v1.4.0

新功能 / What's new

中文

• 网格贴合真实工作区：布局按任务栏的真实大小与位置避让（四边停靠、小图标、隐藏/自动隐藏全部识别），不再保守预留——不少机器底部能多排出一行。任务栏变化时自动重排。
• 首行下沉（设置 → 桌面）：图标网格整体下移半行，给第三方顶部菜单栏类软件让出空间，首行图标不再被吸顶窗口遮挡。纯显示层偏移，布局档不受影响，关闭即还原。
• 设置窗口重组：4 页 → 6 页（通用 / 桌面 / 外观 / 右键菜单 / 高级 / 关于），常用设置靠前、排障开关归入「高级」，每页一屏放完不滚动。
• 老款 Intel 核显自动软件渲染（#1）：检测到 HD/UHD 6xx、Iris Plus 等老核显时自动改用软件渲染，修复壁纸亮部烧成噪点/白块；其余机器保持硬件渲染。设置 → 高级可手动强制。

English

• Work-area-aware grid: the layout reads the taskbar's real size and position (any edge, small icons, hidden/auto-hidden) — no more guessed reserves; many machines gain a whole extra bottom row. Relayouts automatically when the taskbar changes.
• Sink First Row (Settings → Desktop): shifts the icon grid down half a row so third-party top menu bars don't overlap the first icon row. Display-only and fully reversible; stored layouts are untouched.
• Settings reorganized into 6 pages (General / Desktop / Appearance / Context Menu / Advanced / About) — frequent settings first, troubleshooting under Advanced, every page fits one screen.
• Auto software rendering on legacy Intel iGPUs (#1): HD/UHD 6xx, Iris Plus, etc. are detected and switched to software rendering, fixing wallpaper highlights burning into speckles/white; all other machines stay hardware-rendered. Manual override in Settings → Advanced.

MacDesk v1.3.0

新功能 / Features

• 文件夹堆叠 Folder Stacks（#2）：叠放模式下右键桌面文件夹选 "以堆叠方式展示" —— 图标带向下角标，单击原地展开内容为真实图标（可打开 / 拖出 / 右键 / 空格预览），再点收起。拖文件到文件夹上仍是移入；把展开的子项拖到空白处即移出到桌面；拖拽悬停半秒原地弹开；超出屏幕容量显示"还有 N 项"。分组就是文件夹本身——跨机迁移、卸载 MacDesk 都不丢。
  In Stacks mode, right-click a desktop folder and pick Display as Stack: the icon gets a chevron badge, a single click expands the folder's contents in place as real icons (open / drag out / right-click / Space preview), click again to collapse. Dropping files on the folder still moves them in; dragging an expanded item to empty desktop moves it out; hovering a drag over the folder springs it open; overflow shows an "N More" tile. The group IS the folder — it survives machine migrations and even uninstalling MacDesk.
• 桌面图标开关 Desktop icon toggles（方向来自 direction by @climashscape, PR #3）：设置 → 通用可显示/隐藏 此电脑、用户文件、网络、控制面板、回收站；首次启动跟随原生桌面当前的选择。
  Show or hide This PC, User's Files, Network, Control Panel and the Recycle Bin from Settings → General; the first run follows your native desktop's current choices.
• 右键菜单补全"重命名" Rename in context menus（思路来自 idea by @climashscape, PR #5）：原生 shell 文件菜单此前一直缺"重命名"动词，现在出现在"删除"之后，走 MacDesk 的内联重命名框。
  The native shell file menu never offered Rename; it now appears right after Delete and opens MacDesk's inline rename box.

修复 / Fixes

• 壁纸亮部烧白（#1）：壁纸预解码到屏幕尺寸，绕开个别核显驱动（如 Intel UHD 630)的硬件合成缺陷；另加"软件渲染"保底开关（设置 → 通用，重启生效）。
  Wallpaper highlights burning out on some iGPUs (#1, e.g. Intel UHD 630): the wallpaper mirror is now pre-scaled to screen size, bypassing the driver's hardware-compositing defect; a Software Rendering fallback toggle was added under Settings → General.
• 更新器识别预发布版本；--soft 启动不再影响自启参数；安装器在覆盖安装前强制清理滞留的辅助进程。
  The updater is prerelease-aware; --soft no longer taints autostart args; the installer force-cleans lingering helper processes before overwriting files.

Full Changelog: v1.2.1...v1.2.2-beta.1

MacDesk v1.2.1 — 修复自动更新偶发失败 / Fix flaky auto-update

🐛 修复 / Fixes

• 修复自动更新 / 覆盖安装偶发失败（clrjit.dll … 拒绝访问，错误代码 5 / Access is denied）。原因是升级瞬间有残留的 MacDesk 后台辅助进程（右键菜单 helper 等）仍占用自包含运行时文件。现在安装器会在替换文件前，先优雅退出主程序、再兜底清掉所有残留进程，确保文件不被锁定。
  Fixed the occasional auto-update / reinstall failure (clrjit.dll … Access is denied, error 5), caused by a leftover MacDesk helper process still holding the bundled runtime files during the upgrade. The installer now gracefully quits the app and then sweeps any lingering helper processes before replacing files.

🔧 内部 / Internal

• CI 升级到 Node 24 版本的 GitHub Actions（清除 Node 20 弃用警告）。
  Bumped CI GitHub Actions to their Node 24 releases (clears the Node 20 deprecation warning).

✨ 新功能 / New features

  Resize desktop icons with Ctrl + / Ctrl -, or the continuous slider under Settings → Appearance (32–128 DIU, snaps near the default). Fixes oversized icons on high-DPI / 4K displays.

• 空格键快速预览 / Quick preview with Space — 选中文件按 空格 即可预览，自动使用已安装的 QuickLook / Seer / PowerToys Peek（≥0.95）。可在「设置 → 通用」关闭。
  Select a file and press Space to preview it, using whichever of QuickLook / Seer / PowerToys Peek (≥0.95) is installed. Toggle under Settings → General.

• 空白处原生右键菜单（可选，默认关）/ Native right-click menu on empty space (optional, off by default) — 开启后，在桌面空白处右键弹出 Windows 原生桌面菜单；Alt + 右键 始终弹出 MacDesk 菜单（叠放 / 分组 / 更换壁纸 / 设置）。在「设置 → 右键菜单」开启。
  When enabled, right-clicking empty desktop space brings up Windows' native desktop menu; Alt + right-click always shows the MacDesk menu (Stacks / grouping / wallpaper / settings). Enable under Settings → Context menu.

🐛 修复 / Fixes

• 恢复网格模式下拖放图标吸附到网格的滑行动画。
  Restored the glide-to-grid animation when dropping icons in grid mode.
• 修复 MacDesk 右键菜单偶发的图标丢失（如「在终端中打开」等第三方项）。
  Fixed occasional missing icons in the MacDesk right-click menu (e.g. third-party verbs like "Open in Terminal").
• 修复已安装 QuickLook 时空格预览误判为「未安装」的问题。
  Fixed Space preview failing to detect QuickLook when it was actually installed.

MacDesk v0.9.0

MacDesk brings macOS desktop-icon behavior to Windows: one relative layout that survives resolution, DPI, and monitor changes — plus the interactions to go with it.

Built end-to-end by Claude (Anthropic). No backend, no telemetry; the only network access is the manual update check on the About page.

Highlights

• One layout, any resolution. Icon positions are stored as resolution-independent anchors (macOS model). Switch 1080p ↔ 4K ↔ anything — the arrangement derives in place and returns byte-identical when you switch back. Resolution changes are seamless: the outgoing instance covers the desktop while its replacement attaches, and icons morph to their new spots. No flash.
• Use Stacks. macOS-style desktop stacks: group by kind, date modified, or size. Closed piles fan out up to three real member icons; expanding turns the pile spot into a collapse button; hover + scroll scrubs through a pile's contents. Spring-out expansion, fade-away collapse. Turning Stacks off restores your exact arrangement.
• Multi-monitor, the macOS way. One desktop window per monitor (mixed DPI handled), icons belong to a monitor, and unplugging one consolidates its icons onto the primary display — without touching their stored positions — until it returns.
• Real desktop interactions. Native shell context menus (isolated from crashing third-party extensions, serialized into the main process to end foreground-war flicker), OLE drag & drop with drag imagery, spring-loaded folders, rubber-band multi-select, inline rename with Tab cycling, clipboard file ops, Finder-style middle-ellipsis labels, undoable clean-up and sorting.
• Wallpaper mirroring per monitor with all six fit modes, following system changes within seconds.
• macOS-style Settings (light/dark aware, incl. the title bar): accent colors, context-menu blacklist with a picker, autostart, native-layout import, manual update check.
• Survives Explorer restarts via a tiny watchdog process (~250 ms re-attach), and starts on boot if you want it to.
• First-run onboarding offers to import your existing desktop arrangement.

Install

1. Download MacDesk-v0.9.0-win-x64.zip below and extract anywhere (e.g. C:\Tools\MacDesk).
2. Run MacDesk.exe --hide-native (hides the native icon layer; MacDesk draws its own).
3. On first run, choose whether to import your current desktop arrangement.
4. Optional: enable Start on boot in MacDesk Settings (right-click the desktop → MacDesk 设置…).

To quit: Ctrl+Alt+Q, or Quit in Settings — the native desktop is restored on exit.

Requirements: Windows 11 (tested on 26200), x64. Self-contained build — no .NET install needed.

Known limitations

• The desktop layer is opaque and repaints the wallpaper itself; live wallpapers (e.g. Wallpaper Engine) can't show through yet — true transparency is the next major item on the roadmap.
• Drag imagery renders at the source monitor's DPI and can look small while crossing a higher-DPI screen (a Windows shell limitation).
• Some third-party context-menu extensions that crash in-process are auto-bypassed; their items appear via fallbacks where possible.
