--implement things simpler by using the same
CoreTypes header file both for LatteCore.Types
import statement and App c++ implementation.
Let's leave in the future to decide if
a LibLatte is really necessary.
--when real panel views are slided out either for auto
hiding, dodge case or dynamically removing their screen
margin the desktop available space should not be
changed; it should stay the same.
--Latte can now support multiple Views in the same screen
edge. Views as separated in THREE Layers of priorities.
1. Views from Shared Layouts have highest priority and they
are first to occupy a screen edge
2. Views that are set OnPrimary screen occupy a screen edge only
if there is NO other View from a Shared Layout applied already
3. Views that are Explicit to specific screens occupy a screen
edge only if there is NO PRIMARY view already loaded
--Plasma 5.18 introduced a new dbus interface in order
for external apps to be able to publish to Plasma how
much they occupy from screen space. This is a much
requested feature from users, Latte is now publishing
both its availableScreenRect and availableScreenRegions
and this is also Multiple Layouts aware at runtime.
BUG:391073
--preparing the infrastructure calculations in order
to publish to Plasma 5.18 and greater the
availableScreenRectagle and availableScreenRegion
that Latte leaves free in current running
screens.
--use a different shadows manager for dialogs such as
dock settings window through the Latte::Corona class.
The new shadow manager is responsible to draw
"dialogs/background" shadows for windows instead of
the PanelShadows original class which is responsible
to draw "widgets/background" shadows
--when dock settings window is shown it is good to
NOT overlap with plasma panels. Under X11 this is
possible because the real availableScreenGeometry
is exposed through QScreen.
--switchToLayout dbus interface is used in order to
switch at specific layout that it is already imported.
With this commit the same dbus interface can be used
in order to import and load afterwards any latte layout
file by sending its absolute filepath
--Split the Layouts::Manager to Synchronizer and
Manager classes. The Synchronizer is responsible
to keep all Active layouts in sync with user
preferences
--this is side-way path for mouse events and
more specific the mouse pressed, released
events to be sent from parent window to its
qml containment part. This way it is possible
to keep the original plasma applet behavior
such as original plasma tooltips and provide
Latte specific functionality such as animated
clicks from indicators.
NOTE: An investigation - testing took place in
order to check if this approach could be also used
for mouseMove events to be used for applets parabolic
effect. The result was that this was not possible because
there were too many signals and too much calculations
too identify for which applet the signal belonged to.
The parabolic effect was not fluid in that case and
could not catch up.
--huge refactor in order to split the logic of the
Layout file. One of small steps in order to end at
the following logic:
AbstractLayout->GeneralLayout->InterfacedLayout
InterfacedLayout->NormalLayout
InterfacedLayout->OnTopLayout
PresentedLayout, that will contain references for
one ActiveLayout and one OnTopLayout and will
act as a class to provide useful information to
layoutManager and all other classes that want
to work with Views.
GeneralLayout will gain a storage object
for all STORAGE properties that require
a CORONA to work
--the menu is sending the containment id to
Latte::Corona and afterwards calls for the menu
data. These data now are including also the view
type, memory usage, active layout name and of
course the full layouts list shown to menu.
This is improvement from D18918.
--move out from globalshortcuts functions that were
related to latte views functions such as sorting,
highest priority etc. All these were moved to their
appropriate places in layout manager or layout classes
Summary: Fix minor typos in messages and comments
Test Plan: No major changes to prevent compilation and usage

-- Latte screen ids are different from plasma
screen ids. This class helps in order to help
translating the different screen ids between
Latte and Plasma.
