--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.
--improve a lot how applets are positioned in
different alignments and more specific take into
consideration the background roundness and the
items specified length margin in order to provide
always the most consistent look for the user
--at the same time improve a lot background length
calculations and various alignments published
layout geometry in order to correspond much
better to real visible estate
--that option from Behavior page is now renamed and
also its behavior has been upgraded by enabling
three possible options:
1. Disabled always
2. Auto - which is enabled for Docks and disabled for Panels
3. Enabled always
--in justify mode the centered applets are now
offseted when overlapped from side layouts
in order to always present to the user all applets
and at the same time improve accesibility. That
approach takes into account how plasma panels
in 5.19 behave when the user has added auto-centered
plasma spacers.
--dont add length edge margins through offset
for start/endlayouts, much cleaner and visual
pleasing to the eye. the user can always add
spacers if prefers to add padding.
--in configure applets mode when the layouts overlap
with main centered layout then visual feedback is provided to
the user in order to help him understand in which
layout each applet belongs
--really handy and beautiful in order to confirm the
calculations that are valid. Already a bug was found
for ParabolicEffect. There is 1px difference between
hovering Tasks and Applets
