--dont add length edge margins through offset
for start/endlayouts, much cleaner and visual
pleasing to the eye. the user can always add
spacers if prefers to add padding.
--in configure applets mode when the layouts overlap
with main centered layout then visual feedback is provided to
the user in order to help him understand in which
layout each applet belongs
--really handy and beautiful in order to confirm the
calculations that are valid. Already a bug was found
for ParabolicEffect. There is 1px difference between
hovering Tasks and Applets
--I have managed to solve most of the issues that were
preventing a live demonstration of applets layout
during InConfigureApplets mode... Things are more
intuitive now are updated correctly between different
layout areas... enjoy...
--container fill calculations are now tracked much
better when they are applied.
--as an improvement fill calculations are now taking place
at all edit mode states. So inConfigureApplets mode
the fill(s) applets do not throw out of screen
applets that are the layout edges
--a new implementation is needed which is going
to be simpler and lighter. Removing the current
implementation, parabolic effect works just fine
without issues and feels more responsive.
--improve types and references and add types splitted
at better places. So now we have
- LatteCore.Types that are global for all components
- LatteTasks.Types that are private to tasks plasmoid
- LatteContainment.Types that are private to latte
containment
--use a more logical organization for types. LibLatte2
is split to become LatteCore library and Latte types
are now moved to application level. The Latte Types will
be split even more... Tasks-Only related types will
become Latte.Tasks types
BUG:420210
--add a mouse wheel delayer like in other Latte
MouseArea(s) in order to limit the actions
executed through mouse wheel in one second.
The user can now execute five actions at maximum
in one second.
--mouse wheel can now be used from panel empty areas
in order to minimize windows or cycle between them.
The action is called ScrollToggleMinimed. When that
option is used the user can also use Ctrl+ScrollUp
in order to maximize a window or Ctrl+ScrollDown
to restore it
--enabledForApplets and lengthPadding for indicators
has now moved to indicators responsibility to handle
--as a consequence usesPlasmaStyle has been removed
from indicators API. The corner cases that indicators
conflict with plasma theme applets should be handled
differently and in a different way
--block default-autopositioning for Layouts when the user
is changing location for the View. This way we are
trying to avoid issues concerning animations and glitches
during that animation.
--the automatic item sizer algorithm now is present
in its own class/responsibility area. As a new
improvement/fix the new implementation provides also
a protector/tracker that when the current prediction
to grow has already be applied two steps back in
history then the growing is not applied. This way
endless loops with growings and shrinks are blocked.
BUG:414180
FIXED-IN:0.9.5
--each applets layout can not identify properly
which applet is the first/last visible from its
contents. This way we can now identify properly
at all cases which applets should remove their
margins in order to follow Fitt's Law at screen
edges. For example when a windows buttons applet
is found at the screen edge and suddently it
hides itself then the next visible applet should
be considered at screen edge and such should remove
its margins in order to touch the screen edge.
