--Plasma 5.18 introduced a new dbus interface in order
for external apps to be able to publish to Plasma how
much they occupy from screen space. This is a much
requested feature from users, Latte is now publishing
both its availableScreenRect and availableScreenRegions
and this is also Multiple Layouts aware at runtime.
BUG:391073
--use a different shadows manager for dialogs such as
dock settings window through the Latte::Corona class.
The new shadow manager is responsible to draw
"dialogs/background" shadows for windows instead of
the PanelShadows original class which is responsible
to draw "widgets/background" shadows
--when dock settings window is shown it is good to
NOT overlap with plasma panels. Under X11 this is
possible because the real availableScreenGeometry
is exposed through QScreen.
--huge refactor in order to split the logic of the
Layout file. One of small steps in order to end at
the following logic:
AbstractLayout->GeneralLayout->InterfacedLayout
InterfacedLayout->NormalLayout
InterfacedLayout->OnTopLayout
PresentedLayout, that will contain references for
one ActiveLayout and one OnTopLayout and will
act as a class to provide useful information to
layoutManager and all other classes that want
to work with Views.
GeneralLayout will gain a storage object
for all STORAGE properties that require
a CORONA to work
--the menu is sending the containment id to
Latte::Corona and afterwards calls for the menu
data. These data now are including also the view
type, memory usage, active layout name and of
course the full layouts list shown to menu.
This is improvement from D18918.
-- Latte screen ids are different from plasma
screen ids. This class helps in order to help
translating the different screen ids between
Latte and Plasma.
