This patch applies a common language and type-setting to the
systemsettings modules in kwin.
Considerations:
- The comment field might repeat the name, or give more detail about the
specific settings on this page, this makes sense with how
systemsettings and kcmshell present it
- Mentioning the words settings, configure, options, etc. is avoided --
it is clear from the context that these are settings and options.
- Title-case throughout in line with human interface guidelines, see
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Capitalization
- The comment ends up being the title, so the
- tech slang is avoided as much as possible, but left in where really
necessary
- I've left the Name field "mostly untouched", as that one is key for
the user to find the right module in systemsettings' icon view and in
the sidebars
The most prominent change is "Compositor" to "Graphics Compositor" (in
the Title field). This is more like a "suggestion", if you don't like
it, I'll take it out again. Reasoning: "Compositor" is a very technical
term, people who know graphics might recognize it. Others might not
understand that "composite" is about graphics -- hence the
specialization. Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting

This removes all the hacks to add kwin4_effect_ to the name of the Effect
and adjusts the desktop files of the effect configuration's parent
component.
Note: the scripted effects still start with kwin4_effect_ prefix.

Instead of using the KServiceTypeTrader we use the BuiltInEffects to get
the name of CoverSwitch and FlipSwitch.
Showing the configuration dialog is migrated to KPluginTrader which fixes
the showing of the dialog.
This was missing from what is available in KWin core. The brightness and
saturation are implemented using a custom shader which uses the same
logic as what we use in the scene shader.
We are only rendering an image, so it's better to load the image into a
texture. This allows to properly scale the example preview which
magically fixes all the layouting problems which used to be there.
Needs to implement a dummy switcher item. As the root item of the
switchers are no longer QQuickItem derived it cannot use a QQuickView.
Instead a component gets created and the switcher is just shown on the
primary screen. It's a more appropriate preview now which is not
put into a dialog window.
To make it more realistic (and to be able to dismiss it) the preview
grabs keyboard and mouse and closes itself if escape, return, enter or
space is pressed.
As well clicking outside the preview window closes the preview.
It's basically a run of the port-cmake.sh script in here, mostly the changes
are the following:
- Using KF5::* targets
- Using the proper macros, following recent developments in frameworks
It's an option doing pretty much the same as the highlight of selected
window option. But it is known to conflict especially with some Plasma
themes.

Since the QML port the LayoutMode had been hardcoded to vertical
layout making it a completely useless code-path.
MinWidth/Height are nowadays completely controlled by the QML
theme. They were not read anywhere except in the kcm, but there
not even bound to a ui element.
The selectedItemLayoutName is also not used anymore with the
new themes.
Next to the preview/configure button a GHNS button is included
as a simple button with icon only to not break the layout.
Currently the button is not shown as the category on kde-look
has not yet been created yet.

Additional TabBox Mode which allows to switch between all open
windows of the current selected application. By default Alt+tilde
is used which is on qwerty just one key above tab. For non-qwerty
layouts the shortcut is unfortunately not convenient.

connecting to a kwindowsystem signal that causes instantiation of
kwindowsystemprivate breaks window focus.
this match makes it use internal kwin signals to track the embedding window geometry

Window Strip is only for Plasma Active, so we don't want to see
it in the UI for Window Switcher Layouts as it would not properly
work on the desktop anyway.
Accomplished by a simple property definition on the service file.
A new service type is introduced which is used by the KCM to find
all available window switcher layouts. This makes it finally possible
to have 3rd party window switchers.
Also the tabbox finds the packaged QML file through the service
definitions.
Desktop switcher is not yet in packaged version (UI to configure
is missing).

This allows to select whether TabBox should exclude minimized windows,
or only show minimized windows or just don't care about minimized windows.
This is the default and the behavior as it used to be.

This includes the delegates, the layout configuration for the delegates
and the custom view for the TabBox.
This can now finally be done as desktop tabbox is based on QML, too.
Replaced by a TabBox layout. The effect is still there as it
can be used for desktop switching (which is not yet ported to layouts)
and as a proxy effect for CoverSwitch.
The users who use BoxSwitch will be migrated to the new layout.
A new QML item "ThumbnailItem" is registered to the TabBox. The
C++ implementation finds the EffectWindow of the TabBox and adds
itself to the EffectWindow.
While rendering the EffectWindow the information for all registered
ThumbnailItems are extracted and the thumbnail is rendered on top
of the EffectWindow.
This has obvious limitations like you cannot put other QML items
on top of the thumbnail. Nevertheless it works well enough to
be a possible replacement for e.g. BoxSwitch effect.
When compositing is disabled an icon is rendered instead of the
Thumbnail.
One TabBox Layout inspired by BoxSwitch Effect is added. For the
KCM small pre-rendered items are used.

All the default layouts (informative, compact, text, small and big icons)
are rewritten in QML and replace the ListView used before. The old code
is still around for the desktop switching modes which are not yet ported.
Next steps include to update the configuration module to not show now
obsoleted settings as well as providing a better way to choose the layout.
