--the new implementation relies on items in order to
forward scale signals properly to their neighbours. So
parabolic effect does not have to know separators and
hidden items any more. As it appears it is lighter
also and more responsive. This is a very important
milestone for the parabolic effect.
--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
--plasma durations can mess up the Latte animations
experience a lot. We now use our own set animations
durations which are independent of what the user
chose for plasma animations speed.
BUG:418883
--improved settings for Floating windows in Behavior
tab and add a new option to hide ALL screen gaps meaning
both length screen and thickness screen gap when there
is a maximized window in the screen
BUG:415630
--when the user has enabled dragging/moving active
window from floatings screen gap then that space
can not be used to activate applets. It is rather
used to drag/move/restore last active window.
--applets can now use the screen edge margin value
in order to follow Fitt's Law for floating docks/panels
if they want to. Latte takes case all applets of
course but in case an applet would like also to
to use also the space between the gap of the view
and the screen edge, it can so.
--when the application launcher is not a popup then
we do not have to wait for the dock show we can execute
the activation code immediately
--when Latte activates an entry can now understand
if a popup is going to be shown in order to delay
the execution. If a popup is NOT going to show either
for a latte task or an applet then the code is executed
immediately
BUG:415417
FIXED-IN:0.9.6
--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.
--remove the layout exception for the plasma systray
and behave for this just all the rest applets
--fix indicators for applets in order to consider
properly the indicators padding and applets margins.
In other words the Latte indicators for applets should
not take up all the length provided but ONLY the
applet length + indicators padding (without at any
case the applet length margins)
BUG:414104
FIXED-IN:0.9.5
--through level.requested options each indicator
instance can request specific repositioning for
each icon. Very good example for this is the
Win7 style indicator
--this was noticed when the user was removing an applet
through the context menu and at the same time this
applet was zoomed. With this patch the parabolic effect
behavior returns to normal
