Wrayth 1.4.2

Wrayth 1.4.2

Bug fixes. Nothing new to learn: everything works as before, more reliably.

• The shell starts on systems without Qt Multimedia. Before, the background,
  the lockscreen and every full-screen view depended on it (for video
  wallpapers), so without it the shell did not load at all.
• SIGNAL can no longer hang other apps' audio. It now listens to your output
  device only, and is never paused, so a browser's new video never waits on
  it. It follows your output when you switch (for example to headphones).
• Text from outside the shell is always shown as plain text: track titles in
  the bar's ticker, the Wi-Fi network's name and tray menus could be drawn as
  formatted text before.
• Admin prompts keep working after the shell restarts itself following a
  crash (the prompt agent now retries its registration).
• Settings files you have edited by hand are never replaced with defaults if
  they contain a typo (system.json, privacy.json).
• Your interface scale (SYSTEM page) is restored after logging in and after
  Hyprland reloads its config.
• REDUCED MOTION and game mode now stop every glitch, including the ones
  triggered by opening the deck or applying a profile.
• Deleting a wallpaper from the library also removes it from your pools, even
  if you leave without saving.
• The CPU and MEM readouts reserve exactly the width of their values.
• The colour picker's marker is square, like everything else.
• Packages: libnotify is now required (the shell's own notices need it);
  qt6-multimedia-ffmpeg is recommended for video wallpapers.
• README corrections: the optional-packages command, interface names and
  messages, and the icon credits.

To update: wrayth-update. It asks before installing any new package.

Wrayth 1.4.0

Everything since 1.1.0, in one release.

New

• Audio: a bar readout and dropdown with output and input devices, volume, mute and a per-app mixer. New outputs (Bluetooth, USB, HDMI) become active automatically. Super + Shift + A cycles outputs.
• System tray, with each app's menu on right-click.
• Media in SIGNAL: what's playing, with controls, a per-source spectrum, and a progress bar you can click or drag to seek.
• Screenshots and screen recording, with privacy indicators for recording, screen sharing, microphone and camera.
• COMMS: notification history (memory only), Do Not Disturb, and quiet notifications while a game is fullscreen.
• Clipboard history (memory only by default) and a keybinds overlay that lets you rebind keys.
• Calendar, night light, input-method switching, launcher modes (calculator, emoji, commands), airplane mode and VPN.
• SYSTEM page: interface scale, reduced motion, game mode, idle timings, and optional window switcher and overview (off by default).
• Per-screen and live wallpapers, and an optional weather daemon.
• An admin password prompt in the lockscreen's style.

Improved

• A full visual pass for consistency, with crisp icons throughout.
• Lower idle CPU, and the lockscreen can no longer freeze or be bypassed by reloading.

Updating

• From 1.1.0: run wrayth-update. It shows the new packages it needs and asks before installing them.
• From 1.0.0: re-run the install command from the README once; after that, wrayth-update handles updates.
