The drawing code extracts style information from some "virtual"
widgets, which serve as logical placeholder for the actual nested
structure of tracks.
For sake of demonstration, I used rather obvious colours and
also all kinds of margin and padding; a screenshot was added
with annotations to indicate where some specific style settings
are utilised from the drawing code
As we continue with building the backbone of the UI,
and abundance of detail information regaring Layout and styling
will be encountered -- it is tantamount to have a place to
write those findings down....
bottom line is to do most autmatically, and to establish a slave-relation
navigation-area -> timeline-ruler
header-pane-content -> corresponding track-body
this can be accomplished mostly by connecting the aproprieate signals,
thus these widgets will live within the Layout-Manager, which consequently
is renamed into TimelineLayout
This switches the Lumiera UI from GTK-2 to GTK-3
Unfortunately, this move breaks two crucial features, which have been
disabled for now: the display of video and our custom timeline widget.
Since both of these require some reworking, which in fact has already
started, we prefer to do the library and framework switch right away.
This too was a long-standing issue. While these practices
basically can be considered "common knowledge", experience
showed those topics are frequently unknown even to practised
programmers.
So now we have a single page dealing with all those issues of
code bloat, dependency poliferation, binary dependency resolution
and issues of transitive and circular library dependencies
