GlouOS 0.11

Added

  • Right-aligned taskbar is now a true mirror. Setting the taskbar to
    Right no longer just shoves your apps up against the clock: the whole bar
    flips. The clock, tray and weather move to the left edge, your apps and
    the search button sit on the right, and the Start button lands in the
    right-hand corner - a proper mirrored Windows layout. The preview in the
    Taskbar settings shows exactly that.

Fixed

  • Your taskbar survives updates now. Pinned apps and your chosen
    alignment used to vanish whenever an update refreshed the desktop layout,
    because the refresh replaced the panel configuration wholesale. It now
    carries your pins and alignment over into the new layout - you get the
    updated taskbar without re-pinning everything.
  • New files show up. Always. Compressing a folder's contents from
    inside it created the zip but the File Explorer wouldn't show it - and
    refreshing didn't help, because the refresh didn't actually re-read the
    folder. F5 is now a real refresh, and the view refreshes itself after
    every copy, paste, delete, undo, extract and compress, so what you see is
    always what's on disk.
  • Performance Mode actually turns on. The toggle silently did nothing
    on installed systems: the installer writes the GRUB config with single
    quotes and the toggle only recognised double quotes, so the checkbox
    reverted every time. It now handles both, verifies the change landed, and
    tells you if something went wrong instead of quietly unticking itself.
