Mistbar-v.0.1.3

Summary

This PR addresses feedback following PR #23:

1. Liquid Glass UI (No Dark/Blackish Tones):

   • Upgraded all popover and applet backgrounds from dark opaque tones (rgba(16, 22, 34, 0.72)) to crystal clear, luminous liquid glass (rgba(14, 22, 38, 0.28) with high-gloss specular top rim rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.88) and multi-layered inset reflections).
   • Removed the dark solid background override in .appmenu-popover > contents so the AppMenu & Go menu naturally inherit the liquid glass surface.
   • Refined .popover-card, .popover-card-list, .popover-item-row, and .power-option with clear luminous styling, crisp white highlights, and vibrant hover sheens.

2. Auto-Hide Stability & Glitch Elimination:

   • Resolved the cursor gap flicker: increased grace period from 250ms to 500ms and immediately cancel pending grace timers when entering the trigger zone or bar.
   • Fixed popover dismissal bug: popovers now actively register motion controllers and visibility listeners so interacting with popover menus, sliders, or lists keeps the bar revealed.
   • Eliminated layer surface fighting: hot edge trigger window is cleanly hidden while the bar is revealed.
   • Enhanced compositor workspace query with safe bash execution and fallback handling, preventing unhandled promise rejections.

3. CLI Restart & Startup Verification:

   • In mistbar stop, wait for the old Astal/GJS process to fully terminate before launching a new instance, preventing socket or DBus name collision.
   • Increased startup verification timeout in cmd_start from 3s to 7s to prevent false "Failed to verify Mistbar startup" timeouts on systems undergoing transpilation.

4. Resolved GJS Unhandled Promise Rejections:

   • Fixed DBus query quoting in SystemTray.tsx that caused a bash syntax error in GJS promise polling.
   • Migrated poll scripts to invoke python3 -c directly without nested shell wrapper escaping.
   • Moved Clock.tsx poll instances to module scope.

Testing & Verification

• Bundled cleanly with ags bundle src/app.ts.
• Successfully verified with mistbar restart (starts cleanly with zero warnings or errors in log).
• Verified mistbar toggle, mistbar show, mistbar hide, and intelligent auto-hide hover behavior.

Overview of Changes

1. Dynamic Theme & Style Switching:

   • Fixed an issue in src/styles/style.scss where light theme was blocked in glassy and transparent modes due to a restrictive :not(.style-glassy):not(.style-transparent) selector.
   • Added full Liquid Frosted Light Glass styling (light acrylic background, dark typography #1d1d1f, dark icons, and soft light drop-shadows).
   • Added light mode styling for Transparent and Solid styles.
   • Added matching light theme styles for all popovers (Control Center, App Menu, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Battery, and Power Menu).

2. Default Startup & Autostart on Desktop Launch:

   • Updated install.sh to automatically generate universal XDG autostart entry at ~/.config/autostart/mistbar.desktop.
   • Safely disables conflicting default bars (e.g. comments out spawn-at-startup "waybar") and adds spawn-at-startup "mistbar" "start" in Niri compositor config.
   • Updated uninstall.sh to cleanly remove autostart entries, remove layer rules, and restore previous compositor defaults.

3. Multi-Window Tracking & Command Synchronization:

   • Updated window management in src/app.ts and src/bar/Bar.tsx to track all active bar instances across multi-monitor setups.
   • Dynamic classes (style-*, look-*, light-theme) and layer surface margins are synchronized across all active displays.

4. Toggle, Show, and Hide Visibility Fix:

   • Added explicit manual visibility state management in src/bar/Bar.tsx.
   • Commands like mistbar toggle, mistbar show, and mistbar hide now properly retain their state without being overridden by the background auto-hide watcher.

5. CPU Optimization:

   • Removed the heavy 400ms Python polling loop in src/bar/Bar.tsx.
   • Replaced with a lightweight, native asynchronous niri msg -j workspaces call parsed directly in JavaScript, eliminating CPU spikes.

6. CLI Enhancements & Safe Config Updates:

   • Updated mistbar CLI script to safely persist configuration via Python JSON serialization even when the daemon is stopped.
   • Added daemon startup error logging to ~/.config/mistbar/mistbar.log.
   • Enhanced mistbar status to report active theme, style, look, autohide, and visibility.
