--the new approach is much more memory efficient
as the same indicator config ui is used for ALL
views and anything related to config uis is now
handled by the manager instead of each diffent
view on its own
--curent view indicator config ui is not deleted
when the PrimaryConfigView changes its parent view.
For each view there is one indicator config ui
that is kept available to be shown when appropriate.
This way we avoid unnecessary recreations of indicator
config uis when the user cycles between different views
settings.
--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.
--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
--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
--this indicator is used only internally from Latte
in order to draw default plasma applets tab style
indicators when the user has chosen to not draw
latte specific indicators. A good example of its
usage is when the plasma theme contains tabbar
indicator which is used in applets and the Latte
overlayed icon applets need to use the same visual
with the regular plasma applets.
--enabledForApplets and lengthPadding for indicators
has now moved to indicators responsibility to handle
--as a consequence usesPlasmaStyle has been removed
from indicators API. The corner cases that indicators
conflict with plasma theme applets should be handled
differently and in a different way
--indicators are now tracked only based on their
installation path, that means that are updated
more precise when changes are applied and
at the same time views are recreated only when
the show the specific indicator that was changed
--fixes to signals in ViewParts in order to avoid
crashes. Currently the recreateView approach is used
in order to reload indicators runtime dynamically.
The "View::setSource" approach does not reload the
indicators properly
