* Allow users to make hiding exclusive to full screen
* Rename full screen option
* Fix hide mode dropdown ignoring checkbox state on startup
* Fix typing issue
* Refine background image handling
Giving the toolbar body the main webview height ensures background-size: cover behaves exactly the same.
To prevent an override of other background properties, users are advised to only set background-images via the background-image property, not the background shorthand.
* Fix top toolbar getting huge when switching modes
The issue was caused by the min-height hack to align the background images. A call to web.adjustHeightToFit would set the toolbar to the same height as the main webview, as the function makes use of document.offsetHeight.
* Prevent scrollbar from appearing on bottom toolbar resize
* Cleanup
* Put review tab before editing; fix some tab orders
* Rename 'network' to 'syncing'

Also fix bottom toolbar not appearing when unchecking hide mode in reviewer.
* Hide/Show menubar in fullscreen mode along with toolbar
* Attempt to fix broken native theme on macOS
* Format
* Improve native theme on other systems by not forcing palette
with the caveat that theme switching can get weird.
* Fix theme switching in native style

otherwise we can't guarantee the same look on all systems.
* Explicitly apply default style when Anki style is not selected
This should fix the style not switching back after it was selected.
* Remove reduncant default_palette
* Revert 8af4c1cc2
On Mac with native theme, both Qt5 and Qt6 look correct already. On
the Anki theme, without this change, we get the fusion-style scrollbars
instead of the rounded ones.
* Rename AnkiStyles enum to WidgetStyle
* Fix theme switching shades on same theme
* Format
* Remove unused placeholderText
that caused an error when opening the widget gallery on Qt5.
* Check for full screen windowState using bitwise operator
to prevent error in Qt5.

* Hide style option on Windows
also exclude native option from dropdown just in case.
* Format
* Minor naming tweak
* 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

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
* 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

* 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
