Added

  • Linux: real transparent companion window on X11/Xwayland. momPanel now
    routes onto X11 when a display is available (through Xwayland, inside the normal
    Wayland session — no Xorg login needed), so companion mode is genuinely
    see-through to the live desktop instead of a simulated wallpaper backdrop.
    Diagnosed and verified live on the target (Zorin, GNOME 46). Set
    MOMPANEL_FORCE_WAYLAND=1 to opt out and keep the opaque + wallpaper-sim
    behaviour. As a bonus, the remembered window position now takes effect on Linux
    (Wayland ignored client-side positioning). Windows/macOS keep their existing
    real transparent window.
  • Companion: frosted-glass panels. Each panel's background can now be Clear,
    Solid, or Frosted glass (a blurred copy of the wallpaper). About → General; the
    three are mutually exclusive.
  • Companion: scrolling alert ticker (opt-in). An alternative to the pop-up
    attention cards — a slim, severity-coloured ticker (yellow for a warning, red
    for a problem) that gently scrolls the same message and pauses on hover. Smaller
    and less intrusive; lays out static and wrapping under reduced-motion. About →
    General.

Fixed

  • Companion keep-below made the window uninteractive on GNOME. Pinning the
    panel below other windows used _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW, which on Mutter stops the
    window receiving clicks and blocks Super+drag moves. Keep-below is now disabled
    on Linux (it was a no-op on Wayland anyway); companion is a normal, interactive
    window there. Still applies on Windows/macOS. A memory-escalation "Open" also
    releases the pin so the panel can surface over an occluding window.
  • Companion attention card is now opaque so a warning (e.g. a printer alert)
    stays readable over a see-through sky.

Changed

  • The main window is created in code rather than tauri.conf.json, so its
    transparency can be decided at runtime per platform/session. The Linux
    tauri.linux.conf.json override is retired.

Installs and updates automatically from this release. Linux/Zorin: download the AppImage (the self-updating bundle). Windows: run the _x64-setup.exe. macOS: open the .dmg and drag momPanel to Applications; on first launch right-click the app and choose Open (it isn't Apple-notarized yet).
