--different hardware can have different delays
in order to inform for screen changes. The tracker
(an internal timer that is) informs Latte after
a specific interval in order to track these changes
and respond accordingly.
--recreateDock is used when the visibility mode
changes and as such the window must be recreated
in order to work correctly. Any remaining code
found for such function in corona and layoutManager
is removed.
--exhausted to discuss this so often so in the
end it may be my perspective wrong. Quit button
in dock settings window changed to Close button
and the Quit option moved to menu bar of the
general Latte settings window with shortcut
Ctrl+Q
--the wayland interface couldnt orchestrate correctly
with the corona and the application exit. The whole
architecture changed and the window manager now is
provided by corona and corona is also responsible to
keep only one instance of it and close on exit.
--remove the Plasma Label that was used to set
the Latte trademark based on Tangerine font that
was distributed from app source code
--remove the Tangarine font from source code
--this gives the time for docks to close and also
to not create any rare crashes because qml settings
window calls this code path from its Quit button.
--if the app crashed and the user trys to reopen Latte
then the Containments must first return to their Original
Layouts. This code provides that and informs also the user
during the startup.
--improve the function to calculate the availableScreenRect
of a specific screen. Now the function accepts two arguments
specifing which visibility modes and locations(edges) are
going to be taken into account to calculate the
availableScreenRect.
the dynamic background feature is enhanced and
becomes smarter. It understands snapped windows, windows
that touch the panel edge etc. The criteria in
order for the background to become solid are:
- any active window that is touching the panel
edge (that includes krunner)
- any inactive window that is snapped and touches
the panel edge (concerning its geometry: quarter-snapped or half-snapped)
- maximized windows
- an inactive window but keepAbove is touching
the panel edge (this catches also the yakuake case)
- panel popups
--load the default layout when cant find the previous
layout for some reason. This means that something went
really wrong actually and the previous stored layout
doesnt exist anymore, at least with the same name
ised.
--the addDock code now checks if at the primary screen
in the specific edge there is already assigned an explicit
dock. In that case it doesnt add that primary dock
--during startup Latte checks if a tasks plasmoid
is going to be present (because of multi-screen settings).
Now these checks are also considering the case of
plasma taskmanagers
-- copy dock method wasnt using correctly the signals
and the methods from containments during first loading
the new copied containments. That could create crashes
if the user was trying to remove a copied dock directly
after used the copy method
--Latte when loading a layout tries to identify if based
on the docks settings there will be at least one dock
containing a tasks plasmoid. This code was extended in order
to identify also the plasma taskmanagers. One more improvement
is that this code now is executed also when dynamically
changing layouts
