Replaces the binary 1.3× hover with a true gaussian bell curve — the
hovered icon still peaks at ~1.35×, but the ±1 neighbours also bulge
noticeably, ±2 a bit, and ±3+ relax to 1.0×. Footprint ~5 icons wide,
matching the macOS Dock fisheye feel.
Implementation in fn icon_scale_for(id):
- Reads the hovered icon's and the current icon's bounds from
self.rectangles (already populated by the existing RectangleTracker
subscription — no new plumbing).
- Distance = |this_center - hovered_center| along the panel's long axis
(horizontal for Top/Bottom anchors, vertical for Left/Right).
- sigma = hovered_extent * 1.4 so the bell's half-width matches one
icon width (neighbors clearly pulled, far icons untouched).
- scale = 1.0 + PEAK * exp(-(d/sigma)²) with PEAK = 0.35.
- Falls back to binary 1.35×/1.0× when rectangle data isn't populated
yet (first render / resize) — visibly responsive even before the
tracker catches up.
No widget signature changes vs v1, just a smarter formula. All five
as_icon call sites already pass the result of icon_scale_for so this
update propagates everywhere.
Still on the TODO list: smooth animation (b). Right now icon→icon
transitions snap instantly; a smoothed_hover_center + tick subscription
would lerp it. Deferred to a follow-up commit.
First pass at the signature macOS Dock effect — the icon under the
pointer grows, adjacent icons stay at base size. Full fisheye (smooth
bell-curve scaling on neighbors) can be a later iteration.
Changes in cosmic-app-list/src/app.rs:
- CosmicAppList gains a hovered_dock_item: Option<DockItemId>
auto-initialized to None via #[derive(Default)].
- New Message::DockItemHover(Option<DockItemId>) handled in update()
by just writing the field; view() then reads it to decide scale.
- DockItem::as_icon gains an icon_scale: f32 parameter. Inside it the
cosmic_icon width/height = (base_icon_size * icon_scale) clamped
to u16; indicator dot and other surrounding layout stay at base
size so only the icon visually bulges.
- New App::icon_scale_for(id) helper: 1.3 if Some(id) == hovered,
1.0 otherwise. Single place to tune the magnification factor.
- The two main dock rows (favorites + filtered_active_list) wrap
their rendered applet_tooltip in widget::mouse_area with
on_enter(DockItemHover(Some(id))) / on_exit(DockItemHover(None))
and call icon_scale_for before rendering.
- The three remaining as_icon call sites (DnD preview, favorites
overflow popup, active overflow popup) pass icon_scale = 1.0 —
hover magnification on those surfaces would look jittery and isn't
needed anyway.
Build: cargo build --release -p cosmic-app-list (≈ 7s). Binary
installed at /usr/local/bin/cosmic-app-list, backup kept as
.pre-magnification.
Implement optional filtering of apps by active workspace or configured
output. The filter_top_levels config option accepts None (no filtering),
ActiveWorkspace (workspace-only), or ConfiguredOutput (monitor and
workspace filtering).

With custom panel sizes, we use ranges that equal the values you would normally get from the hardcoded panel sizes

In the workspace applet, this now uses `Workspace` in the front-end code
instead of a tuple with unnamed fields. Handling of scrolling is also
moved to the frontend, which uses less code and seems more natural. It
would be good to have a helper in libcosmic for this. It also changes
`ObjectId` to `ExtWorkspaceHandleV1`, which is a little simpler and I
see no reason here to avoid the more strongly typed object.
At some point we may want a shared subscription for workspaces in
multiple applets. As well as a higher-level abstraction for screen
capture.
Requires pop-os/cosmic-protocols#49.
The duplication between applets, and
cosmic-workspace/xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic, should be moved to shared
abstractions. But that can be done after moving to
`ext-image-copy-capture`.
`ToplevelInfo` now contains both ext and cosmic handles, so the tuples
of handles and info are needed. Use just the info.
