--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.
--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.
--This new approach paints all docks and panels during
starup offscreen. This way especially under x11 not a lot of
visual glitches are appearing all over the place.
After startup time has ended docks and panels are
moved at their original and valid placement and slide in
animations are triggered.
--provide addAppletItem function
--provide reorderSplitters in Start and End
layouts when an applet is added in them and
the splitters are moving in faulty position
--when an applet is not loaded properly is removed
from its registered order
--when an applet is loaded properly but is not found
in the registered order is at in the end of the stack
