--when dragging a new applet over the view
the responsiveness is now improved vastly
--the new architecture uses two different
DragAndDropAreas. One which is the old one
and is used when dragged launchers, urls and
separators. The second is used only when
applets are dragged into the view
--the visuals for adding launchers/applets have
been improved and a circular visual is preferred
now instead
--fix all events identifications from DragMove and
DragExit etc. in containment::qml part and all drags
flags are calculated only at DragEnter! This fixes
the DragMove signaling and all DragMove signals are
sent correctly.
It needs to be fixed also for Tasks plasmoid because
every time the mouse hovers the Tasks Plasmoid then
the DragMove signals are NOT SENT as they should.
--the applets mouse click events are now tracked
for View::MouseSignals tracking mechanism. This
way no MouseArea is used overlaied over the applets
for the mouse click events. In that way the applets
are using their own built-in functionality for mouse
click events and at the same time for Latte is tracking
only the neutral areas for this meaning the applets external
margins in order to obey Fitt's Law
BUG: 406215
--case 1: first left applet neighbour of Tasks was not
clearing its zoom if the mouse was entering too fast
the Tasks applet from the applet direction
--case 2: first task in Tasks was not clearing its zoom
when the applet triggering the clear zoom effect was too
far from the Tasks
BUG: 401294
--in order to show built-in hover/clicked animations
for applets, the applets must be Squared/with no
Plasma behavior and the chosen Indicator to not
provide hover or click animation
--add initialization of values for views
tracking hints when enabled becomes false
--add some debug messages to be used when
we want to test out things
--the criteria in order to track when an applet can
be zoomed or not have increased. The limit is now
specified from (iconSize+thickMargins) for applets
--fix separators, spacers corner cases behavior
--dont apply hidden spacers for separators and
spacers
--remove the plasma panel spacer reference which
is deprecated and not used any more
--fixed struts gap for !compositing mode in order
to handle the strange kwin behavior. Kwin under
!compositing removes 1px. from the struts specified
by windows
--plenty of fixes concerning automatic coloring
under !compositing mode
--following plasma approach and use always
even for !compositing mode the widgets/panel-background
svg file. This way when Latte and Plasma panels are
combined there is uniformity between them.
BUG: 406597
--this patch positions correctly behaveAsPanel view
types in !compositing mode concerning and taking into
account maxLength and offset
--the patch introduces also an AppletsContainer to
substitute all three layouts of LayoutsContainer
--this is side-way path for mouse events and
more specific the mouse pressed, released
events to be sent from parent window to its
qml containment part. This way it is possible
to keep the original plasma applet behavior
such as original plasma tooltips and provide
Latte specific functionality such as animated
clicks from indicators.
NOTE: An investigation - testing took place in
order to check if this approach could be also used
for mouseMove events to be used for applets parabolic
effect. The result was that this was not possible because
there were too many signals and too much calculations
too identify for which applet the signal belonged to.
The parabolic effect was not fluid in that case and
could not catch up.
--infrastructure is now ready to expose to
applets the full color paletter and not
make compromises by choosing only from
original plasma theme for some of the
exposed colors
--dont reverse colors for selection group.
It creates a much nicer effect from user point
of view to keep the highlighting colors the
same for both the normal and reversed plasma
themes.
--providesHoveredAnimation, in order to disable
the Latte one
--providesClickedAnimation, in order to disable
the Latte one
--needsMouseEventCoordinates, in order to know
when the mouse pressed e.g. creating animations
like the android way
--fix how applets are identifying their index when the
user switches alignments from Justify to Another and
vice versa. More specific this patch helps in order to
not break the parabolic effect between alignment changes.
--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
Summary:
When iconSize is not big enough, center aligned shortcut badges look better than top-left aligned ones.
BUG: 406037
Test Plan:
- When iconSize < 48: shortcut badges are center aligned
- When iconSize >= 48: they are top-left aligned
For example, with iconSize = 32:

Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D20128
--introduce a new class called level which contains
all the needed information concerning indicator level
and at the same time the bridge that provides information
for the specific indicator states
--try to improve experience for liveEditingMode and
inConfigureApplets. LiveEditingMode should be as much
as nearer to the standard experience and inConfigureApplets
state should provide nice coloring
--in order for all indicators infrastructure to
load the plugin correctly the configuration and
the component elements of ViewPart::Indicator
must be loaded first correctly and afterwards
the relevant Indicators to follow
