--now config windows are masked properly in order to
accessible to all of their areas. By design the config
windows are trying to be below the main view, this is
why masking is needed in order to work properly and not
having areas that can not be clicked/accessed because
of the top Latte View
--meaning that edit Visual can contain more
elements than just the usual ones and as such
we can now add a "Rearrangement" option to make
things easier to switch between live/static editing
--improve and restructure all editMode in order
for Ruler and EditMode to be ready to accept more
direct available settings in settings overlay
section.
--first commit to restructure editMode in order to
support livemode under editing. Live mode means
that all options changes during editMode will be
available to be tested directly
--applets can now use the LatteBridge in order
to send/receive messages between them. A good
example of this could be the window title and
the window appmenu applets in order the hide
and show themselves based on mouse hovering.
--the user can now have back the plasma theme style
in more cases such as when Theme:Smart, WindowColors:None,
and has enabled from DynBackground for solid panel
background when windows are touching
Summary:
--this way any part interested to know the
real type of Latte::View it can access the
all new type() property
Test Plan:
test view settings that indicate correctly
the panel/dock type

--use plasma way to layout the applets. With this
fix all the applets layout is improved vastly
especially concerning more the plasma indicators
trigerred by applets.
--the user can disable "global shortcuts based
on position" by disabling the global shortcuts
for the first two latte items
--improve texts readability
BUG: 403880
--do not delay updating the tasks indexes and counts in
Latte plasmoid in order to avoid inconsistent values
during startup. Now entries activation works immediately
after startup
--activeIndicatorEnabled, applets can use it in order
to enable/disable the Latte Active Indicator for them
--parabolicEffectEnabled, applets can use it in order
to disable Parabolic Effect (zoom) for them
--when there was only one applet in the Center under
Justify mode then during startup its positioning broke
as it was placed faulty at the far right
BUG: 403469
--When the user has chosen a solid background when
there are windows touching the Latte panel then in
such case windows that are touching the panel not
just at the edge but at the at any point of the latte
panel are also considered as touching windows
--The "snapped" term that was used before in the
visibilitymanager was changed to "touching"
--when the user has enabled the monochrome colorizing
in that case in applet options there is now a new option
in order for the user to choose if wants or not that
applet to be colorized. Such an example are colorful
applets that lose their proper appearance through
monochrome option.
--the new improvements are trying to make Latte panels
and Plasma panels to look and behave almost the same.
This way implementing applets for any of them wont be
needing adjustments or workarounds to work properly
for both.

--the luminas functions didnt work well
for all cases. Latte is now using brightness
functions as described at:
https://www.w3.org/TR/AERT/#color-contrast
this patch fixes all cases mentioned in the bug
that Latte contrast identification did not work well
BUG: 402115
--when the colorizer informs the applets to paint
themselves based on the current plasma theme some
of them (e.g. Window Buttons) may still need access
to that color palette through the schemeFile variable.
To support also this case Latte provides the default
theme scheme file at all cases.
--enable shadows by default on startup otherwise
the FrameSvgItem sets is imagepath to "" and that
can create a crash during loading/unloading a
layout
-rename also to shadow to innerShadow for
better naming. This shadow is used when the
shadow is drawn inside the window from qml
side, such examples are the dock case and the
editVisual case
--improve how the applet size is calculated for fill(s)
applets when such applets are used in Left/Center/Right
alignments. This also fixes the bug that the plasma
taskmanager was not updating its size properly when tasks
were added after the initialization phase.
BUG: 401456
--Debian packagers requested these files
in order to confirm the creators and licenses
for icons. This has arised again
in the past when Latte was introduced
for Ubuntu so it is good to end this
once and for all.
The creator for logo icons in folder "icons/"
is Alexey Varfolomeev and has granted GPLv2
for its icons. Alexey is a well known kde artist
and Latte project is thanking him for its fantastic
contribution, we love its icons! :)
The creator for pattern icons in folder
"containment/package/contents/icons/" is
me, Michail Vourlakos and I have also granted
for them a GPLv2 license.
The creator for icons in folder
"shell/package/contents/images/" is me,
Michail Vourlakos and I have granted

their simplicity
BUG: 400758
--the user can use applets such as
plasma icon-only taskmanager to alignments
Left,Center,Right. In previous versions
this was possible only for Justify alignment.
--applets can have different main elements based on their
implementation. In such case we use a depth of 2 in order
to search for elements that contain variable isInLatte
--this item is fully responsible in order to
communicate the latte containment with any
underlying applet. A protocol specification
is used in that item in order for applets and
latte to exchange information.
currently supported:
ingoing parameters (to applet):
bool isInLatte // is in a Latte dock
outgoing parameters (from applet):
//deprecated from disableLatteOverlay
bool disableLatteParabolicIcon
bool disableLatteOverlay //dont use Latte overlays
--in order to overlay properly the panel background
a roundness option was needed that takes into account
which borders should be drawn. In an upcoming commit
the user will be able to adjut the current plasma
theme roundness. The Colorizer is using now the
CustomBackground in order to draw the background
when the user wants to draw the contents based on
the current active window color scheme.
--support painting based on the active window scheme.
Added a schemecolors class for this and updated
abstractwindowinterface to provide tracking for windows
color schemes.
--fix also a case that the user hasnt enabled to
show panel background at all from the Show option
and the shadows where shown because they were
chosen before it was disabled by the user
--do not consider preferredWidth or preferredHeight
for applets when that value is <=0 otherwise that
applet it may become invisible. Such case is the
plasma analog clock when it is locked at a vertical
dock
BUG: 398098
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
when the plasma theme was not supporting shadows then
Latte was double drawing the panel background when
the user has chosen that wanted shadows
BUG: 397980
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--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
--this is the first beta release for
v0.8. Everything will be open for the
upcoming days including translation
strings improvements. Beta2 possibly
will introduce a string freeze.
--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.
