Projects/Plasma/4.0.2 Backporting Session

From KDE TechBase

Changes to consider

  • toolbox improvements (including the "new" animation introduced post 4.0)
    • 758309 Change in phase for a better timing of the toolbox
    • 758486 remove unneeded members and some other optimizations

758415 and 758498 If 758415 never got backported (it does not seem) 758498 is useless

    • 758535 don't jitter when moving between buttons
    • 758449 toolbox's icon "fades" to gray when expanding
    • 758450 avoid placing the items over the icon
    • 758452 Removed hardcoded color value
    • 758615 Change animation timings back to match moveItem()
    • 759555 nice solution for no flicker
    • 761575 make the colorization effect more noticeable
    • 762713 Get rid of the (now useless) warning
    • 764361 open toolbox when the dashboard view starts(touches also containment and dashboard)
    • 764408 move the hideToolBox call to the right location
    • 768453 hide items that are disabled while they are shown enforce a 100ms delay
    • 774333 put setZValue very high
  • panel config (size/span/location, adding/removing of panels)
  • systray (if it's not already)
  • taskbar improvements
  • color scheme fixes
  • icon alignment algorithms
    • all changes made to iconloader.cpp/h through 764407
  • drag&drop panel-desktop in both directions, with visual feedback
    • r770333, desktop->panel
  • being able to move applets (like somewhere added apps) on the panel
  • Phase: numerous changes, all work in trunk/ should probably just be backported completely; fixes various crashes
  • miscellaneous
    • r775266: proper drop behaviour and memory leak fixes for Icon applet
    • r773932 (Fix crash on closing applets) and r773933 (Fix broken usage of Plasma::Phase)
