--always use blur timer in order to update blurred
area, this way subcalculations between timer triggering
are not taken into account. This way user experience
with blur and parabolic effect are improved.
--the new approach is not using timers but actual
events from View in order to identify when the
view is fully shown and when their popup is actual
visible. This way popup showing and view slide-in
is always synchronized properly
BUG:425078
--ViewPart:VisibilityManager is sending events
to show or hide but it can not validate the view
visual state meaning is hidden, sliding in/out, blocked
etc. That role is taken from Containment::VisibilityManager
that accepts that signals and in case the state are
requesting is already provided then in such case
these signals are ignored.
--This way myView flags for inSlidingIn/Out/PartiallyShown/FullyShown
etc are providing valid values in some previous
problematic scenarios
--This fix solves the issue that parabolic effect with Tasks Previews
it was not too responsive but it had many glitches
--improve a lot how applets are positioned in
different alignments and more specific take into
consideration the background roundness and the
items specified length margin in order to provide
always the most consistent look for the user
--at the same time improve a lot background length
calculations and various alignments published
layout geometry in order to correspond much
better to real visible estate
--this way a layout designer can force to its users
the desired color palette for each dock and panel.
BeCareful: designers should be very careful with this
because they take responsibility to disable latte auto-coloring
at per-applet basis in order for chromatic applets to NOT
be autocolored from latte because they already provide enough
contrast.
BUG:435714
--fix case of icons-only plasma taskmanager in order to
provide a way to center it. The user can add icon-only
taskmanager in center of Justify mode and add also
two latte expanding spacers around it in order center it.
BUG:434198
--do not change offset faulty for !compositing mode
for all cases. In the past all Views in !compositing
mode they were working as behaveAsPlasmaPanels, this
is no more the case.
BUG:433887
--provide addAppletItem function
--provide reorderSplitters in Start and End
layouts when an applet is added in them and
the splitters are moving in faulty position
