--PlasmaExtended::Theme produces QRegions based on corners
radius that can be consumed afterwards from Effects calculations
in order to provide correct QRegions for custom backgrounds
produced from custom background radius option
--many plasma themes disable their shadows with
settings their opacity to zero instead of removing
their shadow elements. In such case the new approach
sets the hasShadow flag to zero
--Plasma::FrameSvgItem margins are not consintent
in order to provide helpful hints how plasma theme
panel-background svg is drawn properly. The new
approach calculates paddings based on top,left,bottom,right
svg elements and in that way a consistent a properly
background.minimumThickness is discovered.
--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

--identify better what is the plasma theme color
palette the creator has chosen and use ALWAYS
the same color palette that Plasma is also using.
In the past, Latte was trying to protect the
color palette because Latte REVERSED colors mode
did not work fine for all plasma themes. That
approach is abandoned, Latte will use the same
colors group with plasma themes and it is on
the creators responsibility to provide enough
contrast
--during searching the plasma theme roundness,
opacity values for pixels > 200 are considered
to be in panel background part. This fixes also
the Oxygen theme case and provides a better roundness
value now
--following plasma approach and use always
even for !compositing mode the widgets/panel-background
svg file. This way when Latte and Plasma panels are
combined there is uniformity between them.
BUG: 406597
--infrastructure is now ready to expose to
applets the full color paletter and not
make compromises by choosing only from
original plasma theme for some of the
exposed colors
--dont reverse colors for selection group.
It creates a much nicer effect from user point
of view to keep the highlighting colors the
same for both the normal and reversed plasma
themes.
--there is now an always shown underlying layer that
provides full solidness for 100% panel transparency
--Colorizer.CustomBackground was updated in order to
support Borders drawing
