--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.
--the wayland interface couldnt orchestrate correctly
with the corona and the application exit. The whole
architecture changed and the window manager now is
provided by corona and corona is also responsible to
keep only one instance of it and close on exit.
--improve the function to calculate the availableScreenRect
of a specific screen. Now the function accepts two arguments
specifing which visibility modes and locations(edges) are
going to be taken into account to calculate the
availableScreenRect.
the dynamic background feature is enhanced and
becomes smarter. It understands snapped windows, windows
that touch the panel edge etc. The criteria in
order for the background to become solid are:
- any active window that is touching the panel
edge (that includes krunner)
- any inactive window that is snapped and touches
the panel edge (concerning its geometry: quarter-snapped or half-snapped)
- maximized windows
- an inactive window but keepAbove is touching
the panel edge (this catches also the yakuake case)
- panel popups
--changed the design totally and use only signals
between plasmoid in order to update their models. This
way the launcherList from their tasksmodel should be
updated only on the initialization phase of the Latte
plasmoid. Afterwards signaling between them takes
place, in order to inform each other for adding,
removing launchers, moving them and assigning them
to activities
--the addDock code now checks if at the primary screen
in the specific edge there is already assigned an explicit
dock. In that case it doesnt add that primary dock
--add functionality for layoutManager
--add widgets action and alternative layout action to
layoutManager
--remove more functionality that belongs to globalSettings
--the session functionality is not removed only from
globalsettings class which is just waiting to be removed
tottaly when its functionality moves to the new classes
--improve the signaling between the configuration window
and the dockview concerning freeEdges for current screens
and docks count. Now the docks counting is different
between screens and in general
--the globalshortcuts class contains all the relevant
code and includes also some functions that were used
from corona to trigger changes into the Latte Tasks
plasmoid
--this patch supports activation through shortcuts
--Meta+number, activates the relevant task, for
groups by default it activates the next available
window in the group
--Meta+Ctrl+number, create a new instance for that task
or launcher
--the user should know that must first enable these
shortcuts at plasma global shortcuts configuration
window
