--use a different shadows manager for dialogs such as
dock settings window through the Latte::Corona class.
The new shadow manager is responsible to draw
"dialogs/background" shadows for windows instead of
the PanelShadows original class which is responsible
to draw "widgets/background" shadows
--requesting from users a different way to remove
the Latte Tasks plasmoid if they want to is not
a good hig. Reenabling the classic ways to remove
Latte Tasks. The user can now use the applet tooltip
to remove it or by right clicking it in Latte
edit mode. Because of this the Tasks->Recycling
button is not needed any more.

--for floating views the hide timer can do
the trick about when to make the checks
that the view must become hidden. In floating
views should support different default and
current value because it should be greater
that the normal use cases.
--improved settings for Floating windows in Behavior
tab and add a new option to hide ALL screen gaps meaning
both length screen and thickness screen gap when there
is a maximized window in the screen
BUG:415630
--applets can now use the screen edge margin value
in order to follow Fitt's Law for floating docks/panels
if they want to. Latte takes case all applets of
course but in case an applet would like also to
to use also the space between the gap of the view
and the screen edge, it can so.
--when option "Hide Background when not needed" is
used on its own activates or not the forceTransparentPanel
code path. So when that option is enabled and any
window is touching the Latte::View then the force
transparency codepath should be disabled. In such
case the user background settings are applied.

FIXED-IN:0.9.5
--previously the user when the zoom factor was
1.0 the title tooltips was disabled. BUT as it
appers there are plenty of cases that title
tooltips can be shown when zoom factor = 1.0
so the user it is better to choose if wants them
or not.

--The user from Tasks,Badges can choose a more prominent
color for notification badges (usually reddish). In case
the user has not enabled that option(default) then the plasma
theme highlight color is used which is also the default
option of Latte v0.8
BUG: 408955
--when the desktop background isBusy and
the user has chosen full transparency when
no window is touching the View then the
user can set the Busy Opacity to define
how much panel background opacity wants
--Latte can now use the new multi-screen
Last Active Window infrastructur to choose
which Active Window is preferred, only from
current screen OR from all screens
--TitleTooltips produced by Latte are thinner but they
can create issues comparing with user expectations and
how Plasma applets original work. This fix takes the
Plasma original behavior as granted and for now on
TitleTooltips from Latte will be applied ONLY WHEN:
----The parabolic effect is enabled, zoomFactor>0% AND
the applet in question is NOT LOCKED, meaning that its
Parabolic Effect is active
--the user can now adjust the Scrolling options
for its Tasks when the items overflow. The following
are provided:
Scrolling: ENABLE/DISABLE
--Manual Scrolling: DISABLE/PARALLEL/HORIZONTALANDVERTICAL
--Auto Scrolling: ENABLE/DISABLE
BUG: 407779
--the Latte Settings window tries its best in order
to provide a nice experience concerning its width/height
ratio and a width size that is best for its contents.
There are cases that this fails so the user in the
best to set it right. Latte now provides two shortcuts
Meta+Scroll, that changes the width scale ratio and
Ctrl+Scroll, that changes the height scale ratio when
settings are in Basic mode.
The previous shortcuts must be applied when the mouse
is over the empty areas in the Settings View window.
--based on the current indicator there minimum
thickness and indicator padding can be altered.
Providing some visual feedback for the user to
understand these limits is a good practice.
--there is a combinantion of settings that enables
plasma original applet behavior.
1. the applet is locked and is not using parabolic effect
2. the zoomfactor === 1 and the user has not activated
title tooltips
