This is pretty kludgy but we need the UIConfiguration object (or any color management object) to be the first to connect to
the ColorsChanged signal.
Might be better to make the UIConfiguration object a delegate for the ThemeManager.
Fixes excessive CPU usage (spinlock instead of sleep/WaitForSingleObject)
MS Windows has a scheduler time-slice of 15ms.
Ardour has two fast timeout functions: The FPS timeout (20-60Hz, clock
video-monitor) and a fast-screen-update (25Hz, meters etc).
They are loosely coupled (async) and scheduled from the main application
thread (gtk main).
Since they're async, gtk schedules them as needed. Even though the actual
period of the separate timeouts is larger. The effective period between
all timeout callbacks is <15ms and the main application thread never idles.
ArdourButtons now have a "pushed" animation.
The gradient is now implemented in the button, rather than providing 2 colors in the theme, which was burdensome.
Lots of code cleanup in ArdourButton. Removed several unnecessary flags.
Refactor more stuff into route_ui.
Up until now we were relying on various d'tors to do this cleanup for us. However, because we were calling 'exit()' (to terminate the program) those d'tors were never getting called. We should probably review the use of exit() as a termination strategy.
When populating the list of recent sessions, and there's only one session
file in the session folder, don't assume that the base name of the session
file is the same as the name of the session directory.
Allows loading sessions that were created with trailing spaces in their
names from the recent sessions list, and also helps in the case that the
session file (or directory) was renamed.
There are actually two implementations of the 'recent sessions' chooser:
this applies to both. I suppose a useful project one of these days
would be to unify the two...
If enabled, then the button simply changes the behaviour of the "play" button rather than actually starting playback. If disabled
transport behaviour should be unchanged from before.
