Guido Gunther requested to merge guido.gunther/phosh:docked into master Oct 08, 2020

This is mostly to

help testing convergence without having to fiddle with gsettings
exploring how ui should look like
give as enough leverage for Apps_Issues#159

TODO

better docked detection (currently we just count screens)
figure out if this should stay in the shell or in a g-s-d plugin (lets keep it in the shell atm)
a nice icon to indicate 'docked' mode (maybe @tobias.bernard has an idea)

This is what gets changed in docked mode:

windows become floating
gtk is toggled out of phone mode
osk gets hidden
headerbar switches to default layout
icon is put into the status bar to indicate docked mode

Closes: #366 (closed)
