Fixes:
- Improve dynamic background animated transitions (kde#414174) [Adrien Brunelat]
- fix endless growing/shrinking for items size by introducing an AutomaticItemSizer class that is tracking the algorithm predictions and results in order to identify the issue/case (kde#414180)
- improve paddings and margins for applets that are touching the screen edge and at the same time follow Fitt's Law
- remove workarounds for margins and paddings for plasma systray (kde#414104)
- don't crash when changing layouts by unloading Latte::View(s) first and their Plasma::Containment(s) afterwards (kde#412864)
- don't drag/maximize windows from different virtual desktops than the current one (kde#414089)
- fixes for dynamic background: force transparency codepath (kde#414071)
- ignore plasma panels for Latte heuristics. Any plasma window touching the screen edge and having thickness <=96px is considered a plasma panel.
- update application data after 1500ms after their first fetching to catch up with some applications that are changing them with delay such as libreoffice (kde#413671)
- remove some deprecated code for qt>=5.14
- drop ksysguard dependency with kde frameworks >=5.62
HowTo Make Latte Panels and Dektop Icons to Not Ovelap?
Since Latte started as project three years ago there was a big annoyance for plasma users; desktop icons and plasma dialogs such as Widgets Explorer can overlap in many cases. The reason why this is not easily fixable is because currently there is no way to inform Plasma about external docks and panels geometries. An initial discussion about this can be found at https://phabricator.kde.org/T10172 . As I dont have the time to play with this, a workaround exists now that can help you make your life a bit easier if you find it annoying. You will need Latte >= 0.9.5 and a new plasma widget I created called Panel Transparency Button. A small demonstration follows:
