--separators are only usings the external margins
between items. In the past it was also consider
the indicators internal padding. This is not
needed and it was creating too big empty
spaces with no real reason.
--through level.requested options each indicator
instance can request specific repositioning for
each icon. Very good example for this is the
Win7 style indicator
--when qml uses software rendering checks should be
added in order to not hide the visual elements. This
is taking place now in a more concrete way and checked
also that tasks with badges or not are still shown

--draggingStarted signals/slots were used in order
to handle the active window dragging from empty areas.
The new approach ungrabs the mouse properly through
View relevant function and at the same time sends a
QEvent::Leave event to inform applets that the mouse
has left the view. This is enough in order to remove
any older draggingStarted workarounds and hacks.
--Latte should use the same workflow paradigm for
switching vds and activities with the plasma pager
approach. This commit complies with this.

--when qml software rendering is enabled the ShaderEffects
do not work. Hiding sources in that case is hiding
from the user tasks and applets with no visual feedback.
Sources in that case should hide themeselves and give
the user the minimum which is the original drawn contents.

--when a vertical view is in busy state and is touching
also a horizontal view that is fully transparent in
SMART mode then the visual result is not that good.
In that case it is better to show the view background.
The horizontal view background in that case can provide
three different states:
a) if the panel style for popups is activated then the
horizontal view will follow the plasma original style
b) if NOT [a] and solid background for touching windows
is enabled then solid background will be offered
c) if NOT [a] and NOT [b] then the isBusy state
transparency will be offered
--trying to increase smartness for horizontal
and vertical views. In multiple layouts environment
a view can exist in cases that one or more of
the sided views that is touching it is NOT
transparent, it would be nice for those
cases the top or bottom view to LOSE also
its transparency in order to not look
inconsistent.
--the new implementation supports and always darkish
case when the isBusy background is drawn. So now
we have the following possibilities:
a)panel transparency<35 means BEST contrast with
underlying desktop background
b)panel transparency>=35 AND <70 means a DARKISH
background
c)panel transparency>=70 the user chosen plasma
theme
--absolute geometry is the published area that the
dock/panel occupies when it is shown. So it should
not change when the dock becomes hidden. This patch
fixes the case for the !compositing environment.
--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
--the user can now choose to enable or NOT 3D
style for all badges through Latte Global Preferences
window. By default the Flat style is preferred
BUG: 409467
--reconsider/fixes applets axis blocking for parabolic
effect when unblock it also when applets are updating
their properties. This takes place only when
applets zoom factor === 1 (in normal mode) otherwise
the parabolic effect may broke
--The user from Tasks,Badges can choose a more prominent
color for notification badges (usually reddish). In case
the user has not enabled that option(default) then the plasma
theme highlight color is used which is also the default
option of Latte v0.8
BUG: 408955
--DragDropArea in containment should not activate
mask update (animationsNeedLength) if the dragging
is not valid for that DragDropArea. A good example
for this is when the user drags Tasks, in such case
the DragEnter signal is ignored and the DragLeave
may not reach to containment. In such case the
animationsNeedLength signal should NOT be sent
BUG: 408926
--Latte now identifies what is the maximum transparency
provided by a plasma theme and uses that information
in order to provide full solidness if needed by the
Background Opacity option (meaning 100% should be totally
solid)
--I reversed the logic meaning that the Latte panel
background painting in more important than the Plasma
original SVG painting. That way the animations between
panels painting become smoother with no glitches
BUG: 408552
--Latte can now use the new multi-screen
Last Active Window infrastructur to choose
which Active Window is preferred, only from
current screen OR from all screens
--when the Latte View is in Justify mode
and and an applet is touching the screen edge
then for that applet any margins from the
Screen edge should be removed. That way
the Fitt's Law is obeyed. What is going to
happen for the margins of these applets with
their neighbour applets will be considered
in the future.
