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.
