Island v2.8.1

Island v2.8.1

An island for Windows — attached to the top of your screen, it hosts your tools
(media, timer, clipboard, Bitwarden vault, launcher, notifications, …) and
isolated, signed extensions.

Fixed in 2.8.1

• Terminals opened by extensions (Projects: npm scripts, compose, “Terminal here”) now get an up-to-date environment, as if opened from Explorer. Your user PATH is there even when Island was started without it or before you installed a tool: pnpm, starship… are found again in Git Bash.

Install

Download Island_*_x64-setup.exe (recommended) or the .msi below, and run it.

What's new in 2.8.0 — extensions for developers

• New extension permissions:
  • files: an extension only sees the folders you give it in Island's own dialog (list, read, open with the associated app).
  • terminal (shown in red): run commands in a Windows Terminal tab, with your default profile's shell (Git Bash, PowerShell…) or one you pick.
  • docker (shown in red): the local Docker Engine API (start, stop, restart containers).
• Launcher: an extension prefix ending in : sticks to the query, like Island's own (p:game).
• Projects extension, in the store: Unreal (build the editor target then launch the editor, like “Start without debugging”), Node (npm scripts in Windows Terminal), Docker Compose (containers, up / down). Search them with p: in the launcher.

What's new in 2.7.0 — richer live wallpapers

• Video layers: use an MP4 or WebM loop as a layer, placed, masked and blended like an image, with speed and loop start. Decoded by the hardware video decoder, paused during games and fullscreen apps.
• Text layers: any installed font, weight, italic, uppercase, color, alignment, line height and spacing, with an outline and a shadow (or glow). Live variables inserted from a menu: time (any city), date, weather, now playing — {time}, {time@Asia/Tokyo}, {date:EEEE d MMMM}, {weather.temp}, {media.title}…
• Visible when…: show a layer only at dawn, day, dusk or night (from the real sunrise and sunset), during set hours, or under real weather (rain, snow, storm…), with a smooth fade. The editor can simulate any time of day or sky.
• Scenes using these layers need Island 2.7 or newer; older versions refuse them cleanly.

What's new in 2.6.0 — the Island Store

• Store window (button in the Overview): discover, search and filter live wallpapers and extensions, in a grid or a list, with full pages (screenshots, permissions, versions).
• Install in one click: scenes install and apply directly; extensions open an install window that lists their permissions. Extensions reviewed by the store show as Verified by the store.
• Automatic updates of installed extensions and scenes (checked at startup, then daily), with a system notification.
• Publish your scenes from the wallpaper editor, and your extensions from Settings › Extensions (developer mode), after signing in with GitHub. Extensions are reviewed before they go public.
• Better thumbnails for scenes: the editor's real render, otherwise all layers composited.
• Developers: island login / publish in the SDK CLI.
