Appearance Studio Windows Normal 0.13.1 — .NET 10 LTS, Unsigned Public Preview

Appearance Studio Normal for Windows — Unsigned Public Preview

Publisher: TandemVector Labs (GitHub organization: TandemVector-Labs)
Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin — دکتر علی‌اکبر عمادالدین
Release: Windows Normal 0.13.1, 3 November 2026, unsigned public preview.
Scope: Windows 10/11 x64, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), .NET 10 LTS. Not Ultimate or a completed v1.0 product.

Installation

1. Obtain this ZIP exclusively from the TandemVector-Labs organization release page and validate its adjacent SHA256 checksum.
2. Extract the entire ZIP into a folder that you own. Do not execute directly inside the ZIP.
3. Install the Microsoft .NET 10 Desktop Runtime for Windows x64 from Microsoft's official download page if it is not already installed: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/10.0
4. Launch AppearanceStudio.Win.exe from the extracted folder.

This is a portable, framework-dependent WPF application; it is not an MSI/MSIX installer and does not require Administrator privileges for extraction and launch. The normal 18 visual-world previews and 36 Dark/Light modes use original, algorithmically generated hero images. See ARTWORK_PROVENANCE.md and PUBLIC-MANIFEST.json.

The interface provides bounded previews and explicitly controlled native-opt-in experiments. Starting the app does not authorize it to replace system-wide settings, other users' windows, private applications or desktop wallpaper.

Verification

• Real Windows .NET 10 host: 18 identities and 36 rendered WPF scene-mode interactions passed.
• Non-input, independently created Windows Desktop: 3 actual loaded HWND windows, 36 mode interactions, 2 restored selections and 139 assertions passed without switching the user's input desktop.
• The existing owner-installed AppearanceStudio app was preserved byte-for-byte.
• 18 public hero JPEGs were made from first-party procedural geometry; 0 images from the original private gallery were bundled.
• The published ZIP is unsigned. SHA-256 detects changed bytes but does not authenticate the publisher. Windows SmartScreen may display an unrecognized-publisher warning.

Known limitations

This is the Windows Normal preview, not Appearance Studio Ultimate. Cross-application glass, full cinematic per-world system effects, audio and cursor integration, full 8K video/wallpaper media and extended owner-visible soak are not claimed as accepted. The public package contains no privately licensed game artwork or unverified Ultimate files. Data-format choices from an earlier private catalog were replaced with public original-theme identities and first-party images.

Redistribution terms are in LICENSE; author credit is in NOTICE. Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime is obtained separately from Microsoft and is not bundled in this archive.

Appearance Studio Windows Normal 0.13.4 — Live Glass System Status (Unsigned Preview)

Appearance Studio Windows Normal 0.13.4 — Live Glass System Status

Publisher: TandemVector Labs. Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin.

One self-contained Windows x64 Normal user-level NSIS installer. This release is an unsigned public prerelease, NOT the Ultimate edition or a signed FINAL release.

New since 0.13.3: Fixed neutral matte-glass status capsule in Appearance Studio's app footer, independent of all 18 scene Light/Dark palettes. The live capsule shows locally sampled Windows time (HH:mm:ss), Gregorian calendar, accurate Solar Hijri/Persian date, system CPU utilization from Windows GetSystemTimes delta and physical RAM utilization from GlobalMemoryStatusEx. Built-in .NET PersianCalendar, kernel32 only, no WMI background service, Administrator/UAC, network, geolocation, OS theme changes, or system-wide hooks. Weather is explicitly NOT displayed because no user-selected location/data source is configured; no temperature is fabricated. Existing 18 user-clicked self-owned cinematic popup windows and 0.13.2 cinematic hero transitions remain.

Verified private QA: Windows native status offline selftest PASS (8 checks including Gregorian 2026-03-21 => Persian 1405/01/01, synthetic CPU delta 75%, real memory reading and no native writes), then actual native private non-input Windows desktop 438 assertions PASS on 18 scene identities, 36 dark/light modes, 18 separate owned WPF popup windows, three genuine WPF main windows, live changing CPU samples, stable glass background and owner data/focus unchanged. Final self-contained release executable 36 WPF mode matrix and status selftest both exit0.

Installer/upgrade: Same canonical HKCU Appearance Studio identity: four private injected version 0.13.3→0.13.4 crash checkpoints each rejected exit2 and byte-exact previous app/receipt restored; clean upgrade exit0, idempotent reinstall exit0, tampered file uninstall refusal exit2, clean uninstall exit0 and data preserved. Real Emad Windows owner 0.13.3→0.13.4 one-app native NSIS upgrade PASS; installed Setup --verify exit0, old NSIS uninstall path unchanged, personal data SHA identical and pinned 0.13.3 recovery committed. No Administrator required.

Remaining open: Real global Windows DWM/third-party window/audio/cursor FX, multi-monitor slideshow wallpaper with exact rollback, Linux GNOME/KDE Ultimate live hardware parity, weather with explicit configured location, private third-party Ultimate media rights, complete Normal→Ultimate edition migration and signed multi-platform FINAL. Whole project NONFINAL.

Appearance Studio Windows Normal 0.13.3 — 18 Cinematic Windows (Unsigned Preview)

Appearance Studio Normal Windows 0.13.3 — 18 owned cinematic windows

Organization: TandemVector Labs. Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin.

Windows x64. This is a real self-contained native NSIS installer, user-local and unsigned. This release is for the Normal edition and explicitly a prerelease, not the final Ultimate edition.

New since 0.13.2: Each of the 18 authored scene identities now has an actual independent WPF cinematic window, opened by the user-visible OPEN CINEMATIC WINDOW control. Every window has the original world hero image, a unique scene-specific vector motif and entrance/exit motion profile. It follows the main application's Dark/Light selection (36 scene/mode states), uses bounded WPF-native animations, responds to Escape or CLOSE, closes on emergency STOP, and respects Windows Reduced Motion. The 0.13.2 no-intermediate-frame hero crossfade remains.

Scope and safety: Cinematic windows belong only to Appearance Studio itself and start only on deliberate user input. No system-wide DWM changes, third-party HWND hooks, foreign application focus/input handling, global cursor/audio effect, desktop wallpaper mutation or slideshow replacement is claimed. This Windows host currently has four monitors and slideshow enabled; the safe single-image wallpaper change gate remains CLOSED.

Testing: Private non-input Windows desktop produced 433 passing assertions, tested 18 actual owned WPF windows and their 36 dark/light states, emergency stop and zero owner desktop/user data mutations. The final 0.13.3 self-contained executable independently passed a 36-case in-memory WPF scene matrix. New installer was tested for four injected upgrade crashes and exact 0.13.2 rollback (all four refused), correct 0.13.2 to 0.13.3 installation, repeat install idempotence, tampered-file uninstall refusal, safe clean uninstall and personal Data preservation. Real Emad Windows 0.13.2 to 0.13.3 single-install in-place upgrade PASS: exactly one HKCU application, unchanged native NSIS uninstall identity and personal Data hash, previous version retained for recovery; installed Setup --verify exit0. No Administrator elevation needed.

Installer SHA-256:
fd04e866ba0c43e80f37437a30b19ed98052affd58c9c7d3f5eb908ea464e2aa AppearanceStudio-Windows-Normal-0.13.3-NSIS-unsigned-preview.exe

Remaining: Ultimate Windows/Linux full feature parity, GNOME/KDE actual owner Ultimate sessions, authorized redistribution of third-party/private Ultimate artwork (400 unresolved and 59 GPL conditional), native system-wide FX/monitoring/panel/audio and signed final release. The product as a whole is NONFINAL.

Appearance Studio Windows Normal 0.13.2 — Cinematic (Unsigned Preview)

Appearance Studio Windows Normal 0.13.2 — cinematic scene transitions

Publisher: TandemVector Labs. Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin.

This is a real Windows x64 Normal per-user native NSIS installer, built from first-party source and original 18 authored hero images; it is explicitly unsigned and a public prerelease, NOT Ultimate or signed FINAL.

Improvements vs 0.13.1: WPF cinematic crossfade between 18 hero images with no intermediate placeholder frame, 36 Dark/Light identities, bounded scene-specific transition duration, preview emergency stop cancellation and Windows Reduced Motion compatibility. No global Windows wallpaper, shell, audio, mouse or third-party app edits are promised by the preview.

Upgrade and uninstall: One canonical Appearance Studio installation in HKCU. Explicit byte/manifest-pinned 0.13.1 to 0.13.2 in-place upgrade, old inactive app/receipt retained for recovery, same native NSIS uninstaller. New installs, repeat, deliberate failure refusal, tampered file refusal and uninstall were tested on disposable directories. Real Emad Windows upgrade PASS preserving exactly one registered app, existing UninstallString and all user data hashes. No Administrator required.

Executed private acceptance: 18 Windows scene transitions, 36 Dark/Light mode changes, 212 assertions and three true WPF HWND instances on a private non-input desktop PASS. Four distinct injected failures return exit 2 and exactly restore prior Normal, then clean upgrade 0, repeat 0, tampered uninstall 2 and clean uninstall 0. Real owner in-place installation and one registered app also readback-verified.

SHA-256 (verify before using):
41253d9ba3765b09674aad17a83cf69308549668a3de82357bdd81008f592a0c AppearanceStudio-Windows-Normal-0.13.2-NSIS-unsigned-preview.exe

Unfinished scope: Windows full Ultimate feature equivalence with Linux/GNOME/KDE, real owner long-soak/visual/GPU/audio acceptance, public redistribution rights for private Ultimate artwork (400 unknown / 59 GPL conditional), Normal-to-Ultimate edition upgrade and signed FINAL release. No Ultimate private artwork bundle is included. Whole product NOT FINAL.

Appearance Studio Normal Windows & KDE Linux — Installer Preview (Unsigned)

Appearance Studio Normal — Windows and Linux KDE Installers (Unsigned Preview)

Publisher: TandemVector Labs
Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin
Release type: Prerelease / Normal only / Unsigned / Not the Ultimate product.

Download

• Windows 10/11 x64: AppearanceStudio-Windows-Normal-0.13.1-NSIS-unsigned-preview.exe (96,915,491 bytes). Windows user-local graphical NSIS setup and native uninstall registration, self-contained .NET 10 executable, no separate Desktop Runtime or Administrator required. Clean install, idempotent reinstall, tamper-refusal and clean removal passed temporary-root end-to-end tests. Verified on real Emad Windows as one HKCU registered app with native NSIS Uninstall, owner data preserved.
• Linux KDE Plasma: AppearanceStudio-KDE-Normal-0.1.3-unsigned-installer-candidate.run (71,923 bytes). One portable user-local Normal installer file embedding the first-party public KDE Normal and a pinned single-product-authority manager. Clean installation and in-place repeat install passed private HOME tests; on Emad and Mohammad KDE Linux existing product root/launcher was reused without duplication. Uses native kdialog/zenity confirmation when interactive. Downloaded .run execution permissions and actual graphical file-manager launch remain not fully accepted, and Python 3 plus local KDE runtime dependencies are required.

Scope and limitations

These are working, scoped Normal installation candidates, not the final cross-platform Appearance Studio Ultimate. Windows and Linux may have different supported functions. GNOME 50 has its own existing Normal prerelease; it is not included in the KDE installer.

Not yet accepted: Normal→Ultimate in-place edition upgrade, complete Windows/Linux feature parity, all advanced cinematic effects/audio/cursor/panel workflows, real AMD owner visual acceptance, extended soak, full signed public-release requirements, and third-party Ultimate media license clearance (400 unproven public rights and 59 GPL-conditional items). No third-party Ultimate visual bundle is distributed with this prerelease. Neither installer promises to modify the entire desktop on its own.

Safety: Keep personal data backups. Windows installer is unsigned; verify SHA-256 above before running. The NSIS native Uninstall entry has been tested in a private root, but uninstall of the live owner's installation was intentionally not invoked to preserve the active working app. The Linux KDE installer preserves existing owned app identities and fails closed on unmanaged duplicate launchers.

Appearance Studio KDE Normal 0.1.8 — Global Theme-Independent Glass (Unsigned Preview)

Appearance Studio KDE Plasma 6 Normal, v0.1.8 — unsigned public preview.
Publisher: TandemVector Labs. Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin (دکتر علی‌اکبر عمادالدین).

This focused Normal hotfix resolves a first-use regression: when the user has the official, receipt-pinned Ubuntu Kvantum plugin and KvMojave theme installed but has deliberately changed their global Kvantum theme, the standalone Dolphin Glass Files preview must continue to work without resetting that global preference. The package's readiness check now validates the pinned upstream Qt6 plugin/theme resources, not whether KvMojave remains the global selection. The 18/24/36% presets still use an isolated launch-scoped XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Global KDE, owner Kvantum, wallpapers and panels remain untouched during isolated preview.

Verified:

• Eight KDE Normal package regression tests PASS, including exact historical ZIP fixture sources, pinned public package manifest and a single-module 0.1.7-to-0.1.8 upgrade with 46 managed file hashes.
• Private user-local Ubuntu Kvantum setup in a disposable HOME with the global theme changed to KvRoughGlass: native Qt6 Kvantum loaded, isolated 24% preview generated and original global theme SHA unchanged.
• Both installed owner KDE devices received the same single-helper correction, retained independent canonical install receipts, and passed Qt6 verification. The separate Windows Normal install remains verified.
• User-modified modules are not overwritten, repeated installs make no changes. No third-party proprietary wallpaper assets or Kvantum binary are bundled.

Scope limits: This is a Normal unsigned prerelease only, not Ultimate or a final product. The complete Dolphin sidebar optical glass criterion, multi-monitor/long-term cross-platform acceptance, rights clearance for Ultimate media and code signing remain OPEN. Existing first-party GUI features and 18 worlds were not replaced. SHA-256 verifies artifact bytes, not publisher signing.

Optional experimental one-file KDE Normal GUI installer — EXPERIMENTAL_KDE_NORMAL_GUI_ONEFILE_018

Attached AppearanceStudio-KDE-Normal-0.1.8-unsigned-installer-candidate.run is a first-party GUI-capable user-local Normal-only installer candidate. SHA-256: 70205ec6b533f7ca2cd2ee1900f0138182a71487dbee689a5c0cf0db90cfbc6f. It packages the exact public 0.1.8 source and single-install authority manager, with no private Ultimate media or third-party binaries. It uses kdialog or zenity and requires desktop Python/PyQt6 dependencies.

Twelve historical/current installer tests PASS: fresh install 46 managed files, verified 0.1.7-to-0.1.8 single-module upgrade, single KDE+GNOME install receipt, idempotent reinstall, user-edit/duplicate identity refusal, and simulated native GUI consent/error dialog. The published download was independently tested on Mohammad's Linux host in a disposable HOME, including all 46 managed file pins and a single application identity. Owner desktop settings were not changed.

Not a final end-user installer. Web downloads may lose the Unix executable bit. In Dolphin, use Properties > Permissions > Is executable if the downloaded file is not launchable; opening it then uses graphical dialogs without a terminal. This candidate has not met fresh-device dependency bootstrapping, OS-native package-manager integration, or Ultimate Windows/Linux parity. The PYZ asset remains the pinned Normal preview.

Optional verified Repair installer — EXPERIMENTAL_KDE_NORMAL_REPAIR_20261107

A separate first-party experimental KDE Normal 0.1.8 one-file GUI installer is attached as AppearanceStudio-KDE-Normal-0.1.8-repair-experimental.run (82,049 bytes, SHA-256 c3c152002a607894ccfa29abeab3aeb81264d3d606467e45ef18edd679d14d7f). Existing published Normal 0.1.8 zipapp and earlier installer remain unchanged.

It offers Install/Update, Repair, and Verify from a kdialog/zenity action menu. Repair can restore at most three missing unmodified release-owned KDE files from their exact pinned package contents, with both installer locks. It rejects edited files, altered manifests, unbundled resources, missing shared launcher, symlinks and concurrent writer locks. It never resets the owner's global KDE/Kvantum theme.

Evidence: 22/22 permanent historical/current Linux one-file installer regression tests PASS (including simulated native menu confirmation, cancellation and failure), plus direct independent testing of the exact candidate on Mohammad's Linux host in a disposable HOME: fresh install (46 files), Repair, idempotence, edited-owner-file refusal, and no global-theme mutation. There was no alteration to installed owner application identities. Published binary SHA matches the private tested candidate. Optional upstream system Qt6/PyQt6/Kvantum dependencies remain required.

EXPERIMENTAL, UNSIGNED, NORMAL ONLY. This is not full final Ultimate. No complete Linux graphical uninstall, GNOME/KDE one-installer dependency delivery, multi-monitor/long-soak optical acceptance, rights-clear Ultimate media or trusted signing are claimed. Full native interactive GUI acceptance remains OPEN (simulation tests are separate). Browser downloads may drop executable permission; use Dolphin Properties > Permissions > Is executable when necessary.

Optional reversible KDE-only Normal installer lifecycle — EXPERIMENTAL_KDE_NORMAL_REVERSIBLE_LIFECYCLE_20261107

A first-party unsigned experimental user-local binary `AppearanceStudio-KDE-Normal-0.1.8-lifecycle-experimental.run` (87,027 bytes; SHA-256 `06684afb79fe843d02c256f8c019c489b3dfd24d18268735a8520468a86c6f27`) is attached alongside the unchanged accepted Normal 0.1.8 preview. It contains only five first-party archive members, including the original pinned public KDE Normal binary and the manager/repair/uninstall components. Publisher: TandemVector Labs. Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin. Ultimate is not included.

This experimental one-file Linux GUI menu supports Install/Update, Repair, Verify, Uninstall (reversible) and Restore. KDE-only Uninstall requires TWO explicit graphical confirmations, verifies every existing managed SHA and a single KDE component in the canonical install authority, then stages exactly 50 owned records (the 46 managed application files, two manifests/receipts and two zero-byte locks) in a private user-local rollback archive. Restore only accepts one authentic staged journal, recreates all original bytes and verifies the original one-install receipt. It refuses GNOME+KDE shared installations, owner edits, unexpected private files, symlinks, unrelated destination paths, corrupted archives, duplicate recovery paths, active installer locks and any existing new product. It never touches active wallpapers, panels, or the global Kvantum theme.

Acceptance scope: 35/35 permanent historic/current one-file installer regression tests PASS; independent test on Mohammad's actual Linux host with disposable HOME verified 46-file install, 50-item reversible Uninstall and exact Restore, including edited-owner-file refusal. Two fault-injection tests established full rollback after partial file moves and also after all files moved but before final receipt commit. The production user HOME was untouched. GUI action menu tests are simulated, not full observed live click acceptance.

NOT FINAL: no GNOME+KDE shared uninstall; it intentionally refuses that scenario to preserve GNOME. No automatic platform dependency installation, complete Qt/KWin/Dolphin optical acceptance, multi-monitor endurance, Windows/Linux Ultimate parity, third-party media rights or publisher cryptographic signature. This is an unsigned Normal-only experimental asset. Downloaded .run files may need executable permission enabled in Dolphin Properties > Permissions. A backup is intentionally preserved for Restore; test/uninstall does not delete arbitrary user files.

Appearance Studio KDE Normal 0.1.7 — First-Run Glass Files Fix (Unsigned Preview)

Appearance Studio KDE Plasma 6 Normal, v0.1.7 — unsigned public preview.

Publisher: TandemVector Labs. Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin (دکتر علی‌اکبر عمادالدین).

This focused update repairs the first-use Dolphin Glass Files path. Previously, selecting Matte 18%, Balanced 24%, or Clear 36% required the owner to have an existing AppearanceStudioGlass mapping. When no such mapping exists, the app now falls back to the official OS-installed Kvantum KvMojave resources (or pinned user-local upstream KvMojave), generating a separate, hash-addressed launch-only XDG_CONFIG_HOME. No changes are made to the owner's original Kvantum settings, global KDE style, wallpaper, dock, or panel.

Verified scope:

• 7/7 KDE distribution/upgrade regression tests PASS, including historical pinned packages.
• Clean account on the real Mohammad Intel KDE system: all three presets generated in disposable HOME; native Qt6 Kvantum plugin loaded and guarded new-Dolphin launch contract verified. No owner settings written.
• Clean user-local Kvantum scenario on Emad AMD KDE: all three presets and native Qt6 plugin load verified from official upstream user-local plugin/theme.
• Upgrade from published Normal v0.1.6 modifies exactly one installed module; 46 managed pins verify, repeat install is a no-op and user-modified content causes a fail-closed refusal.
• Source and 49-member release archive hash-pinned and deterministically rebuilt. Includes no franchise media, Ultimate galleries, GPL plugin binaries or third-party artwork.

Limits: Native KWin controlled blur demonstrated on real Intel/AMD GPUs, but the complete Dolphin sidebar visual criterion remains OPEN. This is NOT a full Liquid Glass acceptance, Ultimate release, multi-monitor parity signoff or signed publisher release. Optional Kvantum comes from its own Ubuntu/Linux upstream under the upstream license; first use may require local installation from the official package system.

Appearance Studio KDE Normal 0.1.6 — Selectable Dolphin Liquid Glass (Unsigned Preview)

Appearance Studio KDE Plasma 6 Normal — unsigned public preview, 0.1.6.

Publisher: TandemVector Labs (TandemVector-Labs). Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin (دکتر علی‌اکبر عمادالدین).

What's new:

• Three user-selectable, launch-only Dolphin/Kvantum glass opacity-reduction presets in Appearance Studio KDE: Matte 18%, Balanced 24%, Clear 36%.
• Each preview uses its own XDG_CONFIG_HOME and the user's existing AppearanceStudioGlass style; no global KDE style, original Kvantum configuration, wallpaper or panel is overwritten.
• Existing 18 world identities, 36 Dark/Light options, native panel and World actions remain.

Scoped verification:

• 6/6 KDE package regression tests PASS. Deterministic build reproducible by SHA-256. From public 0.1.5 both modified modules upgrade in a disposable HOME, 46 managed files verify, reinstall is a no-op, and user-modified modules fail closed.
• Installed Qt6 frontend, all four pages, presets, Qt6 Kvantum plugin loading and installation authority verified on both owners' KDE X11 machines. Isolated Dolphin child launch passed on the Intel host.
• Controlled Intel and AMD real GPU KWin Blur is measurable. Full Dolphin sidebar optical criteria are NOT yet accepted; not a complete Liquid Glass or Ultimate pass.

Licensing and limitations:
The archive includes no franchise art, private gallery, third-party binaries, or rights-unverified Ultimate media. Optional Kvantum Qt6 is obtained separately under upstream license. This is an unsigned prerelease; SHA-256 checks bytes, not publisher identity. Full Ultimate, cross-OS parity, long-soak and signed distribution remain separate gates.

Install with --install-user on the PYZ. Verify with --verify-only. Existing owner customizations are not silently overwritten.

Appearance Studio KDE Normal 0.1.5 — Native World Undo Fix (Unsigned Preview)

KDE Plasma 6 — Normal 0.1.5 (unsigned pre-release)

Publisher: TandemVector Labs · Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin.

This is the existing Normal application, not Ultimate. It contains 18 first-party theme identities, 36 native KDE Light/Dark color schemes, the local wallpaper gallery and native Apply World / Undo World; it does not include private multimedia.

What is fixed: Plasma's built-in wallpapers can be a package directory (for example, /usr/share/wallpapers/SafeLanding/) instead of a JPEG. Undo World now accepts only a validated system-owned KDE wallpaper package, retains its trailing slash when restoring the native D-Bus URL, and checks restoration prerequisites before modifying a user's desktop. Untrusted directory and symlink paths remain rejected.

Validated: Real user-local KDE Plasma 6 X11 Apply/Undo on two owner laptops (General/Dark and General/Light), each restoring the exact original SHA-256 of kdeglobals, plasmarc and plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc; all Undo receipts closed. Packaged 49-member .pyz verified against its embedded SHA-256 manifest. Clean isolated HOME installation created 46 files; a repeated install created/updated zero files.

Install (clean or plain Normal installs only):
python3 AppearanceStudio-KDE-Plasma6-0.1.5-unsigned-public.pyz --install-user

Verify before installation:
sha256sum -c AppearanceStudio-KDE-Plasma6-0.1.5-unsigned-public.pyz.sha256

Requires Python 3 with PyQt6, KDE Plasma 6 native tools, and a compatible user-local session. Do not install this Normal archive over an owner machine's newer private Ultimate Qt6 opt-in overlay; it is a separate development scope and that in-place migration is not accepted.

Signature: none; SHA-256 integrity only, not publisher authentication. No privately owned/unreviewed Ultimate images, theme audio, 8K media, proprietary binaries or third-party game art bundled. This is a prerelease, not final Ultimate, and does not certify all KWin/GNOME/Windows effects or optical acceptance.

Appearance Studio KDE Normal 0.1.4 — Compact Dock Fix (Unsigned Preview)

Appearance Studio KDE Plasma 6 Normal v0.1.4 — unsigned public preview.

Publisher: TandemVector Labs (TandemVector-Labs organization).
Original author: Dr. Aliakbar Emadoddin.

New: the KDE native Panel & Dock Profiles controller now disables only existing expanding spacers when applying the Mohammad compact layout. Actual Plasma panel width must shrink at least 15%; a property-only mode change is no longer reported as success. Both spacer settings and panel geometry are saved for guarded Undo. On real KDE X11 hardware, the existing 1920px bottom bar shrank to 832px. Apply -> Undo -> Apply verified, preserving all 17 panel widgets and the foreground desktop.

QA: six isolated regression cases, Qt6 UI one-click route, Python syntax, SHA-256 archive manifest, no-extra-media checks and real device Apply/Undo/Apply passed. The artifact has 49 inspected members.

No user/franchise wallpaper, rights-unverified media, Shamsi calendar plasmoid, GPL Kvantum binaries or Ultimate features are distributed in this Normal preview.
Unsigned: SHA-256 proves artifact integrity only, not publisher identity. KWin/Dolphin GPU blur and full Ultimate acceptance remain open.

SHA-256 (.pyz): 2c3101a2430e3ca5218af8119c21b08e40d1066916266116d4114e59ec33b902
