--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
--update implementation to use "root.location"
instead of root.position
--update implementation to use "root.alignment"
instead of root.userPanelPosition
--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
--a new Wheel action is introduced to Tasks and
the user can now choose to disable wheel actions
only for tasks OR cycle through grouped tasks OR
upwards cycles trhough grouped tasks and downwards
minimizes them.
BUG:416096
--requesting from users a different way to remove
the Latte Tasks plasmoid if they want to is not
a good hig. Reenabling the classic ways to remove
Latte Tasks. The user can now use the applet tooltip
to remove it or by right clicking it in Latte
edit mode. Because of this the Tasks->Recycling
button is not needed any more.
BUG:415274
--screenEdgeMarginEnabled value is not really needed
to applets and indicators. Only the margin value
applied is of importance in order to place themselves
properly.
--use screenEdgeMargin in order to support more border
styles for custom background component that paints
the underneath panel background for smart coloring.
--this way in multiple layouts mode when switching
different layouts the tasks/launchers are sliding in/out
only when we switch between different activities in
the same layout and NOT when switching between different
activities in different layouts
--when qml uses software rendering checks should be
added in order to not hide the visual elements. This
is taking place now in a more concrete way and checked
also that tasks with badges or not are still shown
BUG:411037
FIXED-IN:0.9.2
--the user can now choose to enable or NOT 3D
style for all badges through Latte Global Preferences
window. By default the Flat style is preferred
BUG: 409467
--The user from Tasks,Badges can choose a more prominent
color for notification badges (usually reddish). In case
the user has not enabled that option(default) then the plasma
theme highlight color is used which is also the default
option of Latte v0.8
BUG: 408955
--the user can now adjust the Scrolling options
for its Tasks when the items overflow. The following
are provided:
Scrolling: ENABLE/DISABLE
--Manual Scrolling: DISABLE/PARALLEL/HORIZONTALANDVERTICAL
--Auto Scrolling: ENABLE/DISABLE
BUG: 407779
--when dragging a new applet over the view
the responsiveness is now improved vastly
--the new architecture uses two different
DragAndDropAreas. One which is the old one
and is used when dragged launchers, urls and
separators. The second is used only when
applets are dragged into the view
--the visuals for adding launchers/applets have
been improved and a circular visual is preferred
now instead
--previous code was creating an endless loop during
launchers syncing when there were windows between
the launchers.
example to reproduce: add a Discover launcer and
at the previous indexes there should be some
launchers that have open windows but their launcher
is assigned to different activity. Drag afterwards
the Discover launcher to first indexes e.g. 0,1
--plasmoid.screenGeometry is costly under Latte environment
because it supports multple layouts in multiple activities.
By using the View::screenGeometry the calls are minimized
almost totally.
--info badges updated their colors in order to attract
more attention on them. Most themes etc. use for their
negativeTextColor a reddish color so that is a good
match for this.
Summary:
This fixes a problem where window thumbnails are no longer visible since KDE Frameworks 5.55. This is caused by https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-framework.git/commit/?id=b257029afc3bfcd6366d2c2b910b8d91403ab8a which no longer automatically updates the visibility of mainItem of PlasmaCore.Dialog.
BUG: 404234
Test Plan: Ensure window thumbnails are working correctly now

--the luminas functions didnt work well
for all cases. Latte is now using brightness
functions as described at:
https://www.w3.org/TR/AERT/#color-contrast
this patch fixes all cases mentioned in the bug
that Latte contrast identification did not work well
BUG: 402115
--moving a task now is not synced immediately to
other docks. Syncing takes place only in the end.
The dock in which the user changed the launchers
order sends a signal to other docks to update
theirs launchers order.
BUG: 401232
--dropped paths/urls on launchers of Global or
Layout launchers group did not open because the
synced infrastructure was breaking the QJsonArray
in that case.

-- there are cases that hiding previews too early
can create crashes under wayland. Such a case is
when the user uses the touchpad to emulate a right-click
event to create a context menu for specific task

FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--previews showed some strange behavior by
re-introducing faulty or empty previews under
X11. Best way to approach this is to follow up
plasma design idea in order for the code to be
comparable. The code was updated and the introduced
issue shows to be fixed but this wants users
feedback.

FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--with this commit now Latte is able to identify what are
the global shortcuts used for each activation entry and
also to not show at all any badge for activation entries
that are disabled from the user
BUG: 397128
Clicking a task group shows a tooltip with list of tasks. This tooltip
cannot be controlled by keyboard and it will stay open unless mouse is
used.
This patch changes the behavior so that when a global shortcut activates
a task group (usually Win+1, Win+2 etc.) a next task in the group is
activated without showing a tooltip.
During dock sliding-in because the parabolic
effect isnt trigerred immediately but we wait
first the dock to go to its final normal
place we might miss the activation of the
parabolic effect. By catching that signal
we are trying to solve this.
-- disable the use of PlasmaCore.WindowThumbnail
under Wayland in order to fix a crash that was
appearing after a while when the user was using
previews
BUG: 392865
-- when removing a task and there are surrounding
separators then the hidden spacers are updated
immediately for the neighbour tasks. In such case
in order to not break the removal animation a small
margin must applied.
--the old architecture that was trying to keep
an internal separators record couldnt catch up
and at the same time could create issues with
internal separators at different activities.
--when only launchers are shown and the user
has chosen to disable any active indicator
then the plasmoid should behave only as
a smart launchers list with no window
capabilities
--when the plasmoid is hovered when the
applets hoveredIndex should be initialized
and when an applet is hovered then the plamoids
hoveredIndex should be initialized to -1.
--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.
--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
--window previews were lowered in order to touch
the task for which are presenting issues. This way
the mouse confirms alway the taskContainsMouse flag
--title tooltips are shown only when the dock has
ended its sliding-in animations
--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.
--there were cases that window previews/tasks context menu/
title tooltips were shown at the same time. This patch fixes this
by adding timers to catch these case and show the above on
priority. The priority used is tasks context menu/window
previews/title tooltips
--the user now can add an internal separator and set
its position also by taking into account in which task
the context menu is shown
--the user now can remove any internal separator wants to
by showing its context menu options in editMode
--the internalSeparatorPos approach was removed
from the plasmoid. The next steps are:
1. ParabolicManagers to update their logic in order
to take into account multiple internal separators
2. To hide all consequent separators either as applets
all internal separators
--make the single separator old architecture to
work correctly with the new multiple internal
separators architecture. Many things need to be
updated in order for this to work but lets make
one step at a time.
--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
--a faulty check was using backgroundColor instead of
textColor for badges shown from global shortcuts indicators
--improve badges to understand the new url form of
plasma 5.11 launchers
--when a launcher belonged at all activities and
the user was pinning at an another explicit activity
that wasnt the current one the removal animation
wasnt played correctly
--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.
