This commit introduces "AtlasEngine", a new text renderer based on DxEngine.
But unlike it, DirectWrite and Direct2D are only used to rasterize glyphs.
Blending and placing these glyphs into the target view is being done using
Direct3D and a simple HLSL shader. Since this new renderer more aggressively
assumes that the text is monospace, it simplifies the implementation:
The viewport is divided into cells, and its data is stored as a simple matrix.
Modifications to this matrix involve only simple pointer arithmetic and is easy
to understand. But just like with DxEngine however, DirectWrite
related code remains extremely complex and hard to understand.
Supported features:
* Basic text rendering with grayscale AA
* Foreground and background colors
* Emojis, including zero width joiners
* Underline, dotted underline, strikethrough
* Custom font axes and features
* Selections
* All cursor styles
* Full alpha support for all colors
* _Should_ work with Windows 7
Unsupported features:
* A more conservative GPU memory usage
The backing texture atlas for glyphs is grow-only and will not shrink.
After 256MB of memory is used up (~20k glyphs) text output
will be broken until the renderer is restarted.
* ClearType
* Remaining gridlines (left, right, top, bottom, double underline)
* Hyperlinks don't get full underlines if hovered in WT
* Softfonts
* Non-default line renditions
Performance:
* Runs at up to native display refresh rate
Unfortunately the frame rate often drops below refresh rate, due us
fighting over the buffer lock with other parts of the application.
* CPU consumption is up to halved compared to DxEngine
AtlasEngine is still highly unoptimized. Glyph hashing
consumes up to a third of the current CPU time.
* No regressions in WT performance
VT parsing and related buffer management takes up most of the CPU time (~85%),
due to which the AtlasEngine can't show any further improvements.
* ~2x improvement in raw text throughput in OpenConsole
compared to DxEngine running at 144 FPS
* ≥10x improvement in colored VT output in WT/OpenConsole
compared to DxEngine running at 144 FPS
Drag and drop does not work for WSL because paths are pasted as windows
paths having incorrect path separator and path root. This PR adds code
to correct the path in TerminalControl before pasting to WSL terminals.
One problem with this approach is that it assumes the default WSL
automount root of "/mnt". It would be possible to add a setting like
"WslDragAndDropMountRoot"... but I decided it if someone wants to change
automount location it would be simple enough just to create the "/mnt"
symlink in WSL.
## Validation
Couldn't find an obvious place to add a test. Manually tested
cut-n-paste from following paths:
- "c:\"
- "c:\subdir"
- "c:\subdir\subdir"
- "\\wsl.localhost\<distro>"
- \\wsl.localhost\<distro>\subdir"
Closes#331
## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds support for vintage style opacity, on Windows 11+. The API we're using for this exists since the time immemorial, but there's a bug in XAML Islands that prevents it from working right until Windows 11 (which we're working on backporting).
Replaces the `acrylicOpacity` setting with `opacity`, which is a uint between 0 and 100 (inclusive), default to 100.
`useAcrylic` now controls whether acrylic is used or not. Setting an opacity < 100 with `"useAcrylic": false` will use vintage style opacity.
Mouse wheeling adjusts opacity. Whether acrylic is used or not is dependent upon `useAcrylic`.
`opacity` will stealthily default to 50 if `useAcrylic:true` is set.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Opacity was moved to AppearanceConfig. In the future, I have a mind to allow unfocused acrylic, so that'll be important then.
## Validation Steps Performed
_just look at it_
Adds support for users to be able to set font features and axes (see the spec for more details!)
## Detailed Description
**CustomTextLayout**
- Asks the `DxFontRenderData` for the font features when getting glyphs
- _If any features have been set/updated, we always skip the "isTextSimple" shortcut_
- Asks the `_formatInUse` for any font axes when mapping characters in `_AnalyzeFontFallback`
**DxFontRenderData**
- Stores a map of font features (initialized to the [standard feature list])
- Stores a map of font axes
- Has methods to add font features/axes to the map or update existing ones
- Has methods to retrieve the font features/axes
- Sets the font axes in the `IDWriteTextFormat` when creating it
## Validation Steps Performed
It works!

This pull request adds an appearance configuration object to our
settings model and app lib, allowing the control to be rendered
differently depending on its state, and then uses it to add support for
an "unfocused" appearance that the terminal will use when it's not in
focus.
To accomplish this, we isolated the appearance-related settings from
Profile (into AppearanceConfig) and TerminalSettings (into the
IControlAppearance and ICoreAppearance interfaces). A bunch of work was
done to make inheritance work.
The unfocused appearance inherits from the focused one _for that
profile_. This is important: If you define a
defaults.unfocusedAppearance, it will apply all of defaults' settings to
any leaf profile when a terminal in that profile is out of focus.

This pull request introduces Microsoft.Terminal.Core.Color as an
alternative to both Windows.UI.Color and uint32_t/COLORREF in the
TerminalCore, ...Control, ...SettingsModel and ...SettingsEditor layers.
M.T.C.Color is trivially convertible to/from til::color and therefore
to/from COLORREF, W.U.Color, and any other color representation we might
need².
I've replaced almost every use of W.U.Color and uint32_t-as-color in the
above layers, with minor exception¹.
The need for this work is twofold.
First: We cannot bear a dependency from TerminalCore (which should,
on paper, be Windows 7 compatible) on Windows.UI or any other WinRT
namespace.
This work removes one big dependency on Windows.UI, but it does not go
all the way.
Second: TerminalCore chose to communicate mostly in packed uint32s
(COLORREF), which was inherently lossy and dangerous.
¹ The UI layers (TerminalControl, TerminalApp) still use
Windows.UI.Color as they are intimately connected to the UWP XAML UI.
² In the future, we might even be able to *use* the alpha channel...
## PR Checklist
* [x] I ran into the need for this when I introduced cursor inversion
* [X] Fixes a longstanding itch
## Validation Steps Performed
Built and ran all tests for the impacted layers, even the local ones!
**BE NOT AFRAID**. I know that there's 107 files in this PR, but almost
all of it is just find/replacing `TerminalControl` with `Control`.
This is the start of the work to move TermControl into multiple pieces,
for #5000. The PR starts this work by:
* Splits `TerminalControl` into separate lib and dll projects. We'll
want control tests in the future, and for that, we'll need a lib.
* Moves `ICoreSettings` back into the `Microsoft.Terminal.Core`
namespace. We'll have other types in there soon too.
* I could not tell you why this works suddenly. New VS versions? New
cppwinrt version? Maybe we're just better at dealing with mdmerge
bugs these days.
* RENAMES `Microsoft.Terminal.TerminalControl` to
`Microsoft.Terminal.Control`. This touches pretty much every file in
the sln. Sorry about that (not sorry).
An upcoming PR will move much of the logic in TermControl into a new
`ControlCore` class that we'll add in `Microsoft.Terminal.Core`.
`ControlCore` will then be unittest-able in the
`UnitTests_TerminalCore`, which will help prevent regressions like #9455
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
You're really gonna want to clean the sln first, then merge this into
your branch, then rebuild. It's very likely that old winmds will get
left behind. If you see something like
```
Error MDM2007 Cannot create type
Microsoft.Terminal.TerminalControl.KeyModifiers in read-only metadata
file Microsoft.Terminal.TerminalControl.
```
then that's what happened to you.

I loved the pixel shaders in #7058, but that PR needed a bit of polish
to be ready for ingestion. This PR is almost _exactly_ that PR, with
some small changes.
* It adds a new pre-profile setting `"experimental.pixelShaderPath"`,
which lets the user set a pixel shader to use with the Terminal.
- CHANGED FROM #7058: It does _not_ add any built-in shaders.
- CHANGED FROM #7058: it will _override_
`experimental.retroTerminalEffect`
* It adds a bunch of sample shaders in `samples/shaders`. Included:
- A NOP shader as a base to build from.
- An "invert" shader that inverts the colors, as a simple example
- An "grayscale" shader that converts all colors to grayscale, as a
simple example
- An "raster bars" shader that draws some colored bars on the screen
with a drop shadow, as a more involved example
- The original retro terminal effects, as a more involved example
- It also includes a broken shader, as an example of what heppens
when the shader fails to compile
- CHANGED FROM #7058: It does _not_ add the "retroII" shader we were
all worried about.
* When a shader fails to be found or fails to compile, we'll display an
error dialog to the user with a relevant error message.
- CHANGED FROM #7058: Originally, #7058 would display "error bars"
on the screen. I've removed that, and had the Terminal disable the
shader entirely then.
* Renames the `toggleRetroEffect` action to `toggleShaderEffect`.
(`toggleRetroEffect` is now an alias to `toggleShaderEffect`). This
action will turn the shader OR the retro effects on/off.
`toggleShaderEffect` works the way you'd expect it to, but the mental
math on _how_ is a little weird. The logic is basically:
```
useShader = shaderEffectsEnabled ?
(pixelShaderProvided ?
pixelShader :
(retroEffectEnabled ?
retroEffect : null
)
) :
null
```
and `toggleShaderEffect` toggles `shaderEffectsEnabled`.
* If you've got both a shader and retro enabled, `toggleShaderEffect`
will toggle between the shader on/off.
* If you've got a shader and retro disabled, `toggleShaderEffect` will
toggle between the shader on/off.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Move `ICoreSettings` and `IControlSettings` from the TerminalSettings project to the TerminalCore and TerminalControl projects respectively. Also entirely removes the TerminalSettings project.
The purpose of these interfaces is unchanged. `ICoreSettings` is used to instantiate a terminal. `IControlSettings` (which requires an `ICoreSettings`) is used to instantiate a UWP terminal control.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
A lot of the work here was having to deal with winmd files across all of these projects. The TerminalCore project now outputs a Microsoft.Terminal.TerminalControl.winmd. Some magic happens in TerminalControl.vcxproj to get this to work properly.
## Validation Steps Performed
Deployed Windows Terminal and opened a few new tabs.
