--fix wrong placement at multi-screen environment
during startup. freeEdges function was not sufficient for
reconsiderScreen() because there was a chance to
exclude edges that even though they were available
it returned fault results. Such case is when
a view request available edges for specific screen
and the edge of that specific view is also exluded
because that view has not finished its movement
to the new assigned screen.
--fix re-adding an explicit dock when its screen
is activated. A check was missing in order to
confirm that a primary dock is occuping that
edge but we must check also that the primary
screen is the same with the explicit one.
--add/improve debug messages
--multi-screen fix for explicit docks. There were
cases that explicit docks during startup were
moving to onprimary screen even though they shouldnt
based on the new multi-screens implementation.
Bug was tracked down at a faulty series of signals
that were overwriting dockView config values
to default values and that was creating the fault.
-- one more fix for multi-screens, a missing return
statement in case an explicit dock is called and its
edge at that specific screen is occuppied by an
onPrimary one.
BUG: 398219
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--if a dock/panel was containing a systray there
was a chance that the systray was messing the
calculations for adding/removing docks based on
the screen and edges changes
--Improve the series of events in order for CopyDock
to work better in multi-screen environments. Copy Dock
should create the same dock in the same free edge at
different explicit screen when that edge is already
occupied in the origin screen
BUG: 397081
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--after v0.8 release many issues with multi-architecture
were identified. An alternative approach was needed
in order for Latte to get a more user-predictable state.
In new approach:
--onPrimary docks have always higher value
and should be shown, this is also like how plasma is
moving its panels.
--explicit docks are removed if their edge in their screen
is occupied by an onPrimary dock
--be stupid smart in order to check if docks contain
tasks and try to not remove them based on screen-changes
is removed! Over-Complicated code that doesnt help
in maintainability...
one of the issues was reported at following bug report...
BUG: 396806
--when changing Single mode to Multiple mode the latest
changes from user didnt get into because the kde cache
from KFileConfigPtr hadnt been updated yet. This
patch fixes this by using a temp file that contains
the layout in question.
--there were cases that during creating
or copying docks the applets ids were
created inconsistent by creating applets
with ids already reserved. This patch
fixes this by using the applet ids found
in the layout file and not the one loaded
in memory.
--give the user an option in layout file in order
to enable/disable borders for maximized windows.
the option is called "disableBordersForMaximizedWindows"
and must be put in LayoutSettings section
--this also fixes#908. Everything was ok except from
the fact that in Single layout mode the needed
lastUsedActivity variable was empty and thus it couldnt
be tracked to update the needed wallpaper correctly.
--enhanche the dynamic background feature and
in ordre to improve contrast with the underlying
background Latte now calculates the luminosity of the area
underneath the panel and based on that chooses the
best color to create contrast. The colors are chosen
only between textColor and backgroundColor.
--ghost containments such as when a user
deletes a dock without notification confirmation
can be removed afterwards when that layout is
loading either at Single or Multiple mode.
