--plasma durations can mess up the Latte animations
experience a lot. We now use our own set animations
durations which are independent of what the user
chose for plasma animations speed.
BUG:418883
--behaveAsPlasmaPanel can now slide in/out as real windows
but after they hide there is a chance that their geometry
should be updated. This patch makes sure that this will
happen exactly before the BEHAVEASPLASMAPANEL starts
sliding-in.
--when the user has chosen to hide the screen gap
when there is a maximized window in the screen and
at the same time the View behaves as plasma panel,
it now slides in/out nicely
--the user can now choose for vertical views to
stick their edges at the top or bottom screen edge
and ignore any top or bottom views accordingly. These
options are available in the Transparent Settings
area for vertical views and in advanced settings
mode.
--improved settings for Floating windows in Behavior
tab and add a new option to hide ALL screen gaps meaning
both length screen and thickness screen gap when there
is a maximized window in the screen
BUG:415630
--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
BUG:415347
FIXED-IN:0.9.6
--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.
BUG:414180
FIXED-IN:0.9.5
--when a vertical view is in busy state and is touching
also a horizontal view that is fully transparent in
SMART mode then the visual result is not that good.
In that case it is better to show the view background.
The horizontal view background in that case can provide
three different states:
a) if the panel style for popups is activated then the
horizontal view will follow the plasma original style
b) if NOT [a] and solid background for touching windows
is enabled then solid background will be offered
c) if NOT [a] and NOT [b] then the isBusy state
transparency will be offered
--trying to increase smartness for horizontal
and vertical views. In multiple layouts environment
a view can exist in cases that one or more of
the sided views that is touching it is NOT
transparent, it would be nice for those
cases the top or bottom view to LOSE also
its transparency in order to not look
inconsistent.
--absolute geometry is the published area that the
dock/panel occupies when it is shown. So it should
not change when the dock becomes hidden. This patch
fixes the case for the !compositing environment.
--add initialization of values for views
tracking hints when enabled becomes false
--add some debug messages to be used when
we want to test out things
--fixed struts gap for !compositing mode in order
to handle the strange kwin behavior. Kwin under
!compositing removes 1px. from the struts specified
by windows
--plenty of fixes concerning automatic coloring
under !compositing mode
--following plasma approach and use always
even for !compositing mode the widgets/panel-background
svg file. This way when Latte and Plasma panels are
combined there is uniformity between them.
BUG: 406597
--now config windows are masked properly in order to
accessible to all of their areas. By design the config
windows are trying to be below the main view, this is
why masking is needed in order to work properly and not
having areas that can not be clicked/accessed because
of the top Latte View
--meaning that edit Visual can contain more
elements than just the usual ones and as such
we can now add a "Rearrangement" option to make
things easier to switch between live/static editing
--improve and restructure all editMode in order
for Ruler and EditMode to be ready to accept more
direct available settings in settings overlay
section.
Summary:
--this way any part interested to know the
real type of Latte::View it can access the
all new type() property
Test Plan:
test view settings that indicate correctly
the panel/dock type

-rename also to shadow to innerShadow for
better naming. This shadow is used when the
shadow is drawn inside the window from qml
side, such examples are the dock case and the
editVisual case
--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
--removing the option to check blurring
based on whether a panel is solid or not
and also check !compositing. Blurring doesnt
make any sense at !compositing environments
BUG: 396955
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--when a dock was changing location and kwin
effects where enabled then a crash was appearing
under wayland. So we block drawing effects when
a dock is inTempHiding or inForceHiding
--by default now Latte supports the KWin Edges mechanism,
this way the following issues are fixed:
fix#935, fix#721, fix#687, fix#512, fix#514
--improve dock behavior when the user user touch
gestures
--fix #144, support KWin bright placeholders
--this behavior can be disabled if the user prefers
the old one from the Tweaks page
--in !compositing no more is shown a 1px line at
the screen edge when the dock is hidden
--support KWin Edges in Multiple Layouts state under
X11
