--implementation is much more concrete now and we
need to be 1px precise in order to provide good
snapping and dodge visibility modes correctly
--in upcoming commit the view is touched property
will mean without window is touching the view edge.
For view edges touching there will be a different
variable that can be used from containment and
applets.
--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
--applets are now always take into account the splitters
placement and the splitters try to be always in the
center. This is much more predictable and understanble
from the user
--I have managed to solve most of the issues that were
preventing a live demonstration of applets layout
during InConfigureApplets mode... Things are more
intuitive now are updated correctly between different
layout areas... enjoy...
--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
--use a more logical organization for types. LibLatte2
is split to become LatteCore library and Latte types
are now moved to application level. The Latte Types will
be split even more... Tasks-Only related types will
become Latte.Tasks types
BUG:420210
--the new infrastructure can remember settings between
CustomBackgroundStyle and ColorStyle in order to
help the user to not have to reassign values
when changing backgrounds, between predefined
colors style and custom one.
--plasma durations can mess up the Latte animations
experience a lot. We now use our own set animations
durations which are independent of what the user
chose for plasma animations speed.
BUG:418883
--the user can now choose for vertical views to
stick their edges at the top or bottom screen edge
and ignore any top or bottom views accordingly. These
options are available in the Transparent Settings
area for vertical views and in advanced settings
mode.
--requesting from users a different way to remove
the Latte Tasks plasmoid if they want to is not
a good hig. Reenabling the classic ways to remove
Latte Tasks. The user can now use the applet tooltip
to remove it or by right clicking it in Latte
edit mode. Because of this the Tasks->Recycling
button is not needed any more.
BUG:415274
--it is safer to block/unblock view hiding based on
edit mode animations. This way any view hiding mechanisms
are applied only after the containment editMode has
really applied.
--when the view settings window is closed then the
View must return to normal mode and disable
the editMode. In qt 5.14 default states that have a "when"
property do not play well
