--fix wrong placement at multi-screen environment
during startup. freeEdges function was not sufficient for
reconsiderScreen() because there was a chance to
exclude edges that even though they were available
it returned fault results. Such case is when
a view request available edges for specific screen
and the edge of that specific view is also exluded
because that view has not finished its movement
to the new assigned screen.
--fix re-adding an explicit dock when its screen
is activated. A check was missing in order to
confirm that a primary dock is occuping that
edge but we must check also that the primary
screen is the same with the explicit one.
--add/improve debug messages

--dont call costly syncGeometry when drawShadows
externally is called. In such case only updating
shadows/borders is needed.
(cherry picked from commit be7bbfe848)
--try to make screens assignment and window geometry
more consistent. There are three variables in a dock
window for its screen and positioning to be accurate,
screen(), m_screenToFollow, m_screenToFollowId

--multi-screen fix for explicit docks. There were
cases that explicit docks during startup were
moving to onprimary screen even though they shouldnt
based on the new multi-screens implementation.
Bug was tracked down at a faulty series of signals
that were overwriting dockView config values
to default values and that was creating the fault.
-- one more fix for multi-screens, a missing return
statement in case an explicit dock is called and its
edge at that specific screen is occuppied by an
onPrimary one.

When there was only one latte dock and the last
active window was closed, the dock wasnt showing
afterwards. The dodge logic now has been improved
in order to not lose any window manager signals
that could help indicate when to show/hide a
dodge capable dock

--there are cases that the window manager doesnt
return any active window at all. In such cases
we can assume that our docks/panels dont have to
be hidden.

when the plasma theme was not supporting shadows then
Latte was double drawing the panel background when
the user has chosen that wanted shadows

(cherry picked from commit 87094a6fe7)
--Latte will no longer try to be too smart concerning
the multi-screens behavior. At the old implementation
Latte wouldnt let you reach at a state that you dont
have a tasks plasmoid available. Such a case could be
when the user moves a dock from primary to explicit
screen and disables the screen afterwards. That case
should be thought better in the future in order to be
identified and handled properly without making the
code unnecessary complex. Such an example could be by
identifing the case and asking the user for actions.
(cherry picked from commit b2f1f98b57)
--there are cases that the window geometry isnt consistent
for maximized windows. That was breaking the previous
implementation of dynamic background because of:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397700
the new implementation is using only the window center in
order to identify the screen in which a window is
present

--the background contrast effect should be applied
only when the dock/panel is visually solid otherwise
it may block the transparency settings
BUG: 397431
FIXED-IN: v0.8.1
(cherry picked from commit 78b41eff91)
--the old code wasnt screen independent for identifying
windows that touch the panel edge. There were cases
that when a window was touching a panel edge at
screen A to faulty identify that is touching
screen B also. The code now is more robust and it
can also handle cases that window is touching two or
more different panels in different screens.

(cherry picked from commit 7bceb7e4b7)
--after v0.8 release many issues with multi-architecture
were identified. An alternative approach was needed
in order for Latte to get a more user-predictable state.
In new approach:
--onPrimary docks have always higher value
and should be shown, this is also like how plasma is
moving its panels.
--explicit docks are removed if their edge in their screen
is occupied by an onPrimary dock
--be stupid smart in order to check if docks contain
tasks and try to not remove them based on screen-changes
is removed! Over-Complicated code that doesnt help
in maintainability...
one of the issues was reported at following bug report...
BUG: 396806
FIXED-IN: 0.8.1
--blur effect is costly this way we limit effects area
to respect the windows boundaries and at cases that
the QRegion returns too main QRects to just use the main
effects rectangle
--this fix possibly fixes the crash related to Blur effect and
moving the dock to another edge bug:396040
--when recreating the dock/panel because of
visibility mode changes sometimes there was
a crash because of the timers for the workaround
of isVisible() changes
-- under X11 it was identified that windows
many times especially under screen changes
dont end up at the correct position and size.
This vailidator(timer) will enforce repositionings
and resizes every 500ms if the window hasnt end up
to correct values and until this is achieved.
--because focus is lost from dock tooltips the
dock settings window was closing. We take into
account that case in order to not close the
dock settings window in such case
--different hardware can have different delays
in order to inform for screen changes. The tracker
(an internal timer that is) informs Latte after
a specific interval in order to track these changes
and respond accordingly.
--by default now Latte supports the KWin Edges mechanism,
this way the following issues are fixed:
fix#935, fix#721, fix#687, fix#512, fix#514
--improve dock behavior when the user user touch
gestures
--fix #144, support KWin bright placeholders
--this behavior can be disabled if the user prefers
the old one from the Tweaks page
--in !compositing no more is shown a 1px line at
the screen edge when the dock is hidden
--support KWin Edges in Multiple Layouts state under
X11
--recreateDock is used when the visibility mode
changes and as such the window must be recreated
in order to work correctly. Any remaining code
found for such function in corona and layoutManager
is removed.
--exhausted to discuss this so often so in the
end it may be my perspective wrong. Quit button
in dock settings window changed to Close button
and the Quit option moved to menu bar of the
general Latte settings window with shortcut
Ctrl+Q
--the check in order to identify if a maximized window
overlaps with the dock wasnt always been executed. That
was the case for multi-screens environments.
--enhanche the dynamic background feature and
in ordre to improve contrast with the underlying
background Latte now calculates the luminosity of the area
underneath the panel and based on that chooses the
best color to create contrast. The colors are chosen
only between textColor and backgroundColor.
--the wayland interface couldnt orchestrate correctly
with the corona and the application exit. The whole
architecture changed and the window manager now is
provided by corona and corona is also responsible to
keep only one instance of it and close on exit.
