The new code uses PrimaryOutputWatcher class from
Plasma Shell in order to keep track of primary
screen at all cases.

--plasma is doing some funny stuff in multi-screen
environments by changing screen ids and back and forth
when primary screen is changed. We now take into account
this and when screen plasma pools updates its ids in
any case the wallpapers tracking follows instantly.
--the new approach does not load/unload layouts
during startup/exit. When the user loads layouts
in multiple layouts mode the layouts are inserted
and when exit they still remain in the hidden
multiple layouts file. These layouts present in the
multiple layouts file from now are called preloaded
layouts.
--the new approach fixes also the wayland exit
issue and in general the message for Latte not
closed properly has been totally dropped.

When trying to compile the new Multiple Screens feature released yesterday I got this error on KDE neon:
```bash

```
After some research I found this StackOverflow answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3026148
Which referenced this FAQ by Bjarne Stroustrup:
https://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq2.html#in-class
In summary, if a `static const` is initialized in a class, and later is used as a reference in an implementation file, it should also be declared inside the implementation file. The initialization can live only inside the class.
Maybe the compiler used by @mvourlakos has an optimization to overcome such construct.
In my case by adding these two lines I could compile it on KDE neon (after fixing the first error, compilation failed on a second spot).
--some improvements introduced to 0.10.7 broke the
screen switching codepath for panels. With this
fix users can again move panels around for their
screens
BUG:448569
FIXED-IN:0.10.8
--This is a HUGE FEATURE and so important for multi-screens
users. It is introduced as one single commit because it
reimplements plenty of infrastructure changes and it will
be easier to identify newly introduced bugs.
--Users can now choose for their docks and panels to belong
at various screen groups. The first two screen groups introduced
are AllScreens and AllSecondayScreens. In the future it might
be possible to provide CustomScreensGroup that the user will
be able to define specific screens in which a dock or panel
should be always present.
--Current solution specifies an Original dock or panel and clones/copies
itself automatically to other screens. So docks and panels in other screens
are just real docks and panels that reference themselves to original
docks and panels.
--Clones are destroyed during layout startup and are automaticaly
recreated. It is suggested to export your layouts through the
official Layouts Editor in order to share them because in that case
clones are not included in the new generated layout file. If in any
case you do not this and you share your layout with any previous
versions then your clones will just appear as separate docks and
panels that belong to specific screens.
--Automatic syncing was introduced in order to keep up-to-date
the configuration of Original docks and panels with their referenced
Clones.
--Automatic syncing currently works for all docks and panels settings,
for all normal applets configurations and for all subcontaiments
configuration such as systrays.
--Automatic syncing does not work for applets inside subcontainments
such as Group Plasmoid. In such case it is suggested to configure
your applets inside your Group Plasmoid in the original dock or panel
and afterwards to trigger a recreation for the relevant clones
--Manual recreation of clones is easily possible by just choosing
the dock or panel to be OnPrimary or OnSpecificScreen and rechoosing
afterwards the AllScreensGroup or AllSecondaryScreensGroup
--identify correctly for vertical panels in right edge
when they need to draw or not their top and bottom borders.
This is enough in order to position properly these docks.

--this way when a dock or panel is scheduled for
removal but the user undo that removal all
events for main dock/panel window are forwarded
correctly. As a side fix parabolic effect works
just fine now is such scenario.
Since we already require 5.71.0 as min version of KF , it is meaning less to keep old checks for lower versions in code, this will make code more and more cleaner
Since all plasma using cpp17 and we recently switch to cpp14 think that it may be better to keep it more up-to-date and match with plasma
--this way the user can choose to use a much
greater parabolic effect that will influence five
or seven of its neighbours instead of just three.
The new option can be found at Latte Global Preferences.
--try to avoid corner cases that wm ignores OnAllDesktops
flag for specific views during startup. This patch should
protect these corner cases.

Latte Dock. As a side improvement now latte

properly even when the window center is out of screen.
