--finally after two years I found why there was a glitch
when the parabolic effect was hovering from Task into
an applet and vice versa. Tasks were rounding their
size before exposing it to container. Now this is fixed.
--Drag a task animation is now improved to be a little
more responsive and to inform also its mask requirements
to animations
--AppletItem::clip was introduced in order to
avoid circumstances that applets exceed their limits
and as such still events from surrounding applets.
Because of that change applets should now apply
their layout properties as valid all the time
--use a single slot when View triggers its workarounds
for the kwin issue that kwin hides panels when an activity
stops. In such case the view shadows are also redrawn.
--during scrolled tasks the scrolllable list
now is autoscrolled properly when the user
is repositioning launchers through dragging
or when dragging external files over tasks
and launchers
--a new implementation is needed which is going
to be simpler and lighter. Removing the current
implementation, parabolic effect works just fine
without issues and feels more responsive.
--the new implementation relies on items in order to
forward scale signals properly to their neighbours. So
parabolic effect does not have to know separators and
hidden items any more. As it appears it is lighter
also and more responsive. This is a very important
milestone for the parabolic effect.
--various improvements/fixes for previews and highlight
windows in new plasmoid architecture. All tasks settings
are now stored in applet level and not in containment
level
BUG:420692
--an better plural naming was chosen in order for
for consumers to distiguish abilities purpose. Abilities
are designed to be use by multiple applets and
containers
--improve types and references and add types splitted
at better places. So now we have
- LatteCore.Types that are global for all components
- LatteTasks.Types that are private to tasks plasmoid
- LatteContainment.Types that are private to latte
containment
