--some improvements of 0.10.5 broke the windows tracking
initialization. This is a fix in order for windows tracking
to be enabled/disabled properly per dock/panel during
startup phase.
--visibility: simplify and improve code
for restoring and saving values
--enable visibility mode early on the startup
sequence
--enable windows tracking after startup phase
has ended
--windows tracking respect also view geometry
changes and not only window changes from the
desktop environment
Consider -1 as screen edge margin default value
and not zero. This way when duplicating a default
dock AllBorders are not enabled in the new dock.
BUG:446903
FIXED-IN:0.10.5
--when multiple screens placement have edges that overlap
with each other, at that edges struts must be disabled
to provide much better windows behavior. For example when
dragging a window between such screens and there is
an AlwaysVisible panel or dock between them.
BUG:445595
FIXED-IN:0.10.5
--when activating activities under multiple layouts
the currentActivityChanged() signal is sent from
KActivities before the runningActivitiesChanged() and
as such we can end in considering borderless maximized
window flag before all appropriate layouts have been enabled.
The patch adds a timer and delays borderlessMaximized consideration
when currentActivityChanged signal is received.
--after recreating a view, launchers group is now
assigned again correctly. As it appears the problem
was that Host.MyView ability was sending an isReady
signal that was not accurate enough.
--This new approach paints all docks and panels during
starup offscreen. This way especially under x11 not a lot of
visual glitches are appearing all over the place.
After startup time has ended docks and panels are
moved at their original and valid placement and slide in
animations are triggered.
--send more availableRect/Region changed signals
for more cases and as such all views update
their positioning properly.
--for example when a horizontal view updates its
offset or max length independent of its visibility mode
the neighbour vertical views need to update
and validate their position.
--introduce enable/disableAutostart from command line
--accept import-layout from command line when latte is already running
--introduce --suggested-layout-name to be used with
import-layout in order to provide a preferred layout name
e.g. latte-dock --import-layout /blah/blah/mywhat.layout.latte
--suggested-layout-name MyAwesomeLayout
--dbus:introduce "setAutostart" function
--dbus:introduce "importLayoutFile" function
BUG:446249
FIXED-IN:0.10.5
--as it appears plasma applets were not the main faulter
to blame for startup freezes. The bug was that Latte
was trying to communicate with Plasma DBus interface
to inform it about docks/panels geometries. For some
reason during startup other applets could also were
trying the same and for that reason Qt provides a 25sec
forced delay in case there are too many such calls.
The new approach does not block the startup code at all
and it should work at all cases.
BUG:444739
FIXED-IN:0.10.4
--during startup borderless maximized windows should not be
enabled or not as long as kwin has already been configured
in the proper way. This way we make Latte startup lighter
because KWin is not reconfiguring when not needed.
--as it appears many users are using Plasma GlobalScaling
in conjuction with PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING. This commit
provides plenty of fixes for that scenario in order to
make things workable.
--adjust X11::InputMask based on devicePixelRatio()
--adjust X11::GtkFrameExtents based on devicePixelRatio()
--adjust View::absoluteGeometry() based on devicePixelRatio()
--adjust WM::Tracker based on devicePixelRatio()
--adjust WM::AbstractInterface based on devicePixelRatio()
BUG:444222
FIXED-IN:0.10.3
--fix how CanBeAboveFullscreen windows option can be
enabled/disabled properly and work correctly
--fix how Blur is handled for docks and panels that
can be AboveFullScreenWindows under X11. Blur is now
working correctly for them but of course GtkFrameExtents
do not work at all because they are intended to work
based on KWin implementation.
BUG:443536
--when an applet is not identified as expandable
but on the other hand has activated the flag
activationTogglesExpanded then for those
applets the mouse wheel option should also
trigger an activation event
--Menu11 and SimpleMenu applets are using a custom
plasmoid approach in order to be able to position their
popups differently on the screen. This patch considers
this in a more generic way and does not use the default
codepath to show popups from these applets. More
importantly the Needs/RequiresAttention status is used
in order to determine the panel/dock visibility for
these applets.
BUG:441053
--showing settings dialog too early before layout(s)
are loaded can possible create crashes. Settings dialog
is considering that everything is in place and ready
to be used.
BUG:440731
--new implementation keeps a more consistent history.
Each LastActiveWindow(LAW) now keeps track of all windows
that are related to its view even when these windows are not
currently shown. This way inactive windows history is
consistent and can be used from applets/visibility modes
more appropriately. VDs/Activities that are not
the current one(s) do not delete records from history
any more. Their respected windows are recorded and
flagged as NOT SHOWN, waiting this way to be valid
again after Activities/VDs changes.
--Views WindowsTracker in using screen geometry only to
identify which windows are in the same view screen has nothing
to do with availablescreengeometry. This is why it is
dropped and replaced by View::screenGeometry() value
--Corona::availableScreenRe.. functions now ignore
visibility modes from views that are almost always hidden
such as SideBars and AutoHide panels/docks
--plasma systemsettings colors dialog recreates
the color scheme file and is not updating it.
By adding a signal for file creation we can now
update color schemes properly when the user updates
colors based on plasma systemsettings dialog
