The decoration button configuration interface is merged into the QML
part using two list views (left buttons, right buttons) and a grid
view for all the available buttons.
This brings back the configuration for decoration plugins. As a change
to the old variant the configure button is moved into the list view
together with the preview. It is enabled/disabled depending on data
provided by the DecorationModel. For a plugin the DecorationModel
queries for a boolean "kcmodule" key in the metadata. For a theme it
invokes the slot hasConfiguration with the theme name which returns
whether the theme provides configuration.
The actual opening of the configuration is triggered from the
PreviewBridge, which uses the existing KPluginFactory to load the
KCModule. The decoration plugin must provide the keyword "kcmodule"
for it.
So far Aurorae is adjusted and provides configuration for the Plastik
decoration. The interaction with the configuration module works, but
the configuration itself for Plastik seems to be currently broken.
KNewStuff is no longer hard-coded to Aurorae themes. Instead the
availability of KNewStuff is derived from the available plugin
metadata. If the section org.kde.kdecoration2 contains a key
"KNewStuff" it's value is interpreted as the knsrc config file name.
If there is at least one plugin with such a key KNS gets enabled.
If there are multiple plugins providing KNS support the download
button is turned into a button with a connected menu and each menu
entry points to one of the available resources. Of course this is
not optimal, but KNS doesn't allow the combining of multiple config
files.
* Border Sizes
* Close menu double click
Both are added to the Settings and exposed in the decoration kcm.
As it started to no longer scale the kcm uses a ui file.
Still missing:
* buttons
* custom decoration configuration
* GHNS
* search
Adjust all components to use the QSharedPointer. Aurorae obviously has
to create a QSharedPointer, Shadow holds a QSharedPointer for the
DecorationShadow (advantage: is kept when the Decoration is destroyed),
and the KCM needs to add a property on PreviewItem to get access to the
Shadow. It's no longer a Q_PROPERTY on Decoration and we cannot re-add
it as a dynamic property (cannot be read from QML side).
Following features are supported:
* finds all plugins
** finds all themes for a theme-engine plugin
* renders previews for the plugin/themes
* loads currently used plugin/theme
* saves selected plugin/theme
* triggers config reload in KWin
Following features are currently not supported:
* Search
* Plugin configuration
* GHNS
* Button configuration
Qml based Aurorae themes can provided a ui file which gets loaded at
runtime. Obviously such a ui file is not translated. This introduces
quite a hack to load the translated strings.
First of all a new property is added to the service file for
specifying the translation domain to be used for the config UI. If
such a translation domain is set we extract all string properties of
the loaded UI and pass them through ki18nd.
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

* A KDecoration needs to include json metadata
* A KDecoration needs to be installed to kwin/kdecorations
* Aurorae and Oxygen adjusted
* kcmdeco locates all decorations through the KPluginTrader
* libkdecoration uses KPluginTrader to find the plugin
* config plugins also need to include json metadata with
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name being the same as the decoration
* config plugins need to get installed to kwin/kdecorations/config
* kcmdeco locates the config plugin for a deco through the name
and KPluginTrader

The option changes the behavior of the menu button, thus we should point
out to the user that the behavior changes.
This is only done for Auroae configurations as other decorations have to
take care about it themselves.

To increase consistency with other decorations and because it changes
the behavior of the menu button in an unexpected way we default to
double click menu button doesn't close the window.

In KCommonDecoration the OnAllDesktops button gets hidden or shown
depending on the number of desktops. For that KDecoration is extended
by a new property which delegates to the bridge to return whether
onAllDesktops is available. In KWin Core this is implemented using
the number of desktops.

This simplifies the plugin loading. Decorations just have to use
K_PLUGIN_FACTORY to specify how the KDecorationFactory needs to be
created. The KWIN_DECORATION macro is adjusted to generate the
boiler plate code, but it now needs to specify the name for the
pluginfactory and the KDecorationFactory.
This also transits the decoration abi version check to use
K_EXPORT_PLUGIN_VERSION which also simplifies the loading.
As a result the complete canLoad handling in DecorationPlugins is
removed.
