This patch gets rid of the O(N^3) complexity
of calculate_vertices. Execution time of the node is
reduced from 250ms to 140ms with 500^3 vertices.
In the future edge calculations could be done manually
and reduce the execution time even further.

The patch slightly modifies two recently added icons "FILE_BLEND" and
"CURRENT_FILE" to better align them to the pixel grid, and change the
design of "FILE_BACKUP" to avoid alignment and readability issues, as
well as avoiding the outline version of the Blender logo which violates
the official logo guidelines.

There are few layers of things which lead to the situation
of more noisy material preview: the do-version of the
preview.blend did not happen (at least from the Python
side as we did not investigate the C side deep). This made
Cycles to use default integrator settings for the preview
file ever since the Cycles X was merged. Those settings are
adaptive sampling with max 4K samples, noise threshold 0.01.
Opening the file in Blender 3.0 for edit did run the versioning
code which effectively lowered the number of samples used for
rendering.
This change makes it so the preview file is configured with
the exact effective settings as seen by Cycles prior to the
file was re-saved (adaptive sampling with the parameters noted
above).
This fix does not chaneg the fact that the versioning code is
not used for preview.blend, it only solves the regression in
the quality of previews.
The fix is done and reviewed with collaboration with Dalai and Sergey.
The Blender icon must not be used to refer to anything that is not
Blender itself. Using the Blender icon on its own to refer to .blend
files or the currently open file is a no-go, which was brought up by
Ton.
This does the following changes to the icon file:
* Add new "Current File" icon
* Change the .blend file icon to contain a file icon with the Blender
logo, but not merely the Blender logo.
* Change the backup .blend file icon accordingly.
The new "Current File" icon is used in the Asset Browser, but
could/should be used in the Outliner as well. That needs more design
discussion though.
A good sphere preview material has a 1:1 UV ratio (so we see squares as
least distorted as possible), as well as good poles.
Square UV:
The original sphere expected a 2:1 panorama to be mapped to it. This
patch changes that (I scaled Y by 0.5) so that square textures look ok.
Poles:
The original sphere had a low initial resolution, so no ammount of
subdivision would fix the poles.
The sphere has a subdivision modifier with 0 resolution. Later (3.1?) I
want to try to change the resolution on-the-fly based on whether the material
has a displacement map.

The VSE grid theme setting is currently used for two things:
* Indicate time intervals (vertical lines)
* As separator between channels (horizontal lines)
This adds visual noise because for the time interval to be visible, the
grid color needs to be bright, resulting in a rectangle-grid backdrop.
Recently, the VSE got a theme setting to customize alternate-row background color.
This should be sufficient to tell the channels apart without the need for a line in between.
Additionally, this patch makes the VSE background use the theme setting as-is,
without hard-coded darkening, to ease the tweaking of themes. This aligns the style
of the VSE backdrop with the rest of Blender (Outliner rows, File Browser, Spreadsheet,
Info and animation editors).

To celebrate the beginning of a new series, it feels like the right time to
give the theme a fresh look while improving on what already works.
The aim of this refresh is to keep a familiar look but with polishing touches
here and there. Like new paint on the walls of your well known house.
The theme for Blender 2.8 was well received but presented a few flaws.
* Transparency on menus and tooltips reduce readability
* Mismatch on certain colors, especially outlines of connected widgets
* Active/open menus highlight was not prominent enough
* Header background mismatch in some editors
At the same time we can make use of new features in 3.0:
* Make panels look like panels again (like in v2.3!)
* Make use of roundness in more widgets
* Since nodes are no longer hard-coded to be transparent, tweak opacity and saturation
* Tweak colors for the new dot grid
This update does not include:
* Meshes in edit mode to match greenish object-data color. This needs tweaks in the code to improve contrast.
* A copy of the Blender 2.8x legacy theme. This could be added to the community themes (shouldn't cost much maintenance, I hope)
There will be certainly small tweaks to do here and there, I've been working using this theme
for months but there can be areas that are missing update. The overall style is presented here.
This commit bumps the file subversion.

This patch changes how nodes look visually, in an attempt to fix a number of issues:
* The header background is currently drawn using a theme color fully opaque, this limits the colors we can use because the node name/label is drawn on top.
* Hard-coded transparency makes nodes hard to read. The node backdrop already has alpha so if the user wants it they can set it. This patch uses alpha from the theme.
* Better muted status indicator, instead of simply making everything transparent and the wires inside red, draw a red outline around the node, darken the header and backdrop.
* On muted nodes, display wires behind the backdrop to not interfere with text/widgets inside the node.
Nodes:
* Darken header to improve readability of node label.
* Draw a line under the header
* Thicker outline.
* Do not hard-code transparency on nodes, use the theme's node backdrop alpha component.
* Use angle icon instead of triangle (to be consistent with the [[ https://developer.blender.org/D12814 | changes ]] to panels)
Style adjustment to sockets drawing:
* Do not hard-code the socket outline color to black, use `TH_WIRE` instead
* Do not use `TH_TEXT_HI` for selected sockets, use `TH_ACTIVE` (active node outline)
* Do not draw sockets background transparent on muted nodes.
* Thicker outline to help contrast and readability

This patch makes the background grid of the node editor a grid of dots
instead of lines. This makes the background look a bit more subtle and
reduces visual complexity. The dots are meant to provide a reference
when panning and zooming. Based on the design of @pablovazquez, and
a patch originally authored by @fabian_schempp.
The "Grid Levels" controls how many levels of dots are drawn. As the
editor zooms in, the higher levels of dots fade in, making them closer
together visually. The zoom factor at which each grid starts and ends
fading in is controllable in the code, and could be tweaked further
in the future. The new default value is 7, out of a range from 0 to 9.

Back in Blender 2.30, the GUI project brought panels into Blender among other important visual updates.
For the first time it was possible to move the wall of buttons around. Providing a clear separation
between sections (it even allowed the grouping of panels in tabs!)
During the 2.5 redesign, the separation between panels became a line on top of each panel, and panels received
theme settings for background and header colors. The default theme used the same color for both.
In 2.8 the background color of panels was different from headers in the default theme, so the separator
line was removed. While the separator line wasn't elegant (only on top, non-themeable, hard-coded emboss effect),
it provided a sort of separation between panels.
This patch solves the panels-separation by simply adding a margin space around them (not visible in default theme yet).
Even though the margin reduces the width of the working area slightly, it makes room for the upcoming always-visible scrollbars.
Other adjustments:
* Use arrow icon instead of triangle to collapse/expand
* Use rounded corners to match the rest of the UI (editor corners, nodes, etc).
{F10953929, size=full}
Margin on panels makes use of the `style->panelouter` property that hasn't been
used in a while. Also slight tweaks to `boxspace` and `templatespace` style properties so they
are multiples of 2 and operations on them round better.
There is technically no need to update the themes for them to work, so no theme changes are included in this patch.
