--improve calculations for Effects area during startup
and at the same time when the dock is totally hidden
so it should not paint any effects area at all.
BUG:416928
FIXED-IN:0.9.9
--at the same time create a base SubWindow class for
all window helpers used by Views. Now ScreenEdgeGhostWindow
and FloatingGapWindow use the same window implementation
--create FloatingGapWindow the first time needed
from VisibilityManager if it is not already created.
--remove FloatingGapWindow when View::screenEdgeMarginEnabled
is disabled
--this indicator is used only internally from Latte
in order to draw default plasma applets tab style
indicators when the user has chosen to not draw
latte specific indicators. A good example of its
usage is when the plasma theme contains tabbar
indicator which is used in applets and the Latte
overlayed icon applets need to use the same visual
with the regular plasma applets.
--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
--use a different shadows manager for dialogs such as
dock settings window through the Latte::Corona class.
The new shadow manager is responsible to draw
"dialogs/background" shadows for windows instead of
the PanelShadows original class which is responsible
to draw "widgets/background" shadows
--provide a new way to identify which application
launcher has the highest priority in order to be
triggered. When an application launcher applet
has a global shortcut assigned to it then that
application launcher applet has the highest
priority in order to be triggered through
"Super" global key.
--fix showing advanced settings window in order to update
the window geometry ONLY WHEN there are availableScreenGeometry
changes from Latte::View(s).
--As a side effect changing docks/panels location under wayland
when they have enabled their background blur has reduced crashes
during location changes.
--for floating views the hide timer can do
the trick about when to make the checks
that the view must become hidden. In floating
views should support different default and
current value because it should be greater
that the normal use cases.
--improve the new worksarounds in order to always
apply the activities that a view and its windows are
present when the workarounds were triggered from
kwin faulty behavior. The kwin faulty behavior is
that when any activity is paused then all Latte::Views
become hidden and lose their activities references.
The workarounds are timers that when they trace
a faulty visible state !visible are restoring the
normal behavior to views.
--trying an alternative approach concerning real floating
Views and screen edge triggering. In such case the user
has triggered to show a REAL FLOATING VIEW, it is considered
normal from user point of view for the view to remain shown
until there is windows changed state or the mouse has
escaped the View main window area
-- when the user hovers the screen edge there is a chance that
screenedgeghostwindow has become underneath the view. In such
case when the real floating window slides in the screenghostwindow
becomes unhovered faulty and it is destroyed afterwards. It is
much better if the screenedgeghostwindow in such case remains shown
until the mouse is not contained neither in the view or the screen
ghost window
-- expose screen edge ghost window thickness
--when the floating view is a real panel window and
slides out-in with real animation if the user keeps
its mouse on the screen edge the view can remain
shown without sliding out
--when dock settings window is shown it is good to
NOT overlap with plasma panels. Under X11 this is
possible because the real availableScreenGeometry
is exposed through QScreen.
--indicators are now tracked only based on their
installation path, that means that are updated
more precise when changes are applied and
at the same time views are recreated only when
the show the specific indicator that was changed
--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
--following the new design applied first at
View:availableScreenRegionChangedFrom instead of different
View parts to trigger directly m_corona relevant signal,
all View parts are triggering the View relevant signal
and as such the can be disabled all together
easily.
--set a minimumLength in order to avoid the indicator
to become TOO SMALL and not noticable. The minimum
length has been set to be 25% of the screen edge length
that the view as attached.
--when as Always Visible view was unloaded from
a CentralLayout because its Activity was closing
it was creating a crash. This patch fixes the
situation by releasing sensitive view signals
earlier.
