--after v0.8 release many issues with multi-architecture
were identified. An alternative approach was needed
in order for Latte to get a more user-predictable state.
In new approach:
--onPrimary docks have always higher value
and should be shown, this is also like how plasma is
moving its panels.
--explicit docks are removed if their edge in their screen
is occupied by an onPrimary dock
--be stupid smart in order to check if docks contain
tasks and try to not remove them based on screen-changes
is removed! Over-Complicated code that doesnt help
in maintainability...
one of the issues was reported at following bug report...
BUG: 396806
--when an application launcher exists, Latte can show
a "Meta" badge for that applet instead of the global
shortcut action number. With this patch we take also
into account when the assigned application launcher is
in different dock/panel and show it accordingly
BUG: 396753
--there were cases that during creating
or copying docks the applets ids were
created inconsistent by creating applets
with ids already reserved. This patch
fixes this by using the applet ids found
in the layout file and not the one loaded
in memory.
--in some systems that layouts are readonly when
copied to user "latte" directory were still
read-only. We are fixing these permissions with
this patch.
--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
--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.
--ghost containments such as when a user
deletes a dock without notification confirmation
can be removed afterwards when that layout is
loading either at Single or Multiple mode.
--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.
--if the app crashed and the user trys to reopen Latte
then the Containments must first return to their Original
Layouts. This code provides that and informs also the user
during the startup.
