The island leaves the window.

What changed

  • The island on your desktop — Settings › Desktop island. Flip the switch and the pill floats at the top (or bottom) of the screen, over every app, without ever taking the keyboard. Hold it and slide it along the edge; right-click it for its own menu.
  • It reads Windows. The toasts in the Action Center (with the app's logo — dismiss here, gone there). What Spotify, a browser or any player is playing: cover, track, progress, play/pause/next. The app that just opened ("Opened Google Chrome", with its icon) — fresh launches only, or every switch. The volume, as a bar you can drag. The battery: plugged in, unplugged, 20/10/5 %. Every copy, from any app, with a glimpse of what was copied.
  • And Zpace, as before. Finished turns, commits, pushes, errors and permission requests unfold in it; what Claude is doing right now sits next to the brand; plugin readouts too. A click goes to the session.
  • Yours to shape. Edge, size (compact / regular / large), look (black / graphite / accent), opacity. Which of the nine sources it announces; which readouts it shows at rest (time, date, track, agent, battery); how long a card stays; what it does when nothing happens (stay, shrink to a sliver, step off the screen); do not disturb.

Cards queue by priority: what needs an answer holds the pill, a passing moment (the volume, an alt-tab) never waits in line. Nothing polls — every source is event-driven and runs only while the island is on. The system readouts are Windows-only for now; on macOS and Linux the desktop island still shows what Zpace says.
