- Hide Thickness Screen Gap scenario provides two different struts thicknesses.
--- [1] The first struts thickness is when there is no maximized window and is such case
--- the view is behaving as in normal AlwaysVisible visibility mode. This is very useful
--- when users tile windows. [bug #432122]
--- [2] The second struts thickness is when there is a maximized window present and in such case
--- the view is hiding all of its screen edges. It is used mostly when the view is wanted
--- to act as a window titlebar.
BUG:432122
--following new norms and styles the struts
applying for Always Visible they now take into account
the screen edge margin and apply the same margin
also at their head thickness margin. If there is
much negative user feedback this might be reverted.
BUG:419731
--when a floating view is hiding its screen gap
there is no reason for struts to be added
during that phase. Published struts could be
the final expected window position in that case.
BUG:431255
--when starting Latte and a floating dock
has chosen to hide its screen gap for maximized
windows, in that case was not updating its
window thickness properly
--use only input events in order to identify the area
from which a window accepts input and also remove almost
every mask-qml code handling
--by reducing mask usage to minimum we fix also the
BLACKLINE bug under X11
-- The new approach reduces mask area calls to
barely minimum. Input mask is used instead to
specify the area for which we accept input.
-- The new approach solves also the BLACKLINE issue
when hovering the view at startup. This is because
at all times the full window area is drawn.
