v2.0.0
Highlights
- Project renamed to comply with the COSMIC trademark policy (#5):
- Package:
cosmic-flux→cosmic-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
- Package:
- Installing this package automatically removes the old
cosmic-fluxpackage 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
- 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.
- 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).
