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
the mask region wasnt calculated correctly in some cases
after location changes. I think it might be a plasma
upstream bug/change but either way this patch fixes
it.
--for all neutral areas (such as spacers or
activate indicator spacers) the activate signal
in sent in order to activate an applet or
expand it / hide it...
--the default shortcut is Meta+A but the user can
change it to whatever wants to from plasma systemsettings.
--the settings windows are show bases on priority.
Primary screen docks have higher priority and for the
edges the priority is: Bottom,Left,Top,Right
--the shortcut Alt+S,Alt+D is not working
correctly because it is reserved by the plasma
desktop. At first we disable it in order to see
if we can substitute it with another solution
--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
--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
--this was a rare crash when changing to default
session from the alternative one through the context
menu of the Tasks plasmoid there was a crash sometimes
--improve the signaling between the configuration window
and the dockview concerning freeEdges for current screens
and docks count. Now the docks counting is different
between screens and in general
