--use plasma approach in order to show context menus
for applets by introducing a new QuickItem that will
be responsible for this at the bottom of applets and
containment layers
--new introduced external spacers of main layout are
used from parabolic effect in order to keep the contents
of main layout in balance. That produces a much better
visual result for the user because when the user hovers
an item, that item is zoomed and the mouse is still
present at first hovered position.
--the user can now move the background opacity slider
to the farest left side and is such case it will get
the plasma theme default opacity. This is the same
way that background radius and shadows size can return
to default settings
BUG:443366
--provide a minimum window thickness for docks at 384px.
and afterwards use maxiconsize, maxmargin etc calculations
in order to use greater window thicknesses
--make head thickness margin and tail thickness
margin totally independent
--ability item: reanchor it based on the screen edge
like applets are already doing
--adjust tasks animations in order to take into
account the anchoring
--parabolic effect adjust calculations to use
new thickness margins
--This is a HUGE FEATURE and so important for multi-screens
users. It is introduced as one single commit because it
reimplements plenty of infrastructure changes and it will
be easier to identify newly introduced bugs.
--Users can now choose for their docks and panels to belong
at various screen groups. The first two screen groups introduced
are AllScreens and AllSecondayScreens. In the future it might
be possible to provide CustomScreensGroup that the user will
be able to define specific screens in which a dock or panel
should be always present.
--Current solution specifies an Original dock or panel and clones/copies
itself automatically to other screens. So docks and panels in other screens
are just real docks and panels that reference themselves to original
docks and panels.
--Clones are destroyed during layout startup and are automaticaly
recreated. It is suggested to export your layouts through the
official Layouts Editor in order to share them because in that case
clones are not included in the new generated layout file. If in any
case you do not this and you share your layout with any previous
versions then your clones will just appear as separate docks and
panels that belong to specific screens.
--Automatic syncing was introduced in order to keep up-to-date
the configuration of Original docks and panels with their referenced
Clones.
--Automatic syncing currently works for all docks and panels settings,
for all normal applets configurations and for all subcontaiments
configuration such as systrays.
--Automatic syncing does not work for applets inside subcontainments
such as Group Plasmoid. In such case it is suggested to configure
your applets inside your Group Plasmoid in the original dock or panel
and afterwards to trigger a recreation for the relevant clones
--Manual recreation of clones is easily possible by just choosing
the dock or panel to be OnPrimary or OnSpecificScreen and rechoosing
afterwards the AllScreensGroup or AllSecondaryScreensGroup
--this way the user can choose to use a much
greater parabolic effect that will influence five
or seven of its neighbours instead of just three.
The new option can be found at Latte Global Preferences.
--after recreating a view, launchers group is now
assigned again correctly. As it appears the problem
was that Host.MyView ability was sending an isReady
signal that was not accurate enough.
--introducing in Indicators API a new option to
specify the indicator preference for the distance
between the indicator and panel background roundness.
By altering the option the indicator can get into
the panel background roundness.
BUG:442675
--the new approach is not using timers but actual
events from View in order to identify when the
view is fully shown and when their popup is actual
visible. This way popup showing and view slide-in
is always synchronized properly
BUG:425078
--fix case of icons-only plasma taskmanager in order to
provide a way to center it. The user can add icon-only
taskmanager in center of Justify mode and add also
two latte expanding spacers around it in order center it.
BUG:434198
--in Layouter two steps codepath at the end ALL fill
applets at Start/End layouts should adjust their size
in order to not overlap with fill applets in Main layout.
These calculations were broken because they were not
applied properly.
--move elements around in order for the user to find
them at the same positions for all cases independent
if the user triggers context menu from applets or
empty containment areas
