--this is finally used properly through the
ParabolicManagers new architecture. Any old
problems concerning applets that didnt clearing
their zoom should be fixed totally now!!
--move all the logic around parabolic effect signals
into one place, ParabolicManager. The ParabolicManager
is responsible for triggering all the messages to tasks
that are neighbour to the hovered task. This will
help a lot to catch cases such as separators and proper
clearing zoom.
--when the attention animation is played for a task
and the user hovers that task, the animation is ended
smoothly and if the mouse is still hovering the task,
the tasks are restored correctly
--the internal separator codebase has been simplified
a lot and uses a new approach that provides a smoother
parabolic effect. This is part1 concerning improve separators,
in part2 applets separator will to try to be improved
--new architecture for the internal tasks separator,
one of which we can build upon for the future... No
breakage in the animation now, it is much smoother and
cleaner... but... it is needed to update all the pieces
around in order to work properly on all cases...
--when a task needs attention the task bounces for
8500ms instead of 6500ms
--the color animation of needs attention was
improved in order to not drain the cpu cycles
--all animations concerning needs attention,bouncing
and color are stopped after the 8500ms timer
--the bounce animation is not stopped in the middle
but it waits each bounce to finish in order to make the checks
