The app name in the header has poor text contrast because it is 40%
transparent and sits on a gray background. It is also using a
semantically incorrect UI component (DescriptiveLabel) which was meant
for de-emphasized subtitles, not titles. The correct component for that
is a Heading, so let's use that.
Because this means that we will hve two identically-sized headings in
close proximity, we need to distinguish the text for the notification
title without making it huge, which is overkill for a notification. To
accomplish this, this MR uses the Heading's "Primary" type which was
made for this purpose.
We ported units to use the PlasmaCore.Units singleton earlier; now it's
time to do the same thing for PlasmaCore.Theme.
There are no UI changes or regressions detected.
The context property version is slower to access and won't be supported
in Qt6. Let's port away from it and use the singleton version instead.
Here was my full process for making this change:
1. Made the change with `find . -name '*.qml' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/units\./PlasmaCore\.Units\./g'`
2. Verified no more occurrences with `grep -r " units."`
3. Made sure this didn't change any comments in a silly way by inspecting the output of `git diff | grep "+ " | grep "//"`
4. Manually inspected the full git diff to make sure there were no other unintentional or silly changes (there were none)
5. verified that all changed files have the PlasmaCore import with the correct name with `for FILE in `git status | grep modified | cut -d ":" -f 3`; do grep -q "as PlasmaCore" $FILE || echo "$FILE needs the PlasmaCore import"; done`
Qt 5.15 introduced new syntax for defining Connections. Fix warnings like this one:
QML Connections: Implicitly defined onFoo properties in Connections are deprecated. Use this syntax instead: function onFoo(<arguments>) { ... }
The previous calculation multiplied the DPR by `units.smallSpacing`, which was not correct; we wanted DPR added to the existing margin, not multiplied by it.
Also using Math.floor is safer since Math.round sometimes rounds up (e.g. in case DPR is 2.501) which can cause undesirable effects.

This begins the process of porting plasma-workspace to PlasmaComponents3. At
this point, only the relatively easy work is done. Every file not ported
now has been given the reason for still using PC2 in a comment on the import
line so you can see at a glance what the blocker is by running
`grep -r "org.kde.plasma.components 2.0"` in the repo.
Everything is tested and there are no breakages or functional regressions. In
the process, a few unused imports are removed.
Here are the remaining PC3 omissions blocking what's left from getting easily
ported:
- No Highlight
- No ListItem
- No PageStack
- No ContextMenu
- No QueryDialog
- No ModelContextMenu
- TabBar has no left and right tab states
- ToolButton has no built-in method to show a menu when clicked
Instead of using highlight as background and painting over that with a
transparent colour, make the chart empty out but flip it so the
direction is the same. This removes any aliasing artifacts that occur
due to antialiasing.
BUG: 423079
Summary:
Both the popup header size as well as units.smallMargin depend on font
size. This causes problems with the new circular timeout indicator.
Rather than trying to somehow fix the margins, this patch changes things
to use units.iconSizes.smallMedium as close button icon size instead,
stopping it from relying on font size and hopefully fixing any layout
issues.
Test Plan: Change font size to 10/11/12 pt. Icon size remains the same.

Summary:
This uses the new KQuickCharts framework to render the notification timeout bar as a small
circular progress bar, around the close button.

Test Plan:
notify-send -t 15000 test will first show a notification with no indicator, then once the
timeout gets to 10s or less it will show a decreasing circular progress bar.

Usually it's not very long, so in the common case of just an application name, it won't be truncated anyway.
But in case an origin is set, it might be. In this case, we want to make sure the end of the origin is shown, in case it is for identifying a website domain.

The popup is a pure QML singleton and as such doesn't inherit the i18n context from the applet. Use i18nd explicitly.

This makes it a bit more generic. Advertise that this may also be used to indicate what email account a notification came from.

* Make dataengines work fully standalone
* Fix panel icon sizing
There's still an issue with the popup size when resizing the vertical panel smaller so it collapses
* Implement keyboard navigation for the list with focus hacks...
Delete key closes notifications or groups, Arrow left/right expand/collapse groups, Enter invokes default action, if any
* Fix DND times that are supposed to be hidden showing
ModelContextMenu doesn't respect "visible" property
* Move "Notifications" header to ListView header so it scrolls away and leaves more room for the notifications in systray popup
* Fix finished jobs in history showing as failed when app is closed
* Don't remember apps that spawned jobs, only for notifications
* Use CriticalNotification window type (patches pending)
* Ship some more default rules in plasmanotifyrc
* Improved do not disturb menu (add "for 4 hours" and "until disabled")
* Expand unread notifications by default, overall improved expansion/collapse handling
* Show unread count in panel and reset when plasmoid is closed again
* Move notification sanitizer and its test from dataengine to lib
* Load pixmaps into model also for files and limit their physical size
* Enforce maximum limit for notifications (1000...)
- Rename some of the classes:
NotificationServer -> Server (there's namespaces, you know)
NotificationModel -> NotificationsModel (so it's plural like JobsModel)
- Introduce NotificationGroupingCollapse
- Wire up PulseAudio-qt for eventual notification silence in dnd mode
- Touch up notification looks
- Add indentation and "line" for grouped plasmoids
- Rethink "show more" button to be at the end
- Fix buttons overlapping
- Remove NotificationDelegate item and do those few adjustments in FullRepresentation
- Cleanup job details, handle when processed > total
- Use States {} more
- Show low urgency popups by default but don't add them to history
- Rework compact representation animations a bit
For some reason they often got stuck
- Implement do not disturb mode for applications
- Add fallback timeout to ensure notifications eventually timeout
Otherwise when disabling dnd mode you will get spammed
and we would also keep apps running indefinitely waiting for the notification to close
- Install plasmanotifyrc with some sane defaults
So far only lets Spectacle show its screenshot notifications in dnd mode
- Introduce Closable role rather than hardcoding that behavior everywhere in the view
- Better app identification/grouping for jobs
- Be more lenient about app identification (firefox will match Firefox, too)
- Cleanups
- Add basic do not disturb mode
Can set a time until it enabled, persisted across reboots
Whitelist for apps missing right not
Inhibition API not wired up yet
- d-pointer JobDetails
- Use KFilePlacesModel for prettier destUrl reporting "Copying to Home"
- Expose default action in history as button
- Improved right-to-left language support
- Let NotificationServer just lurk (without registering a service)
- Catch when plasmoid is deleted and stick to another one
Our dear friend Notification plasmoid has slipped the surly bonds of Earth
to touch the face of eternal preservation in Git history. It leaves a huge
emptiness in the hearts of all of us who loved it, many who here its friends.
Originally concveived in 2011 as a "New QML based notifications plasmoid
for mobile", it quickly outgrew its creator's vision and became a vital
component of the Plasma Desktop. When the new kid on the block arrived in
the form of Plasma 5, it showed its willpower to survive this stark transition
and served us for another half a decade. It taught us to seize every
opportunity to increase productivity and improve user experience,
yet it became evident that it reached its limits and so on April Fools' Day 2019
its heart beat for the last time.
Farewell!
- Improve compact reprsentation
- Keep popup open during interaction (context menu, drag)
- Improve "ago" label (e.g. show "Last Sunday")
- Improve group visuals (still pretty much WIP)
- Hide popups when interacted (opened file, triggered file action, etc)
Closing when having invoked an action isn't implemented yet but is probably neccessary
- Make autohide job popup setting work
- Set critical AlwaysOnTop (requires KWin patch)
- Improve error handling in ThumbnailStrip
Show file icon if thumbnail generation failed instead of a blank space
- Add heuristic for popup placement and make custom setting work
- Add deviceName and displayApplicationName (for KDE Connect)
So it can show from which device and which app this notification originally came from
- Improved service discovery (and defaultComponent handling)
Quite a few notifications, e.g. DrKonqi crashes are in plasma_workspace.notifyrc
When we get an event like this, show the original app instead
- Make blacklist for popup and history work
- Add "lastRead" property for "unread" handling vs "expired" (latter likely to be dropped)
- Add sortMode so history is strictly sorted by date (it's grouped after all)
- Begin work on do not disturb UI in plasmoid
- Cleanup, pimpl NotificationServer and Notification for export
- Wire the old dataengine up to use it for compat:
it shows notifications but is otherwise pretty broken right now
- Start writing kconfigxt and Settings code (no real code yet)
- Add a Inhibition DBus interface (no actual server-side code yet)
- Group notifications by application
Pretty much tasks grouping model from libtaskmanager slightly adjusted
- Let widget take full height when expanded in vertical panel "side bar usecase"
- Fix bugs here and there
- Notification action buttons
- Custom icon pixmaps in notifications
- Popup handling
- Notification urgency (low isn't shown as popup TBD, critical always no matter what)
- History stuff (only expired notifications end up there, none that were closed or revoked)
- Text selection and copy for body text
- Basic tray icon support
and many other things
Application jobs are shown as part of regular notifications:
- They show up as little popup that can be hidden in the history
- When finished progress popup turns into a notification
There's still some glitches and missing features, notably
- Screenshot thumbnails
- "Open" functionality for finished jobs
- History layout
- code cleanup
- and basically every configuration option
libnotificationmanager provides a proper notification model situation similar
to libtaskmanager. There is also a new notification applet implementing the
suggestions and VDG mockups in the wiki
NOTE: the notification dataengine is defunct in this branch, so while the applet
(for now) installs as "new notifications", the old applet will stop working when
you use this. The dataengine will eventually be restored (famous last words)
for compatibility but using the NotificationServer singleton introduced in
libnotificationmanager.
The applet can show notifications, they expire, can be closed, and their
default action invoked. Still heavily WIP and API subject to change.
