Better Text Layout (TextKit 2)

Adopts TextKit 2, the result is more reliable text layout, especially in vertical mode, and with exotic characters like Emoji.

Two screenshots below show the difference: left is old version (Emoji overlaps with other glyphs), right is new version.

This new TextKit 2 is an effort to modernize text rendering, in theory it should also benefit the display for other scripts. Let me know if you have any comment.

P.S. This is also an elegant fix for the annoying line height alternation when Emoji shows and disappears.

Requires macOS 12+

Ventura Icon

• Update to librime 1.8.5
• Fix highlighted candidate strip bugs when there're unsupported characters in specified font
• Wider icon compatible with MacOS 13+
• Register for both Traditional and Simplified Chinese

Hilighted Candidate Shadow

• Add style/shadow_size: 5 to specify shadow under selected candidate. Default to 0 with no shadow.
• Add style/mutual_exclusive: true/false to allow colors not stack on each other, and have greater flexibility in transparency. Default to false
• Improvements:
  • Better line length calculation
  • Better handling of negative border width

UI Improvements

• style/memorize_size: true/false can control if you want stable first candidate position, i.e. rime#523
• style/alpha: 0 is now valid, can thus will completely hide the panel
• Surrounding high lights for all candidates:
  • setting preset_color_schemes/xxx/candidate_back_color will enable them
  • style/surrounding_extra_expansion will control the relative size to the selected candidate's surrounding block. Can be negative.
• Various improvements:
  • style/border_height and style/border_width can now be negative, use in combination with style/corner_radius
  • style/line_spacing and spacing can now be negative.
  • All font_size can be float numbers.
  • labels are vertically centered when using a different label_font_size from the main font_size
• Allow simplifier to block comments when tips is set to none by adding allow_erase_comment: true under the simplifier's settings.

Recompiled for Monterey

• Translucent background ("style/translucency": true)
• Inline first candidate ("style/inline_candidate": true)
