winit: Honor system cursor blink rate in the winit backend #11617
Conversation
The module handles color scheme, accent color, and will soon handle cursor blink settings. The new name better reflects its scope. Also rename the cfg alias from use_winit_theme to xdg_desktop_settings (with inverted polarity) for consistency with the module name.

Works on Windows 11: tested running the Gallery example multiple times while changing the setting in the accessibility settings page. Setting the value to 0% correctly disable the blinking completely. |
Query the platform's cursor blink settings instead of using a hardcoded 1000ms cycle. - Windows: read GetCaretBlinkTime() from Win32 - macOS: read NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriod from NSUserDefaults - Linux: query org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-blink and cursor-blink-time via the XDG desktop settings portal, using the existing async D-Bus watcher On Linux the value is stored on SharedBackendData and read asynchronously alongside color scheme and accent color. It updates live when the user changes the setting. Fixes: #11597
