--when a vertical view is in busy state and is touching
also a horizontal view that is fully transparent in
SMART mode then the visual result is not that good.
In that case it is better to show the view background.
The horizontal view background in that case can provide
three different states:
a) if the panel style for popups is activated then the
horizontal view will follow the plasma original style
b) if NOT [a] and solid background for touching windows
is enabled then solid background will be offered
c) if NOT [a] and NOT [b] then the isBusy state
transparency will be offered
--trying to increase smartness for horizontal
and vertical views. In multiple layouts environment
a view can exist in cases that one or more of
the sided views that is touching it is NOT
transparent, it would be nice for those
cases the top or bottom view to LOSE also
its transparency in order to not look
inconsistent.
--when hide timer is set below 50ms. there are
cases that does not let the view to be shown after
a containmouse trigerring. By setting a minimum
value for the timer to 50ms this is fixed.

--when KWin edges are used in a SharedLayout then the
all view Layout::isCurrent() function must be used
otherwise the layout is not identified properly as
current based on different layouts per activities
--in such case under x11, the winIds of the visible
Latte windows are changed and as such the windows
tracking mechanism becomes broken. The code introduced
tries to track the case the update the WM::ignoredWindows
properly
--this function creates irrelevant crashes even
under x11 environment... Dropped in favour of
show()/hide() functions that seem to not create
any issues
--fixes to signals in ViewParts in order to avoid
crashes. Currently the recreateView approach is used
in order to reload indicators runtime dynamically.
The "View::setSource" approach does not reload the
indicators properly
--the previous approach was disabling the background
contrast effect at all times except when the background
opacity was 100%, the new approach considers the background
opacity value and provide mid values to be applied.
That means that 0% background opacity disables the background
constrast visual effect, 100% applies the background contrast
visual effect at its maximum values and in between the mid
values for background contrast effect are applied
--View::WindowsTracker now provides all the time
information about CurrentScreen and AllScreens!
This way all consumers (Latte::Containment, Applets etc.)
can choose whatever suits them best.
--when dragging a new applet over the view
the responsiveness is now improved vastly
--the new architecture uses two different
DragAndDropAreas. One which is the old one
and is used when dragged launchers, urls and
separators. The second is used only when
applets are dragged into the view
--the visuals for adding launchers/applets have
been improved and a circular visual is preferred
now instead
