--the user is able to change into another
session/profile called "On The Road" for
which can set up its docks and applets
differently according to its needs. For
example hide its name, status, place
living etc.
--when dock is changing screens and dock is using
an automatic calculated icon size based on contents
the automatic icon size must be recalculated for the
new proportion icon size
--in order for a dock to be above KeepAbove
windows must contain flag BypassWindowManagerHint.
Unfortunately this flag breaks the experience with
AlwaysVisible state especially the struts and
snapping behavior. This patch recreates a
dockView when a mode is changed and an
update for the flags is needed.
--at the same time move the localGeometry to
dockView in order to trigger properly the
updateAbsGeometry when it is needed, on
window's geometry changes not only when there
is local geometry change
--when a dock is created through corona, the
addDock function reads the mode which is going
to be used and specifys this way the flags that
have to be set during docks creation
--support also an edge case where a top and left dock
overlap each other but there is also a free space in them.
This case hasnt been taken into account into the previous
implementation
--this is especial useful for plasma themes with big
transparency. Latte can not support blur and background
contrast kwin effects for panel backgrounds that are drawn
inside its qml side.
--this commit reduces into half the calculations
needed from the vertical docks in order to position
themselves based on horizontal docks. More specific
it makes the QRegion calculations only once for
each dock instead of two times
--this commit uses free region from corona instead
of free rectangle in order to calculate size and
positioning for the docks. This way is possible to
be positioned more intelligently.
--refer to last 6-7 commits that contain this new
multi-screen behavior
--the new multi-screen behavior becomes more intelligent.
Latte trys to never let you without a dock containing
tasks plasmoid. It trys to do that intelligently not
depending on how many docks you have registered and if
they are set to explicit or primary ones
--primary docks are removed when their edge is
occupied in the new primary screen and their
current screen is destroyed. Also they are added
when the screen edge is available
--the last dock containing tasks can not be removed
automatic by Latte based on screens heuristics
--on startup Latte checks if a dock containing tasks
will be loaded based on screens associated. If it
doesnt it loads the first dock containing tasks and
puts it on primary screen and setting also its flag
to onPrimary
--on the configuration window when a dock changes from
explicit to primary screen by latte automation the
record of the previous screen is shown correctly
--unfortunately this contains also white spaces
fixes. Sorry for this but by implementing multi-screen
the laptop wasnt correctly configured for
astyle and whitespaces
--this commit is just a small clean up that
acts as a reference for all the previous
10-12 commits that provide the new anticipated
multi-screen support. With multi-screen support
the user can set for its docks either to be always
on the primary screen or an explicit one... The
docks are loaded and removed automatically on
screen changes
--this cleans the plasma behavior for the
primary screen that was creating a mess.
The dock "on primary" state can now be implemented
through Latte without breaking things
--there are cases that screens instead of returning
correct screen names the return names like
"0:0". These are totally ignored in order to not
break the screen ids database
--when the screengeometry was called the dockview screen
hadnt changed to primaryscreen, that had as a
consequence the dock to go to the primary screen
but because that was out of the boundaries of
its own screen to return again to first place
--in a multi-screen environment that
primary screen is not set to 0 it was
created an endless showing loop at
startup (catch-up race) between
screen:0 and primaryScreen
--strange thing is that the code producing
this was very weird. From the user's backtrace
syntax: if(!screen())
and more specific at updateEnabledBorders() of
dockview was creating the crash.
replacing it with syntax:
if (!this->screen())
fixes the issue
--this fix publish the correct panel borders
that should be drawn according to alignment
and location. Improves also PanelBox heurestics
and should be also any shadows issues
--the user is able to set some additional
debug flags in --debug state by just executing
the application.
supported flags:
--with-window: provides a separate window
to show metrics from each separate dock
--graphics: visual indicator for the various
elements
--mask: additional debug messages concerning
mask calculations
--this can be tested by opening the configuration window
through the tasks. Even though a task is zoomed when
triggering the configuration window the animations
do not break afterwards
--the containment becomes independent from dockView.
The appletItems which are needed in order to show
the context menu correctly are discovered from dockView
without any need of functionality from containment
--first is inside the freeEdges function call
on destruction
--the second is also in the app's destruction
because of the call to a destructed containment
through m_containment. This variable was deleted
--add m_waitingDockViews which are waiting
for removal confirmation. Using destroyedChanged
signal from containments in order to support
the behavior
--improve freeEdges code based on
the docksCount implementation
-- one private slot was missing, right clicking
was creating a crash because of this sometimes
-- removing a second or third created dock was
causing a crash because visibilitymanager wasnt
removed in sync and correctly from the dockview
