--in order to overlay properly the panel background
a roundness option was needed that takes into account
which borders should be drawn. In an upcoming commit
the user will be able to adjut the current plasma
theme roundness. The Colorizer is using now the
CustomBackground in order to draw the background
when the user wants to draw the contents based on
the current active window color scheme.
--support painting based on the active window scheme.
Added a schemecolors class for this and updated
abstractwindowinterface to provide tracking for windows
color schemes.
when the plasma theme was not supporting shadows then
Latte was double drawing the panel background when
the user has chosen that wanted shadows
BUG: 397980
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--many plasma themes provide a different panel
background per edge, with different styles or
transparency levels. Latte now respects the
plasma theme concerning the panel backgrounds
found in a plasma theme.
--the background contrast effect should be applied
only when the dock/panel is visually solid otherwise
it may block the transparency settings
BUG: 397431
FIXED-IN: v0.8.1
--implementation of the design decisions described at
issue #957. Panel Background and Dynamic Background
options interact with each other concerning
panel transparency and triggering of solidness or
transparency.
--when the user has disabled the panel background
but has enabled a solid background for maximized windows
then in such case the panel background must be enabled
for when it is needed
--when we are able to force solidness even though
the plasma theme may never provides that, because
the svg file has some tranparencies in it. Then
for such cases we support it. Such is case is when
the panel is behaveAsPlasmaPanel and maxLength=100%
--following issue from #730 more qml code
was found that wasnt releasing connect signals
properly. That could create crashes because
already deleted qml objects could receive such
signals. That was observed after qt>=5.9.2
--this works similar with transparency with no-maximized
windows feature but on reverse. e.g. transparency for
non-maximized windows and solidness for maximized ones
--opacity to 1 when applet is active
--when the user uses a semi transparent panel for
un-maximized active windows and the user activates
a pop up for an applet a better visual effect is the
panel to not have any transparency
--improve translation strings and options order
-- the user can choose this behavior from the Tweaks page,
the panel background in shown only when there is maximized
window and it is fully transparent otherwise
