--improve the function to calculate the availableScreenRect
of a specific screen. Now the function accepts two arguments
specifing which visibility modes and locations(edges) are
going to be taken into account to calculate the
availableScreenRect.
the dynamic background feature is enhanced and
becomes smarter. It understands snapped windows, windows
that touch the panel edge etc. The criteria in
order for the background to become solid are:
- any active window that is touching the panel
edge (that includes krunner)
- any inactive window that is snapped and touches
the panel edge (concerning its geometry: quarter-snapped or half-snapped)
- maximized windows
- an inactive window but keepAbove is touching
the panel edge (this catches also the yakuake case)
- panel popups
--load the default layout when cant find the previous
layout for some reason. This means that something went
really wrong actually and the previous stored layout
doesnt exist anymore, at least with the same name
ised.
--the addDock code now checks if at the primary screen
in the specific edge there is already assigned an explicit
dock. In that case it doesnt add that primary dock
--during startup Latte checks if a tasks plasmoid
is going to be present (because of multi-screen settings).
Now these checks are also considering the case of
plasma taskmanagers
-- copy dock method wasnt using correctly the signals
and the methods from containments during first loading
the new copied containments. That could create crashes
if the user was trying to remove a copied dock directly
after used the copy method
--Latte when loading a layout tries to identify if based
on the docks settings there will be at least one dock
containing a tasks plasmoid. This code was extended in order
to identify also the plasma taskmanagers. One more improvement
is that this code now is executed also when dynamically
changing layouts
--during changing layouts there were cases that Latte
would crash because between deleting containment and
triggering the event to delete the dockview, there was
a race condition. The dockview wasnt deleted and as
a consequence the libtaskmanager or kwindowsystem were
forwarding events to them
--add functionality for layoutManager
--add widgets action and alternative layout action to
layoutManager
--remove more functionality that belongs to globalSettings
--the session functionality is not removed only from
globalsettings class which is just waiting to be removed
tottaly when its functionality moves to the new classes
--the new layout is loaded without closing
Latte and with properly loading globalSettings
and screen from the layout file. The layout
new files are updated when Latte is closing
--users reported that when activating an external screen
as primary and at the same time disabling the original
screen e.g. the laptop one, latte wasnt showing docks at
all. This could also occur on startup. This commit
fixes this and improves more the multi-screen code in
various corner cases
--the new implementation possibly fixes two crashes
that could occur occasionaly. First it is ensured
that the new dock in created after the old one has been
removed. We also use directly the containment instead
of using a reference for it which could create a crash
in some cases. One more fix, setting dock visible to false
had no reason as long as it is going to be deleted either
way.
