.
- Includes drag&drop implementation from issue #1032.
- Includes unit test fixes from issue #1245.
