v0.3.1
8312320

Two new widget styles, Monolith and Tiles, and a round of fixes to Settings and to how the widgets redraw.

New styles

Style What it looks like
Monolith The weekday is the widget: thin capitals spaced wide, with the date under it and the time in your accent. Music and battery sit on one quiet line at the other end of the screen.
Tiles Rounded dark cards: an analog clock with a scalloped face, the date, the turning record with a progress bar, and a battery ring.

Pick them from the tray (right-click the feather → Widget style) or from Settings → Style. Both follow your accent, size, position and monitor settings. Monolith starts top left, Tiles bottom right.

Fixes

  • Opening FeatherWall while it's running brings the running copy's Settings to the front instead of an "already running" box. That covers the Start menu entry and featherwall.exe --settings.
  • Settings stays in step with the tray. A style or accent picked from the tray updates an open Style page.
  • Text size on mixed-DPI setups. On a 100% monitor beside a 150% one, the Settings tabs, the style captions and the position grid no longer come out 1.5 times too big.
  • Large sizes stay on screen. At large sizes the grouped styles give up their margin before they cross the screen edge, and Monolith shrinks long weekday names like QUARTA-FEIRA to fit.
  • Less work each minute. In the grouped styles, only the panels whose pixels changed get a new shadow and go back to the screen.
  • Memory. Settings frees its wallpaper backdrop and rebuilt controls when they're replaced or closed, and Poster no longer leaks a drawing object on every repaint.

Upgrading from v0.3.0

Nothing changes until you pick a new style. If you go back to v0.3.0 with monolith or tiles in your config, it shows Classic.
