Description: - dragging tab or whole window will use half transparent "ghost" image of the window with real content. Ghost window image will follow mouse cursor. - ghost image should be rescaled to some maximized ghost image size, for performance and usability reasons - ghost image should be created outside EQ thread, performance reasons - image should visually move back to original location if drop was not succesfull - image should darken a bit when dragged over area which is refusing drop - such indication will replace DnD cursors, which are not that intuitive not reliable (problems on various platforms) Dependencies, risks and fallbacks: - JNA library allows access to ghost drag image. Without JNA, we will use non-transparent drag image. - Performance risk: We will need to change/improve/update winsys DnD architecture and glass pane usage to tune drag performance. Time estimation: 3 man weeks
implemented.
