From 99c088e277e7d79d7b4341d3f546c02e7254e107 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Schneider Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 07:17:07 -0300 Subject: G9: SelectionGlow, a soft halo round the body's selection MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit SelectionGlow on|off (off; a pixel shell's, Chrome.selection_glow): each block of selected rows in a pane body casts Lift's soft kind in the selection's own colour, the block its caster (never touched) and a cursor beside it joined to the caster; clipped to the bodies (never a tag or a grip); at most 22% (§8.2), less where the text round it would drop below min(its contrast, 4.5); fading in over 100 ms with an ease-out, on the core's continuous path (shell_continuous); none while panes move. Blocks come from the cells in the theme's selection colour (documented). Tests: the halo's colour, its clip to the body, nothing at its first frame and up to its cap after 100 ms, fading done.

What G8 changed: leaving was slower than arriving (a 300 ms dissolve against a 180 ms fall); §8.1 wants leaving the quicker, in 100 to 160 ms, so MessageDissolve now defaults to 150 (a test holds both bands). + +Notes on G9: the halo is Lift's soft kind in the selection's own colour, +cast by each block of selected rows in a pane body (the rows that touch), +with the block as its caster, so the selection itself is never touched; +a cursor beside a block joins the caster, so it is never glowed over +either.
