How to provide uniformity for active applets (same active line) across all my docks with Latte 0.7?

Plasma uses the tabbar.svg file in order to provide how an active applet would look like. This file is located at your theme directory/widgets/tabbar.svg. So if the user wants to use the same line (color and thickness) found at Latte Tasks plasmoid to its applets also and the same time not messing with some lines shown at top and some at the bottom he can try the following:

1. Go to <theme directory>/widgets/ and rename tabbar.svg to tabbar.svg.old
2. execute at command line

   kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental

   to update your cache
3. restart Latte
4. go to Tweaks -> Active Applet Indicator -> Everywhere

this way you will be able to have the same active line for all your applets and tasks and one which is animated also ;)

How can I activate the Internal Tasks Separator?

Can I change the Previews delay in Latte taskmanager?

You will need to alter your layout text file

2. Open your layout text file from ~/.config/latte
3. Try to locate your Latte plasmoid settings. Fast way to do this, search for isInLatteDock=true text
4. the following text sets previews delay to 150ms. Take note that this is the lowest value that can be set and work correctly.
5. Open Latte

e.g.

[Containments][13][Applets][68][Configuration][General]
isInLatteDock=true
previewsDelay=150

Can I disable Unified Global Shortcuts feature introduced with v0.8?

e.g.

[UniversalSettings]
...
unifiedGlobalShortcuts=false
...
