The Xfce4 power manager can control the display brightness. It doesn't
save and restore it over boots, however. In distributions with systemd
this is handled by "systemd-backlight@.service". For OpenRC the package
brightnessctl offers a service saving the state of the brightness at
shutdown and reboot.
As brightnessctl is a rather simple tool and not specifically adapted to
Xfce4, it can get confused when the power manager e.g. lowers the display
brightness when on idle. To avoid such a hassle, the display power settings
were simplifyed in repository "xfce4-phone" version 0.5.3 (and needed a
correction in version 0.5.4). Users nonetheless can change them if desired.
Actually Xfce4 is capable to use the "draw-user-backgrounds" option of
"slick-greeter", applying the users wallpaper on the greeter.
However, as it turns out, the users background in pmOS Xfce4 is set at first
login of the user. Therefore, the greeters background is black at the first
boot.
Therefore set the greeters background to the default postmarketOS wallpaper.
The main goal of switching LightDM to slick-greeter is to ease
enabling/disabling autologin. With "lightdm-settings" installed, there
is an administration/settings GUI "Login Window" available that allows
among others to configure autologin. Contrary to its general purpose
name, it works on LightDM greeter "slick-greeter" only.

Use install "-t" option, avoiding to repeat the file name and allowing to add
more than one file per command. Additionally sort the commands alphabetically
per path.
Exception is the lightdm autologin config file because it does a file renaming.
Put this command to the end.
Split the post-install scripts for the main package and the openrc subpackage.
They act on different things.

This allows the audio switching backend stuff to work on all UIs (see
!5072 / 87d355e08). For example, users of any UI can switch audio
backends by installing one of the pmos-base-ui-audio-* metapackages.

Notification daemon; provides nice HUD for volume control and allows
Blueman to normally send notifications instead of opening separate
windows (which can get very annoying for frequently-reconnecting
devices).
There are three changes from the config source "xfce4-phone":
- Move whiskermenu settings to xfconf (required by an upstream change)
- Hide tooltips by workaround (opacity and font size)
- Increase double-click distance tolerance
And one change in postmarketOS files:
- Enable mouse key buttons on onboard keyboard by default (eases
right-clicking)

Fixes this failure on a new install:

The xfce4-battery-plugin doesn't need to be installed anymore since we
switched to the "power manager plugin" in postmarketos-ui-xfce4 0.5.0.
The link to the old PostmarketOS icon isn't needed anymore for new
installations.

Actually package pulseaudio is needed instead of pulseaudio-utils.
Package pulseaudio-utils then gets drawn in by postmarketos-base-ui
sub-package pulseaudio.
For Xfce4 this is a cosmetic change because pulseaudio gets installed
as a dependency of pavucontol already. Keeping pulseaudio in the
_pmb_reccomends list makes sense to be clear which pieces are needed.
For MATE an explicit installation of pulseaudio is needed because it
doesn't use pavucontrol.

This should be reverted when this Alpine issue has been closed:
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/13778
sxmo-common already had this for some reason.

the networkmanager package in alpine was refactored and the wifi and
wwan components were split off into separate subpackages. without these,
wifi and wwan networking are broken.

Adding bluez to "depends" in order to enable bluetooth service (doesn't
work on packages in "_pmb_recommends").
Adding blueman to "_pmb_recommends" to allow uninstallation by the
user.
Closes https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/1465
postmarketos-ui-i3wm|mate.post-deinstall:
Contains removal of file "61-autologin.conf"|"65-autologin.conf".
However, this file is removed by apk automatically unpon
deinstallation.
postmarketos-ui-i3wm|mate|xfce4.pre-deinstall:
Contains disabling service "lightdm". Removing display manager service
upon deinstallation isn't done by other UIs either. It can lead to
unexpected behaviour when installing another UI using lightdm and then
uninstall MATE UI.
Additionally
postmarketos-ui-i3wm.post-upgrade:
Removed postmarketos-ui-i3wm.post-upgrade and replaced it with a link to
postmarketos-ui-i3wm.post-install, like it's done in MATE and Xfce4.
unclutter-xfixes version 1.6 introduced new options --hide-on-touch
and --start-hidden. That seems appropriate enough to cover the use
cases touchscreen usage (hide cursor) and mouse/touchpad usage (show
cursor).
The main change is to move the postmarketOS-specific Xfce4 configs
from /etc/skel to /etc/xdg. This improves the config handling because
the location in /etc/xdg can be defined as the default fallback
configs.
Moving the gtk-3.0 folder to /etc/xdg did not work. Therefore this
one remains in /etc/skel.
Beyond this, there are some minor changes from the xfce4-phone
repository:
- Change icon path of whiskermenu button to new location
- Apply pmOS wallpaper to more monitors
- Several clean-ups in the config files
The postmarketOS icon was moved to a new location (see issue
pmaports#1418). Therefore the button of whiskermenu in the panel
becomes empty. This commit creates a symlink at the old location
to restore the icon on existing Xfce4 installations.

Changes:
- Replace "Battery Monitor" by "Power Manager Plugin" (#1317)
- Fix the lower panel
- Change clock format from "1:23" to "01:23"
- Make font DPI changable for device package post-install scripts (#293)
- Reset list of keyboard shortcuts to default
- Remove brightness-switch properties from configs
Let every postmarketos-ui-* package have a link on top that points to
the new UI package reference. Do not put the link in <>, as it was done
with other references, since there's no benefit to it. It doesn't look
better and it doesn't make it easier to click the link or something, I
just did this initially because I saw it in GPL license headers.

Improvements from xfce4-phone source:
- Add screenshot to README.md
- Enable screen locking
- Disable Desktop icons "Home", "File System", "Trash"
- Enable single-click on Desktop
- Enable single-click in Thunar
- Change clock format
- Set postmarketos wallpaper
Additional changes in postmarketos-ui-xfce4:
- Installing greybird-themes (which is already set as default theme in
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml).
- Changing /etc/skel/.config/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop to
slightly speed up keysboard startup (overriding startup-delay of
/etc/xdg/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop).
- Enabling scrollbars by /etc/profile.d/enable-scrollbars.sh, this is
helpful where touch-scrolling doesn't work like e.g. in whiskermenu.
(And re-ordered network-manager-applet in APKBUILD _pmb_recommends
section.)
Also removing xfce4 subpackages of device-qemu-amd64,
device-qemu-aarch64 and device-nokia-n900. The device specific monitor
to set the wallpaper will now be automatically derived from "monitor0"
in file xfce4-desktop.xml.
Additionally taking maintainership as discussed in merge request
(!2506).
Installing "onboard" onscreen keyboard and enabling autostart.
Option "Don't auto-show while external keyboards are connected" is
activated.

Currently, shut down and reboot as a user does not work (sudo shutdown
from terminal required). polkit-elogind needs to be installed. lxpolkit
is not needed.
UIs that depend on networkmanager also have an added dependency on
dnsmasq since this was removed from postmarketos-base
[ci:ignore-count] lots of packages, but no code compilation..
At the moment we have Contributor: lines on some packages (but not all of them),
but often they don't represent the actual contributors to the package very well.
E.g. when we added them retroactively to the device packages we only added
the initial contributor (which isn't necessarily the person
who made most of the work for a device...)
The Git history is the most representative source for figuring out
who contributed to a package, so there is no reason to duplicate that
into the APKBUILD.
[skip ci]: way too many packages
The openrc service of lightdm has been moved to lightdm-openrc in
Alpine. Fix all UIs depending on lightdm, so their post-install script
does not fail with:
Executing postmarketos-ui-plasma-mobile-2-r6.post-install
* rc-update: service `lightdm' does not exist
