Simplify preferences by removing the ability to load them from
either the startup.blend or userpref.blend.
Also simplifies updating default preferences by moving
them to a struct definition.
Use full saturation (since some intensity is lost when blending),
Set blend back to 0.5, made color look dull which isn't good when
some of the colors are similar (faded orange/yellow).
- Make edges darker in vert & face select mode (making more
contrast to not loose the topology). Downside is less select
edges visibility in vertex mode. But I'm confident that it's not
as painfull as it seems.
- Make select faces less saturated to have more color contrast
between select faces and edges.
- Make unselected faces white to increase contrast with faces and
edges. The brightening is negligeable for bright surfaces and
help readability on darker surfaces. Reminder that if the faces
overlays are too distracting (i.e: uv mapping, or texturing) they
can be toggled off in the overlay panel.

While this consistency is useful, green selection in edit mode does not stand
out as much as orange. This can cause problems for some users, it seems to
depend on the person. Overall the risk of making the change at this point in
the release cycle is too high.
This reverts commit 5827a47280.
* Change circle to roundbox around active icons, so they don't overflow.
* Change text color to indicate selected and active state.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D4650
Helps to:
* Make a connection between what we see in Outliner, Viewport and Properties editor
(clicking on the obdata icon takes us to Edit mode, which shares colors).
* Quickly tell which mode we are in.
* Armatures have now distinct color when in Object, Edit, and Pose modes.
Missing is Pose mode which is currently cyan in the viewport and obdata category in properties,
it would probably need its own special category though as it doesn't match the others.
The main reason for this change is to allow setting the
active frame with the left mouse button, while still being
able to select e.g. keyframes with the same mouse button.
The solution is to introduce a new scrubbing region with
a specialized keymap. There are a couple of related todos,
that will be handled in separate commits.
Those are listed in D4654.
This solves T63193.

This removes the large edges and instead use colors to hint in which
selection mode the user is.
The component in each individual selection mode is more prominent to add
more emphasis. The other components are less prominent and dimmed.
A minor default theme changes needed to be made to keep clarity in all
combinations.
Forcing old behavior (no selection mode hit) could be done quite easily
by just making the 2 booleans true (selectFaces and selectEdges).

Previous selected text color was almost invisible against the dark background.
Use same selected/highlight color as in other places in the default theme.
Issue reported on Devtalk by user Symstract
It is now possible to adjust the group node background alpha.
The defaults are the same as before, but you can now adjust the alpha
level via the theme preferences (and the alpha value is no longer hard
coded).
TH_BACK was being used when drawing the 3D view even though
there was no way to set the color in the preferences.
The color was zero'd when moving to the new 2.8x theme.
Having both gradient and background colors was confusing,
especially having to use 'TH_HIGH_GRAD' for the 3D view, 'TH_BACK' for
other views.
Move the background color back to 'TH_BACK', 'TH_BACK_GRAD' is used
when gradients are enabled.
RNA is unchanged so presets don't need updating.

Does the following changes visible to users:
* Use panels and sub-panels for more structured & logical grouping
* Re-organized options more logically than before (see images in D4148)
* Use flow layout (single column by default).
* New layout uses horizontal margin if there's enough space.
* Change size of Preferences window to suit new layout.
* Move keymap related options from "Input" into own section.
* Own, left-bottom aligned region for Save Preferences button.
* Adjustments of names, tooltips & icons.
* Move buttons from header into the main region (except editor switch).
* Hide Preferences header when opened in temporary window.
* Use full area width for header.
* Don't use slider but regular number widget for UI scale.
* Gray out animation player path option if player isn't "Custom"
Internal changes:
* Rearrange RNA properties to match changed UI structure.
* Introduces new "EXECUTE" region type, see reasoning in D3982.
* Changes to panel layout and AZone code for dynamic panel region.
* Bumps subversion and does versioning for new regions.
RNA changes are documented in the release notes:

Fix for T59219 was using low alpha-light grey for text background
so editing text would always be slightly brighter then the existing
background.
This causes outliner rename to have low alpha making text overlap
icons.
Use solid color to avoid issues with overlapping UI
elements in the future.
By default the text button background color was a similar brightness
to the cursor, making it hard to see at times.
Button types number/slider/text background brightness when editing
varied quite a lot too.
- Change the background while editing to match the number button.
- Darken the selection for greater contrast.
Resolves T59219
One issue that especially newer users often run into is that they accidentally reset changes to the scene by switching frame without creating a keyframe first.
Therefore, this commit adds a new color that is used to draw properties if their current value differs from the one that would be set when switching to this frame.
This works both for existing keyframes as well as for currently interpolated frames.
Unfortunately the flags in but->flag are full, so I had to move the new flag to but->drawflag and pass that to all relevant functions.
I went with orange for the color since afaics it fits with the green and yellow that are currently used for keyframe states and since it's somewhat reddish to signify that there might be something to look out for here.

Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

I also added categories for future work, but commented them out.
We may also want to redesign contents of each section now.

* 3D Viewport grid adjustment to work with both bright/dark viewports (e.g. 2D Animation)
* Match header/grid of NLA with Dopesheet/Graph Editor.
* Avoid pure whites in unselected/inactive text.
* Darken the scrollbar numbers.
With the new automatic handle algorithm, it is possible to do a lot
of the animation via keyframes without touching the curves. It is
however necessary to change the keyframe interpolation and handle
types in certain cases. Currently the dopesheet/action editor
allows changing the types, but does not show them in any way.
To fix, add a new menu option to display this information. For handle
type, it is represented using the shape of the key icons: diamond for
Free, clipped diamond for Aligned, square for Vector, circle for Auto
Clamp, and cirle with dot for Automatic.
Non-bezier interpolation is a property of intervals between keys,
so it is marked by drawing lines, similar to holds. In this initial
version, only the fact of non-bezier interpolation is displayed,
without distinguishing types. For summaries, the line is drawn at
half alpha if not all curves in the group are non-bezier.
In addition, it is sometimes helpful to know the general direction
of change of the curve, and which keys are extremes. This commit
also adds an option to highlight extremes, based on comparing the
keyed values with adjacent keys. Half-intensity display is used
for overshot bezier extremes, or non-uniform summaries.

Add the necessary colors and/or alpha components to the theme instead.
Also switch the background for ordinary channels to use the likely
intended theme option, instead of the window background color.
The general rule is that the channel color is drawn full strength in the
channel list on the left, and with alpha in the actual key frame area on
the right. This alpha is also reused with bone group colors.

For now we have categories collection, object, object data, modifiers &
constraints, and shading. The icons can be categorized by adding e.g.
DEF_ICON_OBJECT() in UI_icons.h.
Light themes will need to be updated to use darker colors to keep icons
visible in the outliner.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
A toggle for this is no longer required now that both header and background
colors are RGBA (disabling Show Header is the same setting the alpha to 0).
Thanks Brecht for reviewing!
Based on feedback from the 'User Feedback' devtalk forum
* More opaque panels for the viewport
* Darker state colors
* Current frame color consistency for MCE
Restore theem setting default for Graph Editor's vertex,
with default alpha set to 1.0. The alpha value here needs
to be non-zero, as the alpha values currently get used
when drawing verts.
Workaround for now until all editors tabs share the dedicated Tab theme
settings under User Interface (which the top bar is currently using).
Thanks SimonStorl-Schulke from devtalk forum for feedback.
Selected color is now .9 alpha so keyed/animated/driven statuses
show through when widget is active. Assign color for overriden state.
Also fix progress bar not visible.
The shortcut labels now use the "Item" theme color. Its contrast for hovered
items is a bit low, but not too bad.
Note that this also changes the color of the little toolbar triangle to be grey
(the same color we use for the keymap label). IMHO that looks better though.
This doesn't update any themes other than the default one.
Part of T54711.
The theme is now stored in generated C code,
which can be extracted from existing user preferences.
This theme can then be used for version patching themes
instead of duplicating values
Note that theme versioning has been removed,
since minor changes from now on won't apply well on top of 2.7x theme.
Theme colors from interface_widgets.c have been removed too.
