-- The new approach reduces mask area calls to
barely minimum. Input mask is used instead to
specify the area for which we accept input.
-- The new approach solves also the BLACKLINE issue
when hovering the view at startup. This is because
at all times the full window area is drawn.
--Move in a simpler layouts approach.
--Single Layout mode loads ONLY ONE Layout for ALL Activities
--Multiple Layouts mode loads any combination of Layouts based
on the following settings:
-- OnAllActivities
-- ForFreeActivities
-- SpecificActivities
--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
--onSomethingChanged syntax is preferred for all
slots that are triggered from somethingChanged signals
--doThis syntax is preferred for generic slots that
are triggered from various different codepaths
--when unloading layouts applets are deleted
and subsequently all the heuristics for identifying
expanded applets are removed. In such case
there were rare cases that applet()->id() was
trying to be accessed and that was subsequently
creating crashes because applet did not exist
anymore. AppletQuickItems probably are deleted
after applet has already been destroyed.
--the new approach is much more memory efficient
as the same indicator config ui is used for ALL
views and anything related to config uis is now
handled by the manager instead of each diffent
view on its own
--curent view indicator config ui is not deleted
when the PrimaryConfigView changes its parent view.
For each view there is one indicator config ui
that is kept available to be shown when appropriate.
This way we avoid unnecessary recreations of indicator
config uis when the user cycles between different views
settings.
--inEditMode is now updated directly from
containment()->inUserConfiguring()
--add again hiding blockers when View gets
into edit mode. That was lost during last commits
because it was part of Visual qml code that
has been moved to another window.
--floating gap window is now activated independently of
kwin edges supports and only when really needed.
SidebarAutoHide visibility mode has been adjusted in order
to work nicely with floating gap window helper
--when the user has triggered its showing. It must be
given enough time for the user to observed the sidebar
contents before checking out if the sidebar must hide.
--as it appears in wayland the struts calculations must be
applied for exact screen_edge coordinates and use only the
view shown thickness. During the process floating panels
struts were not accurate at all cases and as such they
were fixed also for x11.
--when View::Visibility::mustBeShown signal is
triggered then the Views should always be shown
even when KWin has hide it with no real reason
--force appling activities to ALL View related windows
when changing current Activity. This way we make
sure that when KWin makes faulty assignments,
Latte is coming to the rescue.
