Hello, I’m writing to this mailing list because I am in the middle of some work that I am really hoping to complete for release in 2.93. However, this is a bit complicated by the UI Module now being “headless”, Brecht’s move to Rendering, and that some of my changes are Windows-specific.
This starts with D8084 <https://developer.blender.org/D8084> - “UI: Join or Close Any Area” – which allows joining of almost any areas, adds the ability to “Close” any editor, and generally makes area maintenance functions a bit easier and more discoverable. Because the above makes some window management functions easier to find, I had started on some refactoring of window-creation routines, mostly to address some long-standing problems on Windows. That is mostly done and things are running fine on Windows now, with just a few stragglers: An omission in my Win32 changes results in owned windows (like Window / New Window) not being able to go “full screen”. That is fixed in D10470 <https://developer.blender.org/D10470>. One long-standing problem, positioning of child windows on Multiple windows, has been improved but could be better. D10469 <https://developer.blender.org/D10469> makes it perfect. A long-standing, but fairly obscure, problem where some windows could draw text at the wrong size because of other windows with varying DPI is fixed in D10483 <https://developer.blender.org/D10483>. Less important, and a bit more optional, is the last of the window-creation refactoring, in D10419 <https://developer.blender.org/D10419>. This mostly just simplifies code but also makes it so that Window / New Window gives a less complex layout. It isn't a big problem if only some, or even none, of these are not approved in time for 2.93, but I just don't want to scramble at the last moment.
