To detect system time zone changes on Windows, the event we need to look for is WM_TIMECHANGE. The problem is how the callback with said message actually gets invoked is very particular. (1) We must have an active message pump (event loop) for the message to ever be processed. (2) We must be a GUI application as WM_TIMECHANGE messages are seemingly sent to top level windows only. It doesn't say that in the docs for the event, but attempts of creating a LibTest-based application with a message pump and a message only window and never receiving the event point to that probably being true. This workaround is built off the fact that Qt's message pump defined internally in QEventDispatcherWin32::processEvents does in fact receive WM_TIMECHANGE events, even though it is not exposed as a QEvent::Type. Given the requirements stated above it makes sense that it works here as the message pump is executing in a QGuiApplication context. So we use a native event filter to hook into the unexposed WM_TIMECHANGE event and forward it along to the on_time_zone_changed() callback. Note that if a Windows GUI framework is done in the future, we'll have to re-add support to ensure the TimeZoneWatcher still gets invoked. |

Ladybird
Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.
Important
Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
Features
We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.
Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes, an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.
Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content. Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.
At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:
- LibWeb: Web rendering engine
- LibJS: JavaScript engine
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
- LibMedia: Audio and video playback
- LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
- LibIPC: Inter-process communication
How do I build and run this?
See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.
Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.
How do I read the documentation?
Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
