Windsland 0.4.3

What's new

• Choose the island's screen. Settings > Island > Behavior > Screen puts the island on any connected screen, not only the main one, at that screen's own scaling and below a taskbar docked at its top. If the screen isn't connected, the island uses the main screen until it is. Thanks to the user who asked for it.
• Clearer "Reconnect Claude Code" prompt when Claude Code reports to another copy of Windsland (for example after switching between the website and Microsoft Store versions).

Windsland 0.4.2

What's new

• About a quarter of the memory. Windsland now draws the island and the dock on the CPU instead of the graphics card. With the same settings it uses about 45 MB of RAM instead of 175 MB (which could grow past 230 MB over a day), and no graphics memory, with the same smoothness and CPU use.
• New setting: Use the graphics card (Settings > General, off by default). Turn it on if animations feel less smooth on a very large or high-resolution screen. It takes effect the next time Windsland starts.

Windsland 0.4.1

What's new

• Stays centred on any setup. The island now places itself from your main monitor's real size and scaling, so it stays at the top centre with mixed scaling (say a 100% and a 150% screen side by side), after docking or undocking a laptop, and after changing scaling without signing out.
• Sits below a taskbar at the top. With the taskbar (or another app bar) docked at the top of the screen, the island now sits just below it instead of covering it. It moves along when the taskbar moves or switches to auto-hide.
• Puts things back when Windows closes it. When you sign out or Windows closes the app, it first restores Windows' notification pop-ups (if "Only in Windsland" turned them off) and the taskbar (if the dock hid it).

Thanks to everyone on r/desktops for the feedback.
