--when recreating the dock/panel because of
visibility mode changes sometimes there was
a crash because of the timers for the workaround
of isVisible() changes
-- under X11 it was identified that windows
many times especially under screen changes
dont end up at the correct position and size.
This vailidator(timer) will enforce repositionings
and resizes every 500ms if the window hasnt end up
to correct values and until this is achieved.
--because focus is lost from dock tooltips the
dock settings window was closing. We take into
account that case in order to not close the
dock settings window in such case
--different hardware can have different delays
in order to inform for screen changes. The tracker
(an internal timer that is) informs Latte after
a specific interval in order to track these changes
and respond accordingly.
--by default now Latte supports the KWin Edges mechanism,
this way the following issues are fixed:
fix#935, fix#721, fix#687, fix#512, fix#514
--improve dock behavior when the user user touch
gestures
--fix #144, support KWin bright placeholders
--this behavior can be disabled if the user prefers
the old one from the Tweaks page
--in !compositing no more is shown a 1px line at
the screen edge when the dock is hidden
--support KWin Edges in Multiple Layouts state under
X11
--recreateDock is used when the visibility mode
changes and as such the window must be recreated
in order to work correctly. Any remaining code
found for such function in corona and layoutManager
is removed.
--exhausted to discuss this so often so in the
end it may be my perspective wrong. Quit button
in dock settings window changed to Close button
and the Quit option moved to menu bar of the
general Latte settings window with shortcut
Ctrl+Q
--the check in order to identify if a maximized window
overlaps with the dock wasnt always been executed. That
was the case for multi-screens environments.
--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.
--the wayland interface couldnt orchestrate correctly
with the corona and the application exit. The whole
architecture changed and the window manager now is
provided by corona and corona is also responsible to
keep only one instance of it and close on exit.
--remove the Plasma Label that was used to set
the Latte trademark based on Tangerine font that
was distributed from app source code
--remove the Tangarine font from source code
--this gives the time for docks to close and also
to not create any rare crashes because qml settings
window calls this code path from its Quit button.
--use internal edit mode to wm's visibilitymanager.
More specific use it in AlwaysVisible mode in order
to not publish the new struts because the animations
have ended.
--this way the Layouts menu in now accesible
even from plasma taskmanagers. The codebase is also
the same for every component that is showing its
menus.
