Latte Dock | Farewell...

 

 

Hello everyone,

 

Unfortunately I would like to inform kde community that I am stepping away from Latte development. No time,motivation or interest from my part is the main reason. I hope that this will give free space and air for new developers/maintainers to step in and move Latte forward.

 

I hoped that I would be able to release Latte v0.11 but unfortunately I can not. Releasing Latte v0.11 it would mean that someone would maintain it afterwards and that is no more the case. 

 

For the last 6 years developing Latte was a beautiful journey and taught me plenty new things. I would like to thank you all for that beautiful journey, kde community members, users, developers, enthusiasts and plasma developers.

 

Have fun and enjoy life...

 

 

KWin 5.25 | Korners Fix

Hello everyone,

this is a heads up for designers to update their KDE decorations if they want to support Blur for any of their decorations since Plasma 5.25. Let me explain you what has changed and what you need to update.

• Blur for ALL decorations is disabled in KWin 5.25 and that fixes korners bug for all solid decorations without requiring any further actions from them.
  
• C++ decorations that would like to enable blur for them they need to use KDecoration2::Decoration::blurRegions API that has been introduced.
• Aurorae decorations that are solid they do not need to update anything in their regard.
  
• Aurorae decorations that would like to enable blur they need to add a "mask" element inside their decoration.svg file. The "mask" element should have the same padding used for active and inactive decorations. Following screenshot demonstrates such "mask" element and you can also use a demonstration theme.

Hello everyone,

This is a long awaited feature for multi-screens users. In Latte upcoming v0.11 users can now choose their docks and panels to be on all screens or on all secondary screens. Docks and panels will be up to date in such case and it is also easier for users to make changes to them and use them in general.
