--in order for a dock to be above KeepAbove
windows must contain flag BypassWindowManagerHint.
Unfortunately this flag breaks the experience with
AlwaysVisible state especially the struts and
snapping behavior. This patch recreates a
dockView when a mode is changed and an
update for the flags is needed.
--at the same time move the localGeometry to
dockView in order to trigger properly the
updateAbsGeometry when it is needed, on
window's geometry changes not only when there
is local geometry change
--when a dock is created through corona, the
addDock function reads the mode which is going
to be used and specifys this way the flags that
have to be set during docks creation
--this fix publish the correct panel borders
that should be drawn according to alignment
and location. Improves also PanelBox heurestics
and should be also any shadows issues
--the user is able to set some additional
debug flags in --debug state by just executing
the application.
supported flags:
--with-window: provides a separate window
to show metrics from each separate dock
--graphics: visual indicator for the various
elements
--mask: additional debug messages concerning
mask calculations
--this can be tested by opening the configuration window
through the tasks. Even though a task is zoomed when
triggering the configuration window the animations
do not break afterwards
--this improves the way tasks geometries are
published for the windows. This improves the
experience for the minimize kwin effects. With the
old code there were many cases that the animation
was broken
--when a task is removed too fast then some
animations were not informed that had ended.
So there was an addition animation signal but
no removal animation signal. This fix protects
this in two different cases
--the normal state also from now own uses only
the animations states and no the hovered task
indicator. This simplifies things a lot and probably
creates also a much robust experience.
--the infrastructure is in place in order to not
need the automaticAnimationLength flag. From this
commit masking based totally only on animations
flags and on hovering indexes
