--many plasma themes provide a different panel
background per edge, with different styles or
transparency levels. Latte now respects the
plasma theme concerning the panel backgrounds
found in a plasma theme.
--the background contrast effect should be applied
only when the dock/panel is visually solid otherwise
it may block the transparency settings
BUG: 397431
FIXED-IN: v0.8.1
--with this commit now Latte is able to identify what are
the global shortcuts used for each activation entry and
also to not show at all any badge for activation entries
that are disabled from the user
BUG: 397128
--removing the option to check blurring
based on whether a panel is solid or not
and also check !compositing. Blurring doesnt
make any sense at !compositing environments
BUG: 396955
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--trying to combine dock mode, panel mode and
parabolic effect with plasma applets current implementation
can create such issues. Removing the zoom=1
criteria to activate the Latte MouseArea. The
user can still lock plasmoids that want the
Hover Default Plasmoid behavior or use the
Latte protocol to understand when they are in a Latte
containment.
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--in multiple layouts environment the user
may prefer different settings for its global
shortcuts, in some may wants to use global
shortcuts for its applets and in another
layout may not.
--when an application launcher exists, Latte can show
a "Meta" badge for that applet instead of the global
shortcut action number. With this patch we take also
into account when the assigned application launcher is
in different dock/panel and show it accordingly
BUG: 396753
--v0.8 introduced unified global shortcuts for all
cases, that means that applets are also taken into
account for Latte activation/new instance global
shortcuts. A new parameter is introduced with
the patch at Latte global settings file called
"unifiedGlobalShortcuts", the user can set that
parameter to false before Latte startup in order
to use only global shortcuts relevant to the
Latte plasmoid.
--a visual indicator in order to show which plasma
applets have been overloaded from Latte. The overloaded
mechanism is a way in order to make these applets work
properly with Latte parabolic effect
--The Plasma layout is using the Latte plasmoid. By
following that case the neutral applets areas werent
activated. This is fixed now and also the click animation
in such cases.
--when a dock was changing location and kwin
effects where enabled then a crash was appearing
under wayland. So we block drawing effects when
a dock is inTempHiding or inForceHiding
--allow the applet developers to set at their
applet main file:
property bool disableLatteParabolicIcon: true
in order to disable any Latte functionality
concerning the parabolic icon
-- allow the applet developers to set at their
main file:
property bool isInLatte: false
in order to be informed by Latte when they are
in a Latte containment. For what ever purposes
the developers need to adjust to their plasmoid.
During dock sliding-in because the parabolic
effect isnt trigerred immediately but we wait
first the dock to go to its final normal
place we might miss the activation of the
parabolic effect. By catching that signal
we are trying to solve this.
--the following case:
[Windows Go Bellow + Top Panel + Panel Transparency<40%
+ "Improve Visibility" + "Not Forced Solid Background
for maximized windows"]
disables the colorizer because the role of the background
is done from the window titleBar.
--update issue #957 in order to take into account
semi-transparent panels. With semi-transparent panels
contrast could be a puzzle. The changes that
introduced with this patch are:
1. Enable Improve Visibility when also case [E] from
#957 is enabled.
2. When a semi-transparent panel exists in combination
with Improve Visibility option then add a threshold
in order to indicate if the Colorizer will be applied
or not. The threshold is 40% in order to indicate if
a semi-transparent panel is solid or not.
--because focus is lost from dock tooltips the
dock settings window was closing. We take into
account that case in order to not close the
dock settings window in such case
--implementation of the design decisions described at
issue #957. Panel Background and Dynamic Background
options interact with each other concerning
panel transparency and triggering of solidness or
transparency.
--by default now Latte supports the KWin Edges mechanism,
this way the following issues are fixed:
fix#935, fix#721, fix#687, fix#512, fix#514
--improve dock behavior when the user user touch
gestures
--fix #144, support KWin bright placeholders
--this behavior can be disabled if the user prefers
the old one from the Tweaks page
--in !compositing no more is shown a 1px line at
the screen edge when the dock is hidden
--support KWin Edges in Multiple Layouts state under
X11
-- the mousearea used for the parabolic effect
can block some important signals to go to
underneath applets. We make sure that such
signals are not accepted, and as such are
forwarded to underlying applets.
