--View recreation path was broken from new implementation
for Latte::Interfaces that pass objects to containment
interface. This is now fixed and Interfaces::View object is updated
and broadcasted correctly when changed
--when GtkFrameExtents are zeroed for behaveAsPlasmaPanels
then it is better to recreate the view to avoid freezes and
hidings of the view because of compositor strange behavior
--use a single slot when View triggers its workarounds
for the kwin issue that kwin hides panels when an activity
stops. In such case the view shadows are also redrawn.
--there are cases that the Blurred area svg returns
a NULL mask() even though it should not. In such
cases the workaround takes place and for the workaround
the calculations have already taken place and we
do not need to reapply them because in that case
the blurred area moves out of the window.
--used a video demonstrating multiple panels at the
bottom edge with padding between them
--max/minLength and offset are changed to float values
--max/minLength and offset can now be adjusted with
Ctrl+Wheel over their label in Appearance tab page. Clicking
the previous mentioned label will round the values
--introduce an autoSizeEnabled value in order to block
auto size mechanism when it becomes annoying. Such issue
appears more often to Latte panels
--block MenuZ from Latte icon heuristics
--implement things simpler by using the same
CoreTypes header file both for LatteCore.Types
import statement and App c++ implementation.
Let's leave in the future to decide if
a LibLatte is really necessary.
--always find the highest view that is going to be
used for global shortcuts based on position activation
--adjust the code a bit for SideBars in order to show
when a SideBar is called for global shortcuts based
on position activation and hide correctly when the
global shortcut is not triggered any more.
BUG:420356
--when the user requests to activate an applet that
it is not expandable such as DashBoard then only
thing that it is possible, it is to forcefully
activate it
BUG:420275
--use a more logical organization for types. LibLatte2
is split to become LatteCore library and Latte types
are now moved to application level. The Latte Types will
be split even more... Tasks-Only related types will
become Latte.Tasks types
BUG:420210
--First steps in order to support mulitple Tasks
applets in the same dock and panel.
--Step1: migrate values from Containment to Task
applet.
--Step2: deprecate Task applet options that are
found in containment
--Step3: provide multiple dynamic Tasks tabs in
settings
--when default indicators are reinstalled then
views do not have to be reload its sources. The user
is expected in such cases to restart Latte. At the
same time installing Latte multiple times does not
create too many views recreations with no real
reason
--add GenericDialog class in order to provide
same implementation for all settings::dialogs.
As a first step GenericDialog provides a common
showInlineMessage api
--when real panel views are slided out either for auto
hiding, dodge case or dynamically removing their screen
margin the desktop available space should not be
changed; it should stay the same.
--LastActiveWindow is providing information to
applets thus special windows that contain
the following flags:
skipTaskBar AND (skipPager OR skipSwitcher)
these windows can be totally ignored.
In such window case the LastActiveWindow used
are provided.
BUG:419384
--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.
--the new code can understand ALL applets that are
inside an internal containment style applets such
as plasma, nomad systrays and group plasmoid
FIXED-IN:0.9.10
--the workaround to reshow views when the activities are
pausing from the kwin_x11 bug interfer with user REMOVING
a dock or panel. We now protect the workaround to not
interfere with REALREMOVING
--LastActiveWindow application data should be updated
only when the last active window id is equal with
the sent application data. Otherwise we may show
Application name and icon for totally irrelevant
window.
Bug was first reported at:
https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-title/issues/89/
FIXED-IN:0.9.10
--we introduce handlers that are going to be
responsible for the ui parts of settings windows.
So having data structures, MVC for models/tables that
are used and Handlers for any ui interaction
simplify the implementation and make it more
structured in order to be maintained and grow
safely.
--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.
--behaveAsPlasmaPanel can now slide in/out as real windows
but after they hide there is a chance that their geometry
should be updated. This patch makes sure that this will
happen exactly before the BEHAVEASPLASMAPANEL starts
sliding-in.
--when the user has chosen to hide the screen gap
when there is a maximized window in the screen and
at the same time the View behaves as plasma panel,
it now slides in/out nicely
--this way we make sure that the user will be
able to trigger showing with mouse at the screen
edge. Using the window mask to succeed in this
in not an option.
--change them with moveTop/Left which provide
the exact math calculations that are needed
for geometries. Functions setX/Y must be
avoided because they may change the width
and height values.
--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
