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
--in the initial design there was only a line for the
active task and the user could choose if wants to show
a second dot to indicate that this is a group of windows.
This behavior was updated in order to take into account
if the user has chosen to show only dots even for the
active task.
--the panel opacity shouldnt be set in some
cases when the maximized states are used or
when the solid panel is enabled and no
maximized filters are used
--following issue from #730 more qml code
was found that wasnt releasing connect signals
properly. That could create crashes because
already deleted qml objects could receive such
signals. That was observed after qt>=5.9.2
--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
