--that option from Behavior page is now renamed and
also its behavior has been upgraded by enabling
three possible options:
1. Disabled always
2. Auto - which is enabled for Docks and disabled for Panels
3. Enabled always
--after view startup real floating panels that are hiding
their thickness because of maximized windows must reposition
themeselves in order to have a valid visual state
--inEditMode is now updated directly from
containment()->inUserConfiguring()
--add again hiding blockers when View gets
into edit mode. That was lost during last commits
because it was part of Visual qml code that
has been moved to another window.
--Can above Fullscreen windows under x11 ignore
GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS totally. Long story short
such docks can not have beautiful snapping from
kwin and as such the blur area should ignore the
headThicknessGap
BUG:422313
--implementation is much more concrete now and we
need to be 1px precise in order to provide good
snapping and dodge visibility modes correctly
--in upcoming commit the view is touched property
will mean without window is touching the view edge.
For view edges touching there will be a different
variable that can be used from containment and
applets.
--in older version screenEdgeMargin == -1 was meant
that the screenEdgeMargin was disabled but this does not
need to be passed to View any more because variable
screenEdgeMarginDisabled is now passed directly
--improve types and references and add types splitted
at better places. So now we have
- LatteCore.Types that are global for all components
- LatteTasks.Types that are private to tasks plasmoid
- LatteContainment.Types that are private to latte
containment
--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
--plasma durations can mess up the Latte animations
experience a lot. We now use our own set animations
durations which are independent of what the user
chose for plasma animations speed.
BUG:418883
--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
--the user can now choose for vertical views to
stick their edges at the top or bottom screen edge
and ignore any top or bottom views accordingly. These
options are available in the Transparent Settings
area for vertical views and in advanced settings
mode.
--improved settings for Floating windows in Behavior
tab and add a new option to hide ALL screen gaps meaning
both length screen and thickness screen gap when there
is a maximized window in the screen
BUG:415630
--Latte panels when they touch each other are informing
each other in order to provide consistent appearance. For
example the Unity mode where a top panel and a left panel
exist at the same time. In such case if the left panel is
INBUSY background state then the top panel is informed and
because inBusy state also. This way the top border of left dock
background does not look out of place. ON THE OTHER hand if
the left dock is hidden because the use has chosen auto-hide
visibility mode or any of the dodge(s) choices then the top
panel does not have to stay in isBusy state. The patch fixes
this by applying this behavior only when the left dock is shown
e.g. the mouse has entered the dock or the dodge mode is not
activated
BUG:415347
FIXED-IN:0.9.6
--the automatic item sizer algorithm now is present
in its own class/responsibility area. As a new
improvement/fix the new implementation provides also
a protector/tracker that when the current prediction
to grow has already be applied two steps back in
history then the growing is not applied. This way
endless loops with growings and shrinks are blocked.
BUG:414180
FIXED-IN:0.9.5
--when a vertical view is in busy state and is touching
also a horizontal view that is fully transparent in
SMART mode then the visual result is not that good.
In that case it is better to show the view background.
The horizontal view background in that case can provide
three different states:
a) if the panel style for popups is activated then the
horizontal view will follow the plasma original style
b) if NOT [a] and solid background for touching windows
is enabled then solid background will be offered
c) if NOT [a] and NOT [b] then the isBusy state
transparency will be offered
--trying to increase smartness for horizontal
and vertical views. In multiple layouts environment
a view can exist in cases that one or more of
the sided views that is touching it is NOT
transparent, it would be nice for those
cases the top or bottom view to LOSE also
its transparency in order to not look
inconsistent.
--absolute geometry is the published area that the
dock/panel occupies when it is shown. So it should
not change when the dock becomes hidden. This patch
fixes the case for the !compositing environment.
--add initialization of values for views
tracking hints when enabled becomes false
--add some debug messages to be used when
we want to test out things
