Auto-hide toolbar in Reviewer (#2262)
* Give webviews a slide-in animation

if reduced motion isn't set.

* Auto-hide toolbar in review mode

moving the mouse above the main webview expands the toolbar. When the mouse leaves the toolbar, it will collapse after a delay of 2s.

* Save some space on bottom toolbars

* Use props for all hard-coded transition durations

and decrease most commonly used duration (200ms) to 150ms.

* Move auto-hide logic into ToolbarWebView

and handle auto-hide specific events in the respective webview subclasses.

* Fix typing issues

* Fix flickering issue

* Add auto_hide_toolbar opt-in to preferences

* Rename hide_toolbar to collapse_toolbar

to better describe the dock-like behaviour.

* Rename setting to minimize_distractions

* Reduce calls to pm in eventFilter

* Run formatter

* Revert setting title to something more specific

* Increase default animation time to 180ms

* Inset toolbar in review mode

when auto-hide is not enabled.

* Use card background on toolbar and add glass effect

* Use flatten/elevate over inset/outset

* Use flatten/elevate over inset/outset

* Update toolbar.py

* Fix toolbar background delay

* Tweak styles

* Use "collapse" instead of "auto-hide"

* Fix background misalignment in collapse mode

* Do not collapse toolbar when pointer is outside MainWebView

* Reduce hide_timer interval to 1000ms

* Use CSS to hide toolbar instead of setting webview height

* Add guard to prevent backdrop-filter: blur on Qt 5.14

* Apply transition to body instead of toolbar

to not complicate things for #2301.

* Fix Qt 5.14 and apply guard globally

* Fix background image scaling difference

* Tweak preference wording (dae)

Move away from Bazel (#2202)
(for upgrading users, please see the notes at the bottom)

Bazel brought a lot of nice things to the table, such as rebuilds based on
content changes instead of modification times, caching of build products,
detection of incorrect build rules via a sandbox, and so on. Rewriting the build
in Bazel was also an opportunity to improve on the Makefile-based build we had
prior, which was pretty poor: most dependencies were external or not pinned, and
the build graph was poorly defined and mostly serialized. It was not uncommon
for fresh checkouts to fail due to floating dependencies, or for things to break
when trying to switch to an older commit.

For day-to-day development, I think Bazel served us reasonably well - we could
generally switch between branches while being confident that builds would be
correct and reasonably fast, and not require full rebuilds (except on Windows,
where the lack of a sandbox and the TS rules would cause build breakages when TS
files were renamed/removed).

Bazel achieves that reliability by defining rules for each programming language
that define how source files should be turned into outputs. For the rules to
work with Bazel's sandboxing approach, they often have to reimplement or
partially bypass the standard tools that each programming language provides. The
Rust rules call Rust's compiler directly for example, instead of using Cargo,
and the Python rules extract each PyPi package into a separate folder that gets
added to sys.path.

These separate language rules allow proper declaration of inputs and outputs,
and offer some advantages such as caching of build products and fine-grained
dependency installation. But they also bring some downsides:

- The rules don't always support use-cases/platforms that the standard language
tools do, meaning they need to be patched to be used. I've had to contribute a
number of patches to the Rust, Python and JS rules to unblock various issues.
- The dependencies we use with each language sometimes make assumptions that do
not hold in Bazel, meaning they either need to be pinned or patched, or the
language rules need to be adjusted to accommodate them.

I was hopeful that after the initial setup work, things would be relatively
smooth-sailing. Unfortunately, that has not proved to be the case. Things
frequently broke when dependencies or the language rules were updated, and I
began to get frustrated at the amount of Anki development time I was instead
spending on build system upkeep. It's now about 2 years since switching to
Bazel, and I think it's time to cut losses, and switch to something else that's
a better fit.

The new build system is based on a small build tool called Ninja, and some
custom Rust code in build/. This means that to build Anki, Bazel is no longer
required, but Ninja and Rust need to be installed on your system. Python and
Node toolchains are automatically downloaded like in Bazel.

This new build system should result in faster builds in some cases:

- Because we're using cargo to build now, Rust builds are able to take advantage
of pipelining and incremental debug builds, which we didn't have with Bazel.
It's also easier to override the default linker on Linux/macOS, which can
further improve speeds.
- External Rust crates are now built with opt=1, which improves performance
of debug builds.
- Esbuild is now used to transpile TypeScript, instead of invoking the TypeScript
compiler. This results in faster builds, by deferring typechecking to test/check
time, and by allowing more work to happen in parallel.

As an example of the differences, when testing with the mold linker on Linux,
adding a new message to tags.proto (which triggers a recompile of the bulk of
the Rust and TypeScript code) results in a compile that goes from about 22s on
Bazel to about 7s in the new system. With the standard linker, it's about 9s.

Some other changes of note:

- Our Rust workspace now uses cargo-hakari to ensure all packages agree on
available features, preventing unnecessary rebuilds.
- pylib/anki is now a PEP420 implicit namespace, avoiding the need to merge
source files and generated files into a single folder for running. By telling
VSCode about the extra search path, code completion now works with generated
files without needing to symlink them into the source folder.
- qt/aqt can't use PEP420 as it's difficult to get rid of aqt/__init__.py.
Instead, the generated files are now placed in a separate _aqt package that's
added to the path.
- ts/lib is now exposed as @tslib, so the source code and generated code can be
provided under the same namespace without a merging step.
- MyPy and PyLint are now invoked once for the entire codebase.
- dprint will be used to format TypeScript/json files in the future instead of
the slower prettier (currently turned off to avoid causing conflicts). It can
automatically defer to prettier when formatting Svelte files.
- svelte-check is now used for typechecking our Svelte code, which revealed a
few typing issues that went undetected with the old system.
- The Jest unit tests now work on Windows as well.

If you're upgrading from Bazel, updated usage instructions are in docs/development.md and docs/build.md. A summary of the changes:

- please remove node_modules and .bazel
- install rustup (https://rustup.rs/)
- install rsync if not already installed  (on windows, use pacman - see docs/windows.md)
- install Ninja (unzip from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases/tag/v1.11.1 and
  place on your path, or from your distro/homebrew if it's 1.10+)
- update .vscode/settings.json from .vscode.dist

Add comments to Sass variables and tweak main window (#2137)
* Prevent multiple inclusion of variables in CSS files

* Use dict instead of tuple for variables

* Add comments to variables

* Improve appearance of main window

* Tweak main window styles

* Use json.dumps over pprint.format

* Make study button primary

* Improve header margin

* Make bottom toolbar slimmer

* Make congrats page more balanced

* Fix type issue

* Replace day/night with light/dark

* Exclude top-level-drag-row from hover effect

* Create dataclass for variables

* Run formatter

* Apply CSS variables from Python side

Why go full-circle with the Sass variables? This way we only need one interface for add-on authors to interact with. It also makes it easier for us to apply additional themes in the future.

* Fix typing

* Fix rgba values in Qt

* Darken button background

* Fix palette not being applied in light theme

For some odd reason this problem arose much later than #2016.

* Tweak default button look

* Reformat

* Apply CSS vars to ts pages

* Include elevation in button_mixins_lib

* Cast opacity to int

* Add some margin to studiedToday info

* Tweak light theme button gradient

* Tweak highlight-bg for light theme

* Add back default button color

as it made the browser sidebar tool icons dark in light theme.

* Reformat

* Tweak light theme buttons once more

Sorry for the back-and-forth. Sass only compiles when there are changes in user files, not when I only change the vars.

* Fix bottom toolbar button indicators

* Make buttons more clicky

* Fix button padding

* Handle macOS separately again

* Decrease elevation effect for main window buttons to 1

* Imitate box-shadow for Qt elements

* Adjust shadow vars

* Adjust primary border color

because the save button in the deck options had a lighter color than its background gradient.

* Boost box-shadow color of primary buttons

* Format

* Adjust Qt box-shadow imitation and shadow colors

* Use more subtle default shadow color

* Add some more padding to top toolbar

* Revert "Apply CSS vars to ts pages"

This reverts commit 5d8e7f6b7ffc8894b6517ecbb8cfba35407fc69a.

* Revert "Apply CSS variables from Python side"

This reverts commit 87db774412fd2bfd75e2630d2c5e782daef96b5f.

* Better match the standard macOS buttons

In the dark theme the standard color is a lighter grey, but at least
the size/shape is similar again.

This doesn't work for the editor buttons.

* Reduce the top margin of the congrats screen

* Fix illegible buttons when changing theme on macOS; match dark button style

Introduce new color palette using Sass maps (#2016)
* Remove --medium-border variable

* Implement color palette using Sass maps

I hand-picked the gray tones, the other colors are from the Tailwind CSS v3 palette.

Significant changes:
- light theme is brighter
- dark theme is darker
- borders are softer

I also deleted some platform- and night-mode-specific code.

* Use custom colors for note view switch

* Use same placeholder color for all inputs

* Skew color palette for more dark values

by removing gray[3], which wasn't used anywhere. Slight adjustments were made to the darker tones.

* Adjust frame- window- and border colors

* Give deck browser entries --frame-bg as background color

* Define styling for QComboBox and QLineEdit globally

* Experiment with CSS filter for inline-colors

Inside darker inputs, some colors like dark blue will be hard to read, so we could try to improve text-color contrast with global adjustments depending on the theme.

* Use different map structure for _vars.scss

after @hgiesel's idea: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/2016#discussion_r947087871

* Move custom QLineEdit styles out of searchbar.py

* Merge branch 'main' into color-palette

* Revert QComboBox stylesheet override

* Align gray color palette more with macOS

* Adjust light theme

* Use --slightly-grey-text for options tab color

* Replace gray tones with more neutral values

* Improve categorization of global colors

by renaming almost all of them and sorting them into separate maps.

* Saturate highlight-bg in light theme

* Tweak gray tones

* Adjust box-shadow of EditingArea to make fields look inset

* Add Sass functions to access color palette and semantic variables

in response to https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/2016#issuecomment-1220571076

* Showcase use of access functions in several locations

@hgiesel in buttons.scss I access the color palette directly. Is this what you meant by "... keep it local to the component, and possibly make it global at a later time ..."?

* Fix focus box shadow transition and remove default shadow for a cleaner look

I couldn't quite get the inset look the way I wanted, because inset box-shadows do not respect the border radius, therefore causing aliasing.

* Tweak light theme border and shadow colors

* Add functions and colors to base_lib

* Add vars_lib as dependency to base_lib and button_mixins_lib

* Improve uses of default-themed variables

* Use old --frame-bg color and use darker tone for canvas-default

* Return CSS var by default and add palette-of function for raw value

* Showcase use of palette-of function

The #{...} syntax is required only because the use cases are CSS var definitions. In other cases a simple palette-of(keyword, theme) would suffice.

* Light theme: decrease brightness of canvas-default and adjust fg-default

* Use canvas-inset variable for switch knob

* Adjust light theme

* Add back box-shadow to EditingArea

* Light theme: darken background and flatten transition

also set hue and saturation of gray-8 to 0 (like all the other grays).

* Reduce flag colors to single default value

* Tweak card/note accent colors

* Experiment with inset look for fields again

Is this too dark in night mode? It's the same color used for all other text inputs.

* Dark theme: make border-default one shade darker

* Tweak inset shadow color

* Dark theme: make border-faint darker than canvas-default

meaning two shades darker than it currently was.

* Fix PlainTextInput not expanding

* Dark theme: use less saturated flag colors

* Adjust gray tones

* Fix nested variables not getting extracted correctly

* Rename canvas-outset to canvas-elevated

* Light theme: darken canvas-default

* Make canvas-elevated a bit darker

* Rename variables and use them in various components

* Refactor button mixins

* Remove fusion vars from Anki

* Adjust button gradients

* Refactor button mixins

* Fix deck browser table td background color

* Use color function in buttons.scss

* Rework QTabWidget stylesheet

* Fix crash on browser open

* Perfect QTableView header

* Fix bottom toolbar button gradient

* Fix focus outline of bottom toolbar buttons

* Fix custom webview scrollbar

* Fix uses of vars in various webviews

The command @use vars as * lead to repeated inclusion of the CSS vars.

* Enable primary button color with mixin

* Run prettier

* Fix Python code style issues

* Tweak colors

* Lighten scrollbar shades in light theme

* Fix code style issues caused by merge

* Fix harsh border color in editor

caused by leftover --medium-border variables, probably introduced with a merge commit.

* Compile Sass before extracting Python colors/props

This means the Python side doesn't need to worry about the map structure and Sass functions, just copy the output CSS values.

* Desaturate primary button colors by 10%

* Convert accidentally capitalized variable names to lowercase

* Simplify color definitions with qcolor function

* Remove default border-focus variable

* Remove redundant colon

* Apply custom scrollbar CSS only on Windows and Linux

* Make border-subtle color brighter than background in dark theme

* Make border-subtle color a shade brighter in light theme

* Use border-subtle for NoteEditor and EditorToolbar border

* Small patches
