Description Alexander Larsson 2012-08-30 17:16:19 UTC
I want to have a new scaling option where spice-gtk never scales up a display, as that kind of magnification is rarely what you want. However, it is very useful to scale down when a window is to small (so that you can see the entire vm in a smaller window).

For instance, you might have the vm be in the same resolution as your monitor so that fullscreen is 1:1, but then when you go out of fullscreen you see everything scaled down.

Also, I don't think it ever makes sense to scale a display without keeping the aspect ratio, that just makes things look weird.

Attaching a patch to implement this.

nice clean-up, and seems to work fine in all situations (virt-viewer zooming, MonitorsConfig area, server mouse-mode etc..)! thanks a bunch

I guess we need a new stable release for GNOME Boxes with those patches.

For some reason the background clearing is flickering on one of my machines after this, reopening.

I don't have this flickering. The patch is apparently harmless for me, but I don't understand why it would work better. ack if it fixes your issue.

sadly, it broke the build on mingw/gtk2

spice-widget-cairo.c: In function 'spicex_draw_event':

But also with older version of cairo (on rhel6):

Ugh, i guess we need to have fallbacks for the GdkRegion using case too. Should be simple.

Ugh, this leaks _region.

This could also use G_STMT_{START,END}

ack (I guess christophe would prefer G_STMT_{START,END} usage)
Comment 18 Alexander Larsson 2012-09-03 08:23:12 UTC
Well, its just used in one place and is a backwards compat define. I don't think making it "nicer" is all that important.
Comment 19 Alexander Larsson 2012-09-03 08:24:51 UTC
(I.E. there are reasons to use G_STMT_{START,END} for macros, but they don't affect the one use of the macro here.)
