--when the user has enabled dragging/moving active
window from floatings screen gap then that space
can not be used to activate applets. It is rather
used to drag/move/restore last active window.
--screenEdgeMarginEnabled value is not really needed
to applets and indicators. Only the margin value
applied is of importance in order to place themselves
properly.
--use screenEdgeMargin in order to support more border
styles for custom background component that paints
the underneath panel background for smart coloring.
--applets can now use the screen edge margin value
in order to follow Fitt's Law for floating docks/panels
if they want to. Latte takes case all applets of
course but in case an applet would like also to
to use also the space between the gap of the view
and the screen edge, it can so.
--when the application launcher is not a popup then
we do not have to wait for the dock show we can execute
the activation code immediately
--when Latte activates an entry can now understand
if a popup is going to be shown in order to delay
the execution. If a popup is NOT going to show either
for a latte task or an applet then the code is executed
immediately

--Latte panels when they touch each other are informing
each other in order to provide consistent appearance. For
example the Unity mode where a top panel and a left panel
exist at the same time. In such case if the left panel is
INBUSY background state then the top panel is informed and
because inBusy state also. This way the top border of left dock
background does not look out of place. ON THE OTHER hand if
the left dock is hidden because the use has chosen auto-hide
visibility mode or any of the dodge(s) choices then the top
panel does not have to stay in isBusy state. The patch fixes
this by applying this behavior only when the left dock is shown
e.g. the mouse has entered the dock or the dodge mode is not
activated

--automatic icon sizer is using a prediction
algorithm in order to decide to grow or not the
items size. There is a chance that the prediction
calculations are executed too early and as
such grow/shrink limits it is better to not
be to near to each other. That approach should
make the AutomaticItemSizer implementation a little
more robust.
--the automatic item sizer algorithm now is present
in its own class/responsibility area. As a new
improvement/fix the new implementation provides also
a protector/tracker that when the current prediction
to grow has already be applied two steps back in
history then the growing is not applied. This way
endless loops with growings and shrinks are blocked.

--each applets layout can not identify properly
which applet is the first/last visible from its
contents. This way we can now identify properly
at all cases which applets should remove their
margins in order to follow Fitt's Law at screen
edges. For example when a windows buttons applet
is found at the screen edge and suddently it
hides itself then the next visible applet should
be considered at screen edge and such should remove
its margins in order to touch the screen edge.
--remove the layout exception for the plasma systray
and behave for this just all the rest applets
--fix indicators for applets in order to consider
properly the indicators padding and applets margins.
In other words the Latte indicators for applets should
not take up all the length provided but ONLY the
applet length + indicators padding (without at any
case the applet length margins)

--when option "Hide Background when not needed" is
used on its own activates or not the forceTransparentPanel
code path. So when that option is enabled and any
window is touching the Latte::View then the force
transparency codepath should be disabled. In such
case the user background settings are applied.

--this patch add two fixes concerning automatic
icon size when contents exceed the view maximum
length.
--A) when the function is called then it also
called one more time after 1sec to confirm that
the icon size found is valid. In the past that
approach was creating an endless loop that should
not be triggered any more
--B) the grow limit was made to be equal with
the shrink limit trying to be more predictive from
the user when the items will grow or shrink. In
the future we must take care of this if the items
grow or shrink endlessly

FIXED-IN:0.9.3
--many applets are changing layouts and during that
process the main icon becomes invisile, in that case
the latte overlaied icon should also been disabled and
let applet paint itself accordingly
FIXED-IN:0.9.3
--when an applet can not be hovered meaning to use
the parabolic effect and that applet is at the far
screen edge then margins can be disabled for this applet
in order to look exactly touching the screen edge
and at the same feel right following Fitt's Law
--separators are only usings the external margins
between items. In the past it was also consider
the indicators internal padding. This is not
needed and it was creating too big empty
spaces with no real reason.
--through level.requested options each indicator
instance can request specific repositioning for
each icon. Very good example for this is the
Win7 style indicator
--when qml uses software rendering checks should be
added in order to not hide the visual elements. This
is taking place now in a more concrete way and checked
also that tasks with badges or not are still shown
BUG:411037
FIXED-IN:0.9.2
--draggingStarted signals/slots were used in order
to handle the active window dragging from empty areas.
The new approach ungrabs the mouse properly through
View relevant function and at the same time sends a
QEvent::Leave event to inform applets that the mouse
has left the view. This is enough in order to remove
any older draggingStarted workarounds and hacks.
