v2.2.0
Lights Out is out, themes are in. A proper theme switcher with a pile of bundled color schemes, replacing the old hardcoded dark-mode hack - now actually working the same way everywhere, not just on Plasma. You know what they say, 6th time's the charm.
New
- Theme switcher in Settings → Appearance, with two pickers: Theme for normal windowed mode, and Dark Theme for whatever Lights Out and Big Screen mode should use.
- 10 bundled color schemes: Vermouth Dark, Deep, Tokyo Night, Cobalt, 2077, Rose, Magenta, Sage, Schoolboard, and Neon - plus System, which just follows your desktop's own scheme.
- Lights Out is back as a sidebar toggle. It now just switches to the Dark Theme without leaving windowed mode - a quick session toggle that always starts off when Vermouth restarts, instead of a saved setting with its own hardcoded palette.
- Big Screen mode applies the Dark Theme automatically for the duration too.
- Added a Buy Me a Coffee link, for anyone who wants to.
Fixes
- Color scheme switching now actually works correctly on GNOME, plain AppImage, and Flatpak - not just Plasma. Turns out that was a deep rabbit hole.
- Returning to the System theme from Lights Out or the Theme picker works reliably on Flatpak now, where it previously just... did nothing.
- Sidebar menu items, the view-type menu, and assorted icons no longer show up unstyled on first open on GNOME/AppImage.
- Fixed a SELinux issue in the local packaging script that could make container-based RPM/DEB/AppImage builds fail to read the repo.
Notes
- If you're packaging or building from source: this release adds a dependency on KColorScheme (and transitively KConfig) from KDE Frameworks.
