Vaela 1.1.4

Vaela 1.1.4 fixes video backgrounds going black after quick workspace switches.

What's fixed

• No more black background after quick switches. If you switched workspaces again while a background was still crossfading, the video could go black, or keep showing the previous workspace's video, until you switched away and back. Now a switch during a crossfade finishes that fade before loading the next background. In testing with a video on each of three workspaces and random fast switching, 7 of 20 sequences used to end wrong; now none of 40 do.
• "Vaela" in KDE's Shortcuts settings. Vaela's global shortcuts now appear under Vaela instead of KWin. Shortcuts you've already changed are kept.

Requirements

• Fedora 44 or 45, x86_64, with current updates: both releases ship KWin 6.7.5, and the RPM requires exactly that version.
• Check your release with rpm -E %fedora, then pick the matching file below.

Install

Fedora Atomic (Bazzite, Kinoite, Silverblue), Fedora 45:

rpm-ostree install ./vaela-desktop-1.1.4-1.fc45.x86_64.rpm

Upgrading from an earlier Vaela RPM:

rpm-ostree install --uninstall vaela-desktop ./vaela-desktop-1.1.4-1.fc45.x86_64.rpm

Fedora Workstation:

sudo dnf install ./vaela-desktop-1.1.4-1.fc45.x86_64.rpm

On Fedora 44, use the fc44 file instead. Log out and choose Vaela at the login screen.
