Highlights

  • Project renamed to comply with the COSMIC trademark policy (#5):
    • Package: cosmic-fluxcosmic-ext-flux
    • Binaries: cosmic-ext-flux-daemon, cosmic-ext-applet-flux
    • App ID / D-Bus: com.system76.*io.github.franz_net.*
    • Display name: Flux — live video wallpapers for the COSMIC™ desktop
  • Installing this package automatically removes the old cosmic-flux package and its systemd service
  • Existing settings are migrated automatically on first start — no reconfiguration needed
  • Auto FPS (#4): new "Auto FPS (match source)" toggle plays the video at its native framerate — now the default for new installs; the manual slider remains as a power-saving cap and now adjusts in steps of 1 (so 24 fps is selectable)
  • Fixed: wallpaper not restoring after login (#2): pressing Play after a Stop now re-enables autostart, so the wallpaper comes back at the next login
  • French translation for the applet (thanks @ligenix!)

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v2.0.0

Upgrading from cosmic-flux? Two manual steps

  1. Re-add the applet to your panel (one-time): the App ID changed, so remove the old entry and add Flux via Settings > Desktop > Panel > Applets.
  2. If your wallpaper doesn't come back after the install, the systemd handoff may not have run (fixed in the next release). Run:
    systemctl --user stop cosmic-flux-daemon
    systemctl --user enable --now cosmic-ext-flux-daemon

Your settings and wallpaper are migrated automatically — if the wallpaper doesn't resume at next login, just press Play once in the applet (this also fixes configs affected by #2).
