--support properly applet separators. This is the
first part, in the future the margins for them
should be updated correctly and the edge cases,
for example when the applet separator is next to
tasks plasmoid
--the parabolicManager is informed about the applet
ids for hidden applets and separators. This way the
manager can process the signals for parabolic effect
much better and correctly
--this is finally used properly through the
ParabolicManagers new architecture. Any old
problems concerning applets that didnt clearing
their zoom should be fixed totally now!!
--all messages concerning parabolic effect are calculated
and send through the ParabolicManager. This will help
a lot in maintainance and in many cases in the future
such as, separators, hidden applets and clearing zoom
properly
-use the old code and add it in AppletIdentifier in order
to discover applets that provide IconItems and substitute
their panel behavior with Latte experience
--the internal separator codebase has been simplified
a lot and uses a new approach that provides a smoother
parabolic effect. This is part1 concerning improve separators,
in part2 applets separator will to try to be improved
--expose the functionality through the configuration
window. The user can choose no latte type internal
active applets indicators, only show to latte internal
applets and show at all applets
--improve applets shadows, now the shadows used
are using the backgroundColor when a transparent
panel is forced
--identify better when shadows should be drawn
-- 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
--there are plasma widgets that break the Latte
experience concerning the parabolic effect. We fix
this by providing above them our own Latte solution
and by hiding the applets appearance. At the same
time we make sure that a folder widget is not increasing
its size above 96px. for which its appearance goes to
FullRepresentation
--applets such as folder view and icon where
breaking the animation for icon size < 64px.
This commit uses the heuristic algorithm from
AppletItem in order to discover such plasmoids
and afterwards it fakes a Latte.IconItem over
the PlasmaCore.IconItem
--disable all Math.round(...) from parabolic
effect calculations because this was enough in order
to miss just one pixel that was able to create
a small trebbling
--use a small duration of 20ms for the
directRenderAnimationTime in order to add a bit
more smoothness in the parabolic animation
when directRender is activated
--drop the checkListHovered that was using an
heuristic algorithm to discover if the mouse is
still inside the window. In its place use
the dock.visibility.containsMouse
--use one single globalDirectRender flag from
containment in order for all dock elements to
investigate if they should use directRendering-
painting or play animations instead
--adding the internal separator made the things a little
more complicated. This commit improves the clearing
calculations in order to not conflict the messages
with each other and trying to restore all applets
and tasks that are not considered for the parabolic
effect.
--the applets now take into account the tasks
internal separator in order to provide beautiful
smooth parabolic animation when the internal separator
is at some of the Tasks edges
--durationTime that was used for the animations
was an integer. This was created extremely fast
animations for x1 and extremely slow animations
for x3. This fix changes that by setting the
durationTime in the qml side to real type. And
by that we are setting the following pragramatic
speeds which create a very good experience.
x1 = 1.65
x2 = 2
x3 = 2.35
the above can be updated a bit based on the user
feedback and experience
--this way the right click we always take into account
the visual appearance space that latte provides for it
and not the applets internal geometry. So now spacers
also are considered as applet area
-this patch provides the offset variable for
our qml side... The offset feature is not complete
the following are missing:
-expose offset at the dockview
-use offset in !compositing state
-update borders by taking into account the offset also
-update the automatic-positioning to take into account
the offset also
--based on a strande behavior when changing form
factors and not appearing correctly I found the
reason why this is happening... this fixes the
audoban separator wrong latte behavior and for
the widget also concerning of course when the
dock changes form factor
--this fix inlude also a fix of a binding loop
for the heading of launchers inside the AppletItem
