v0.4.0-33

Build verification release - no source changes since v0.4.0-32.

Includes the same two features from v0.4.0-32:

• Viewer sees real desktop while black screen overlay is active on the host
• Known callers connect without a consent prompt

---

Download FlashDesk-setup.msi (recommended) or FlashDesk.exe for the portable build.

v0.4.0-32

Viewer sees real screen during black screen; known callers auto-accept

Black screen - viewer keeps the live view:
The overlay is now excluded from all screen-capture APIs via SetWindowDisplayAffinity(WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE). The person at the host machine sees the full Windows Update overlay; the operator's viewer continues to see the real desktop and can turn the overlay off whenever they choose.

Known callers connect without a prompt:
Once someone has accepted a connection from you, reconnecting is instant - no consent dialog on their end, no delay. First-time connections still show the full dialog.

v0.4.0-28 — Fix secondary hero card button

Site-only release — no new binary

The .exe and .msi are unchanged from v0.4.0-27.

What changed

site-v2.css — secondary hero download card button now visible:

The inline <style> block's .download-card:not(.is-primary) .download-card__btn rule (specificity [0,3,0]) was overriding the hero frosted-glass override ([0,2,0]), leaving the button background: transparent with dark color: var(--color-text) — invisible on the dark hero card.

Fixed by adding .hero-gradient-wrap .download-card:not(.is-primary) .download-card__btn at [0,4,0]: frosted-glass white background, #ECEFF3 text, semi-transparent border. Hover state included.

v0.4.0-27 — Hero visual upgrade

Site-only release — no new binary

This release ships the home page hero visual upgrade. The .exe and .msi files are unchanged from v0.4.0-26.

What changed

Homepage hero section (index.html + site-v2.css):

• Deeper midnight gradient — #0D0F12 → #0F1A12 (richer, more dramatic)
• Dot-grid texture overlay — 28 px pitch, 5.5 % white dots (subtle depth)
• Dual-radial glow — green spotlight (18 %) at top-right + blue hint (7 %) at bottom-left
• Circuit-node decorative SVG pinned to the right edge (hidden on mobile)
• one file in the h1 now renders in brand green (#2BD16B)
• Frosted-glass download cards on the dark hero background
• Screenshot elevated with ambient green glow ring
• CSS cache-busted via ?v=0427 — bypasses 7-day LiteSpeed max-age

Root cause of previous regression (fixed): First upload silently served an old 27 KB truncated site-v2.css; unstyled inline SVG pushed all content 1361 px below the fold.

v0.4.0-26 — Icon visual overhaul

What changed

Site-only release — no app code changed. The Windows installer and executable are functionally identical to v0.4.0-25.

Visual improvements (all 9 pages)

• All SVG icons: switched from stroke-linecap=butt/miter to round/round — the single biggest visual quality improvement; matches every professional icon library (Heroicons, Lucide, Tabler)
• Icon stroke weight: refined from 2px to 1.75px in sprite symbols — more polished, less crude
• i-eye: replaced square iris rectangle with a circle; better eye outline geometry
• i-user: replaced rectangular head with a circle; proper shoulder lines
• i-shield: added checkmark inside — now reads as secure/verified, not an empty polygon
• i-lock: added filled circle keyhole detail
• Feature cards (home page): 48×48 illustrative eye and user icons upgraded with circle geometry
• Nav chrome: hamburger, chevron, close ✕ all use round linecaps

No download needed

The app is identical to v0.4.0-25. This release is purely visual — site only.

v0.4.0-25 — SVG/icon upgrade, single installer download

Site-only release. No app code changed; exe is functionally identical to v0.4.0-24.

• Single Windows Installer download — one button, one file, no EXE option on the site
• All download CTAs now point to flashdesk.org/dl/FlashDesk-setup.msi directly
• Brand logo upgraded: dark-bg + green mark in header/drawer on every page
• site-v2.css green glow drop-shadow on all logo instances

v0.4.0-24 — per-page visual upgrade
