--dont add length edge margins through offset
for start/endlayouts, much cleaner and visual
pleasing to the eye. the user can always add
spacers if prefers to add padding.
--in configure applets mode when the layouts overlap
with main centered layout then visual feedback is provided to
the user in order to help him understand in which
layout each applet belongs
--finally after two years I found why there was a glitch
when the parabolic effect was hovering from Task into
an applet and vice versa. Tasks were rounding their
size before exposing it to container. Now this is fixed.
--Drag a task animation is now improved to be a little
more responsive and to inform also its mask requirements
to animations
--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
--plasma themes because of their svg nature can
have a minimum padding under which they are not
drawn correctly. In such cases background shadows
overlap and background internal drawing overlaps
in the center. That property protects from
such case by introducing a minimum background
thickness at all cases. Good example of the issue
is observed in behaveAsPlasmaPanel(s) that are
floating and have very good round corners.
--AppletItem::clip was introduced in order to
avoid circumstances that applets exceed their limits
and as such still events from surrounding applets.
Because of that change applets should now apply
their layout properties as valid all the time
--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.
--in older version screenEdgeMargin == -1 was meant
that the screenEdgeMargin was disabled but this does not
need to be passed to View any more because variable
screenEdgeMarginDisabled is now passed directly
--Blur area is not updated instantly any more
and does not make too many unnecesary calls.
A timer was added to orchestrate this in order
for the Effects area to be updated at maximum
20times/sec.
--Dont animate the view container at all cases, that
creates a much smoother experience for the user in
editing mode
--during scrolled tasks the scrolllable list
now is autoscrolled properly when the user
is repositioning launchers through dragging
or when dragging external files over tasks
and launchers
