      Remove separator on the left-hand side of the clock · 0f4465a3
      Jakko authored
      This separator was introduced to better distinguish the numbers of the
      battery percentage and the clock. As the "power-manager" plugin was moved
      left of the "pulseaudio" plugin, this separator isn't needed anymore.
      
      The clock becomes "plugin-8" now. The plugin ID numbers of the lower panel
      weren't changed to avoid upgrade issues with the launchers placed there,
      as they additionally have local data stored in ~/.config/xfce4/panel.

      Increase font size of the clock · a23ca03f
      Jakko authored
      The previous font size of 8 is hardly readable on the growing number of
      high-resolution screens. Therefore increasing it, but not too large, still
      considering the limited space of older low-resolution screen devices.
      
      Additionally, replace the "digital-format" string setting by the "digital-layout"
      type setting. The result is the same but it's more fail-safe for future Xfce
      updates.

      Change order of panel plugins "pulseaudio" and "power-manager" · 0a2be109
      Jakko authored
      The "power-manager" shows battery percentage. Those numbers are close to
      the clock, which needs a close look to distinguish the numbers. Moving the
      "power-manager" plugin left of the "pulseaudio" plugin slightly disturbs
      the harmony of having all numbers at the right-hand side but separating them
      increases readability.
      
      Now "power-manager" becomes "plugin-6" and "pulseaudio" becomes "plugin-7".

      Increase icon size of status tray in panel · 77737ad5
      Jakko authored
      The icons of the status tray plugin were rather small and arranged in two
      rows. This was due to the upper panel being quite crowded and increasing
      their size causes difficulties on devices with small screen. On the other
      hand, more and more touchscreen devices with high resolution show up in
      postmarketOS, where it hardly possible to hit the tiny icons.
      
      Being able to hit the "onboard" icon is crucial for touchscreen usage because
      this calls or hides the virtual keyboard in situations where it doesn't show
      up automatically. But also the network-manager icon the the bluetooth icon are
      important icons that should be accessible.
      
      Increasing their icon size is a compromise between facing the growing number
      of high-resolution touchscreen devices and preserving usability on older low-
      resolution touchscreen devices.

      After Xfce 4.20 release remove outdated "backdrop" settings · 90e9e309
      Jakko authored
      The "backdrop" background picture handling was extensively reworked in
      Xfce 4.20 [1]. Unfortunately, the default backdrop image gets set when
      compiling the package [2]. User-specific changes are stored in local config
      file "xfce4-desktop.xml" by property "last-image" per workspace. However,
      workspaces are assigned to monitors and they have hardware-specific names.
      Deriving local monitor preferences from generic ones worked before but it
      doesn't seem to work anymore.
      
      Summarizing, currently there seems no way to set the postmarketOS wallpaper
      as the default backdrop image.

      After Xfce 4.20 release set theme "Greybird" explicitely · 287f8a7c
      Jakko authored
      Change theme to "Greybird" explicitely. It was used as the default theme in
      postmarketOS Xfce4 already, but upstream changed the default to "Adwaita" [1].

      Fix values to disable brightness reduction (MR 12) · 87d708c1
      Jakko authored
      These lines were implemented in the xfce4-phone config to simplify the
      display power behavior. They set the number of seconds until Xfce4 power
      manager reduces the display brightness.
      
      The idea is to disable the brightness reduction by Xfce4 power manager
      because this can confuse the tool "brightnessctl", which offers a service
      to save and restore the display brightness across boots.
      
      A value of 0 did not achieve the desired effect. The display brightness got
      reduced nonetheless.
      
      It turned out that the minimum time is 10 secs. Because of that a value of
      9 disables the brightness reduction feature.

      Simplify display power behavior (MR 11) · da0969d7
      Jakko authored
      This is supposed to avoid too much of a hassle when enabling brightnessctl
      in postmarketOS to save and restore display brightness over boots.
      
      With these settings the display just switches off after 2 mins on battery
      or 5 mins with power plug connected. Further settings like reducing the
      backlight after a while, display blanking and display sleeping are disabled,
      as they may cause issues when handling the backlight. Users can nonetheless
      enable those features in the power settings if desired.

      Increase double-click distance tolerance (MR 10) · 4571d597
      Jakko authored
      This makes double-clicking on touchscreens easier where needed.
      It shouldn't hurt laptop usage too much.

      Hide tooltips by setting opacity in GTK 3 css file (MR 10) · 9610615a
      Jakko authored
      Tooltips currently don't work well with touchscreens in GTK. They may show up
      undesired, don't go away and hinder the interaction.
      
      The GTK setting "gtk-enable-tooltips" to disable is deprecated since 3.10,
      unfortunately.
      
      A workaround to get rid of tooltips is setting their opacity to zero.
      Additionally set the font size to zero as well to reduce the area that
      the now transparent tooltip covers.

      Move whiskermenu settings into the xfconf panel file (MR 10) · bc631035
      Jakko authored
      In xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin 2.8.0 the storage location for the menu settings
      was moved to xfconf. They are now part of the xfconf file of the panel.
      
      Additionally, the default positioning of the menu elements were changed.
      
      This commit restores the whiskermenu layout as they were before in
      postmarketOS Xfce4.

      This is a preparatory step for moving the whiskermenu settings to xfconf,
      as it's required by xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin 2.8.0.
