Petit Mates v1.0.1

v1.0.1

Fixes

• macOS: a character sitting on a window no longer stays behind that window after you bring the window forward. It may slip behind for a moment, then returns to the front.

macOS Installation

1. Download the DMG for your Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel) and open it.
2. Drag Petit Mates.app to your Applications folder.
3. Launch — a menu bar icon appears.

Windows Installation

1. Download the zip and extract it.
2. Run Petit Mates.exe — a system tray icon appears.

Settings

• Frame rate can be set separately for AC power and battery: 10, 15, 30, or 60 fps. Defaults are 30 on AC and 15 on battery. The rate switches when the power source changes.

Characters

• Characters can sit on the left and right edges of a window. Pick one up with ⌘ + drag (Ctrl + drag on Windows) and drop it on a side edge.

macOS Installation

1. Download the DMG for your Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel) and open it.
2. Drag Petit Mates.app to your Applications folder.

v0.7.1

Petit Mates v0.7.1

v0.7.1

Fixes

• Characters no longer warp to the wrong corner after turning around on WindowTop — fixed using position-based edge detection instead of facing direction
• ⌥⌘+right-click context menu now opens reliably on macOS — a FlagsChanged monitor eliminates the ≤100 ms polling delay that could prevent the menu from appearing
• Surface candidates are now restricted to the primary screen, preventing characters from being placed on off-screen geometry in multi-monitor setups
• macOS: panel z-order and floating window level corrected for characters sitting on window surfaces

macOS Installation

1. Download the DMG for your Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel) and open it.
2. Drag Petit Mates.app to your Applications folder.
3. Launch — a menu bar icon appears.

Windows Installation

1. Download the zip and extract it.
2. Run Petit Mates.exe — a system tray icon appears.

macOS distribution

• Releases ship two DMGs — darwin-arm64 (Apple Silicon) and darwin-x86_64 (Intel) — instead of a single universal build. Download the file that matches your Mac (see Installation).

Settings

• Characters validation — In the Characters tab, at least one startup count must stay above zero. If two species are set to 0, the third cannot be set to 0 either. Invalid combinations are not saved when you close the Settings window.
• Settings UI updated (Settings v0.2.2). If you edit user.toml by hand with all three counts at 0, the engine still spawns one Bearded Dragon at startup (unchanged fallback).

macOS Installation

1. Download the DMG for your Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel) and open it.
2. Drag Petit Mates.app to your Applications folder.
3. Launch — a menu bar icon appears.

Windows Installation

1. Download the zip and extract it.

v0.6.0

v0.6.0

Settings

• Settings window — Open Settings… from the menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows) to edit user.toml in a GUI. Change character size, speech bubble font size, speech language (os / en / ja), speech on/off and interval, and weather (city name).
• Apply on close — Closing Settings window restarts Petit Mates so settings load cleanly at startup (including sprite scaling and weather). This replaces an abandoned runtime hot-reload approach that could not reliably update character size.
• Open Settings File — Hold Option (macOS) or Alt (Windows) while opening the menu to edit user.toml in your text editor; restart the app manually to apply changes.

Fixes

• If user.toml cannot be read or parsed at startup, a one-time warning is shown, and defaults are used instead of failing silently.
• Settings slider values saved as TOML floats (e.g. 300.0) are accepted when parsing integer fields such as sprite_size and font_size.

macOS Installation

1. Download the DMG and open it.
2. Drag Petit Mates.app to your Applications folder.
3. Launch — a menu bar icon appears.

Windows Installation

1. Download the zip and extract it.
2. Run Petit Mates.exe — a system tray icon appears.
3. Keep Settings.exe alongside the "Petit Mates.exe" in the same directory.
