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
--move Active Applet Indicator to Appearance page
and make its layout more consistent with the rest
design
--move Glow options above the Applet Shadows that
may be used more rarely
--this works similar with transparency with no-maximized
windows feature but on reverse. e.g. transparency for
non-maximized windows and solidness for maximized ones
--opacity to 1 when applet is active
--when the user uses a semi transparent panel for
un-maximized active windows and the user activates
a pop up for an applet a better visual effect is the
panel to not have any transparency
--improve translation strings and options order
--add functionality for layoutManager
--add widgets action and alternative layout action to
layoutManager
--remove more functionality that belongs to globalSettings
--all the functionality concerning the internal separator
is moved completely into the plasmoid. Now the add/remove
of the internal separator can be found through the Tasks
contextmenu as long as we are in editMode (that is showing
the configuration window)
--expose the functionality through the configuration
window. The user can choose no latte type internal
active applets indicators, only show to latte internal
applets and show at all applets
-- the user can choose this behavior from the Tweaks page,
the panel background in shown only when there is maximized
window and it is fully transparent otherwise
