Sidebar-resizer: change `$:/themes/...` tiddlers #8663

BurningTreeC · 2024-10-04T14:45:44Z

This PR uses the same mechanism as #8644 but changes the $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/metrics/... tiddlers directly.
Note that in fixed-fluid mode the story-river actually changes its width but the tiddlerwidth remains fixed width as there was no discussion yet how we handle this. I just made the tiddlers adapt to the story-river if the story-river-width goes below the tiddlerwidth.

There are some design questions:

should it be possible to make the story-river overlap the sidebar / the slider?
should the tiddlerwidth in fixed-fluid mode be updated? (keeping the gap between sidebar and story-river)

~~I haven't yet added the ControlPanel configurations used for storyminwidth and sidebarminwidth.~~
This PR is just for completeness, I will update it so that we can compare with other possible solutions.

In the meantime this PR has been updated quite a bit, I've put a current build here:

@Jermolene @saqimtiaz @pmario

sorry for tagging you 😸
But if you have time, could you test?
Especially fixed-fluid mode needs testing.
This here now works with pixel and percentage values.
It updates the $:/themes/... tiddlers directly.
In fixed-fluid mode it updates storyright and storyleft.
There's also the option to slide using ctrl in fixed-fluid mode. ctrl makes it possible to move the sidebar further to the left if there's a gap between story and sidebar. To test that, maybe set the storyright to 75% and the storywidth to 45% and the tiddlerwidth to 100% ... it becomes easier to understand like that.

The calculations are now done in wikitext in the procedures.
One thing I had to limit to not become less than 0 which is the storyleft.

BurningTreeC · 2024-10-06T08:44:58Z

This works now with all absolute css metrics:

Including percentage, which is easy to calculate.
If a metric was for instance "pt" or "%" before starting to resize, it will be updated as "pt" / "%" and so on.

The internal calculations are all done in pixel, so this first converts everything to pixel, then calculates, then converts back to the corresponding value.

I don't know if this can also support other relative css metrics...

BurningTreeC · 2024-10-06T09:05:17Z

As I said above, in fixed-fluid mode I'm not settled about how the gap between story-river and sidebar should be handled.
This implementation however can be modified easily in that regards

Hi @Jermolene @saqimtiaz @pmario @linonetwo

I've now done some experiments using pointer capture (not in this PR) and couldn't achieve what we achieve here.
Especially the behavior for pointerleave / pointerout / pointercancel - I wouldn't know which tricks to use to achieve them.

Anyway, now this PR fixed an important problem which is the editor and preview redrawing when resizing. Fixed 🥳 !

I had to use some JS for factory.js so that - if the class of the editor changes, it just assigns the new classes to the DomNode.

Is there a \whitespace trim in the code?

Do they create redundant DOM elements?

Hello all,
sorry for my silence, I had other things in mind the last months.
Can you give me some guidance what's still needed to make this core-ready?
Also, are you still interested in this?

pmario · 2025-03-17T11:26:09Z

@BurningTreeC @Jermolene -- I would love to get that PR merged.

Jermolene

Hi @BurningTreeC.

My main concern is the overall size of these changes. It is useful functionality, but these changes add 34,124 byte to index.html, which is 1.2% of the size of empty.html. That's twice the size of recent WYSIWYG editor libraries.

As I note below, there is a lot of duplication in the code. If we can, I'd rather get the overhead down by improving core functionality to make the necessary changes cleaner and more reusable. We've been making good progress exploring ways to make wikitext and filters more expressive and efficient, and I think this PR would make an excellent driver for further improvements.

In the meantime, I think we need to look at the possibility of a much smaller PR that just makes the necessary core modifications to allow this functionality to be shipped as a plugin.

We have adopted the convention that core functions should be prefixed tf.. In this case I think it would be preferable to create a little, local macro that encapsulates the entire <$text> widget, called something like <<theme-name>>.

These dense, repetitious filters stick out a little. Is there some way that they could be simplified?

BurningTreeC · 2025-03-25T13:21:44Z

Hi @Jermolene @pmario and all others interested.
I'll make a plugin out of this.

BurningTreeC · 2025-03-25T13:22:34Z

Maybe while making a plugin I find ways how to shrink it so that it becomes suitable for the core

pmario · 2025-03-25T14:19:41Z

I would be interested in a plugin like this, if it is possible.

Jermolene · 2025-03-27T09:20:23Z

Thanks @BurningTreeC @pmario I do think this functionality would make a lot of users very happy. I remain very keen to try to get the necessary primitives into the core. Perhaps we might start with something relatively simple like the CSS unit conversions.

Hello @Jermolene

Would you be in favor of me adding the CSS unit conversions as functions or should they be implemented in JS?

Jermolene · 2025-05-18T20:34:09Z

Hi @BurningTreeC on reflection I think it may be premature to make that change. If we're going the plugin route then it would make more sense to focus on the smallest, simplest core modifications that would support the plugin, and then at a later stage review generic functionality like the CSS unit conversions for inclusion in the core.

BurningTreeC · 2025-05-24T07:05:11Z

Hello @Jermolene
Ok I'm trying to go the plugin route at the moment.
One issue I'm facing is packing the different theme-styles - for "centralised" for example - in the plugin but activating them only when the "centralised" theme is active. Is there an option to do so somewhere?

Jermolene · 2025-05-24T12:51:16Z

Hi @BurningTreeC the simplest solution might be for the stylesheets themselves to include conditional code that checks the current value of $:/theme. In the v5.4.0 timeframe we intend to merge the subplugins PR which could serve as the basis for a more direct mechanism.
