--when the user requests a specific layout in Multiple
Layout mode the new approach is the following. If
the layout has assigned activities this is respected
but if its activities are empty that layout is assigned
only on the current activity and any other layouts assigned
explicitly to that activity are released
--the controller does not need to host its own
CentralLayouts any more. It retrieves original
data for Synchronizer, updates layouts accordingly
and sends back to Synchronizer all the updated
layouts data
--Move in a simpler layouts approach.
--Single Layout mode loads ONLY ONE Layout for ALL Activities
--Multiple Layouts mode loads any combination of Layouts based
on the following settings:
-- OnAllActivities
-- ForFreeActivities
-- SpecificActivities
--onSomethingChanged syntax is preferred for all
slots that are triggered from somethingChanged signals
--doThis syntax is preferred for generic slots that
are triggered from various different codepaths
--original data indexes may not be consistent with
current layouts data. If a layout is removed from
current layouts then many original layouts data indexes
are totally different. This commit fixes this.
--when the shared layout has user assigned icon
then that icon is always preferred
--choose which icons are drawn for shared layout
based completely on what icons are already chosen
for the assigned shares (central layouts)
--the new infrastructure can remember settings between
CustomBackgroundStyle and ColorStyle in order to
help the user to not have to reassign values
when changing backgrounds, between predefined
colors style and custom one.
--this way the model items can become aware
of all data changes and become visual
responsive accordingly. All changed data
should use the italic paradigm... If a
value is changed from its original value
can become italic in order for the user
to know which values have changed.
--when the user has altered the free_activities from
its context menu then settings window it must better
update its record concerning the layout that will
be responsible for free activities
