--use plasma way to layout the applets. With this
fix all the applets layout is improved vastly
especially concerning more the plasma indicators
trigerred by applets.
--activeIndicatorEnabled, applets can use it in order
to enable/disable the Latte Active Indicator for them
--parabolicEffectEnabled, applets can use it in order
to disable Parabolic Effect (zoom) for them
--when the user has enabled the monochrome colorizing
in that case in applet options there is now a new option
in order for the user to choose if wants or not that
applet to be colorized. Such an example are colorful
applets that lose their proper appearance through
monochrome option.
Summary: Fix minor typos in messages and comments

--applets can have different main elements based on their
implementation. In such case we use a depth of 2 in order
to search for elements that contain variable isInLatte
--this item is fully responsible in order to
communicate the latte containment with any
underlying applet. A protocol specification
is used in that item in order for applets and
latte to exchange information.
currently supported:
ingoing parameters (to applet):
bool isInLatte // is in a Latte dock
outgoing parameters (from applet):
//deprecated from disableLatteOverlay
bool disableLatteParabolicIcon
bool disableLatteOverlay //dont use Latte overlays
--trying to combine dock mode, panel mode and
parabolic effect with plasma applets current implementation
can create such issues. Removing the zoom=1
criteria to activate the Latte MouseArea. The
user can still lock plasmoids that want the
Hover Default Plasmoid behavior or use the
Latte protocol to understand when they are in a Latte
containment.
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--in multiple layouts environment the user
may prefer different settings for its global
shortcuts, in some may wants to use global
shortcuts for its applets and in another
layout may not.
--v0.8 introduced unified global shortcuts for all
cases, that means that applets are also taken into
account for Latte activation/new instance global
shortcuts. A new parameter is introduced with
the patch at Latte global settings file called
"unifiedGlobalShortcuts", the user can set that
parameter to false before Latte startup in order
to use only global shortcuts relevant to the
Latte plasmoid.
--The Plasma layout is using the Latte plasmoid. By
following that case the neutral applets areas werent
activated. This is fixed now and also the click animation
in such cases.
--allow the applet developers to set at their
applet main file:
property bool disableLatteParabolicIcon: true
in order to disable any Latte functionality
concerning the parabolic icon
-- allow the applet developers to set at their
main file:
property bool isInLatte: false
in order to be informed by Latte when they are
in a Latte containment. For what ever purposes
the developers need to adjust to their plasmoid.
-- the mousearea used for the parabolic effect
can block some important signals to go to
underneath applets. We make sure that such
signals are not accepted, and as such are
forwarded to underlying applets.
--the directRenderDelayer is used during first
entering in order to delay the activation of
directRendering. The cons of previous fastEntering
implementation added the necessity for this
replacement.
--when the user has chosen to activate tasks
through mouse wheel and there are applets that
can be hovered, then for these applets the mouse
wheel can be also used to activate/deactivate them.
--previously directRender was activating also when
from the first entered element the mouse moved fast
enough to the second element. But this could happen
also accidentaly some times. This improvements indicates
also the mouse position in the second element to be
near the center of that element
--the new kde activeWindowControl becomes active
when is showing menus. That conflicts with Latte
internal heuristics in order to not show or show
dynamically panel shadows, active indicators etc.
--issue #852, when directRendering is activated
some of the tasks could be in restoreAnimation,
in such case they stop their animation are moved
to directRendering mode
--issue #852, improve how the two states of zoom-in
and directRendering are indetified and triggered.
The initialization of hovering indexes now is
trigerred only for window mouse out events.
--in order to go faster to directRenderMode in some
cases, the following criteria was added. If the zoomScale
of a task is greater than 1 and the mouse enters that task
then directRendering is enabled.
--try to give more interaction to the user. When an
applet is clicked at its hidden spacers or the space
reserved for its active indicator then Latte sends
a signal to expand it. Unfortunately I havent found
a way to active other applets in such case e.g. the
icon-only applets
--following issue from #730 more qml code
was found that wasnt releasing connect signals
properly. That could create crashes because
already deleted qml objects could receive such
signals. That was observed after qt>=5.9.2
--The internal separator can be hidden when it is
found at the edges of Tasks Plasmoid, it creates a
more pleasant result. If the user wants separators at
the edges can always use the Separator plasmoid from
audoban. This fix would fix also the overlap
of internal sepator with external applet separator.
--at all cases and not just those that
systray length is greater than the set applet size.
There were cases that the systray had very few
applets in it and thus is was animated
--we now support through our discovering mechanisms
a properly identification for kicker and simplemenu
applets. This way changing their icons work correctly
and of course the parabolic effect
--this fixes the Tasks plasmoid thickness and
improves a small breakage in the parabolic effect.
The Tasks thickness is going to maximum when there
is a hoveredInded in plasmoid or in containment.
--the previous fix, fixes also a small breakage in
the parabolic effect animation. The breakage was
appearing when going from
applet->applet separator->task and directRender is
enabled
--support properly applet separators. This is the
first part, in the future the margins for them
should be updated correctly and the edge cases,
for example when the applet separator is next to
tasks plasmoid
--the parabolicManager is informed about the applet
ids for hidden applets and separators. This way the
manager can process the signals for parabolic effect
much better and correctly
