Changes since last release
Release Notes - v2.8.3
✨ New & Shiny
- Smooth Transitions: Added slick easing animations for window borders. No more jarring jumps; it's all smooth motion now.
- Frosted Glass Everywhere: Search results and app folders got a major style upgrade with that modern frosted-glass look.
Visual & UI Overhaul
- Organized Chaos: The Preferences menu is actually readable now. It’s split into Behavior and Appearance pages with helpful subtitles.
- Aesthetic Tweaks: Refined the workspace thumbnails, updated icons, and adjusted transparency levels for a cleaner vibe.
- Better Blurs: Decoupled the overview blur effects into their own settings, making the whole thing feel more native and less "patched together."
Stability & Compatibility
- GNOME 50 Ready: Improved how the extension talks to GNOME, specifically for overview controls and element lookups.
- Grid Safety: Added checks to stop tiny, minimum-sized windows from breaking your layout.
- Modernized Code: Updated the internal logic (ES2022) and modularized the stylesheet system to make things faster and more reliable.
