--situation has improved vastly for users for activities
and shares when trying to change their values. The menus
that appear now contain Ok/Cancel buttons in order to
accept or ignore the changes. If the user just hides
the menu without clicking Ok button then the changes
are ignored.
--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
--original data indexes may not be consistent with
current layouts data. If a layout is removed from
current layouts then many original layouts data indexes
are totally different. This commit fixes this.
--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.
--when the shared layout has user assigned icon
then that icon is always preferred
--choose which icons are drawn for shared layout
based completely on what icons are already chosen
for the assigned shares (central layouts)
--drop the sub handler detailsoptionshandler
because the new design wont have tabs like the main
settings window does. Views table will be provided
through a new sub dialog.
--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.
--all storage functions are now taking place into
the same Latte TMP directory that is introduced
for layouts. So no more .bak files are needed from
~/.config folder.
--the new code succeeds in more cases and
trys also to handle some wrongly designed
cases such the Air plasma theme that provides
zig-zag corner shadows
--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
--the new approach is first tracking panel-background
shadows if they are available and shown in order to
identify the plasma theme panel background roundness
--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.
--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.
--use the original Latte trademark at all
times in Primary config view setttings. In
the past there were icon themes that was
changing Latte icon to something alientic
and that approach was breaking the Latte
trademark visual appearance.
--qt 5.15 keeps the non sense for continuously informing
the user for qt 6.0 changes. Problem is that as long an
application supports qt < 5.14 these deprecated functions
can not be fixed yet.
--The new implementation for snapping needed to remove
the touching view edge from touching algorithm. The
windows trakers now provide two separate values for each
touching.
----First value is for regular window touches for which
their window geometry intersects with view published
absoluteGeometry
----Second value is for windows that are touching
view edge without intersecting with view geometry
--when a behaveAsPlasmaPanel is sliding-in and View
is in editMode, it is a good idea to calle
Positioner::syncGeometry() in order to validate
the View window geometry in edit mode. The problematic
case example was a right SideBar Panel that when
was hidden and the user was using Meta+A to
show its settings, the View did not change its
geometry properly in the end.
--View::Effects now provides in API in order for
elements to publish regions that need to be added
or removed from View::mask(). A good example for this
is View Config windows that must remove a rectangle
for their bottom edge in order for users to have
fully access to their action buttons at the bottom.
--when hidden configuration windows are deleted memory
consumption is improved and provides much lower values
--when hidden configuration windows are not deleted
memory consumption increases but their responsiveness
for hiding/showing is instantly
--really handy and beautiful in order to confirm the
calculations that are valid. Already a bug was found
for ParabolicEffect. There is 1px difference between
hovering Tasks and Applets
--View recreation path was broken from new implementation
for Latte::Interfaces that pass objects to containment
interface. This is now fixed and Interfaces::View object is updated
and broadcasted correctly when changed
--when GtkFrameExtents are zeroed for behaveAsPlasmaPanels
then it is better to recreate the view to avoid freezes and
hidings of the view because of compositor strange behavior
--use a single slot when View triggers its workarounds
for the kwin issue that kwin hides panels when an activity
stops. In such case the view shadows are also redrawn.
--there are cases that the Blurred area svg returns
a NULL mask() even though it should not. In such
cases the workaround takes place and for the workaround
the calculations have already taken place and we
do not need to reapply them because in that case
the blurred area moves out of the window.
--used a video demonstrating multiple panels at the
bottom edge with padding between them
--max/minLength and offset are changed to float values
--max/minLength and offset can now be adjusted with
Ctrl+Wheel over their label in Appearance tab page. Clicking
the previous mentioned label will round the values
--introduce an autoSizeEnabled value in order to block
auto size mechanism when it becomes annoying. Such issue
appears more often to Latte panels
--block MenuZ from Latte icon heuristics
--implement things simpler by using the same
CoreTypes header file both for LatteCore.Types
import statement and App c++ implementation.
Let's leave in the future to decide if
a LibLatte is really necessary.
--always find the highest view that is going to be
used for global shortcuts based on position activation
--adjust the code a bit for SideBars in order to show
when a SideBar is called for global shortcuts based
on position activation and hide correctly when the
global shortcut is not triggered any more.
BUG:420356
--when the user requests to activate an applet that
it is not expandable such as DashBoard then only
thing that it is possible, it is to forcefully
activate it
BUG:420275
--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
