[3.3.0-Loki-release] - 2026-04-25

    • MangoColorsTab.qml
    • MangoDecorationsTab.qml

  • Expanded Calendar modal/event modal behavior for day/event workflows.
  • Added TaskBarCalendarPopout.qml for quick calendar access from the TaskBar.

• Translations / i18n

  • Added a full translations pipeline under quickshell/translations/ including workflow docs, extraction scripts, template JSON, and a generated settings search index.
  • Added baseline translation resources and PO export bundles for multiple locales.
  • Integrated translation plumbing via updates to Common/I18n.qml and Settings data indexing.
  • Added a uiLanguage setting for overriding UI language (fallback uses system locale / English strings).

• Notifications settings

  • Added a dedicated Settings tab for notifications (Modules/Settings/NotificationsTab.qml).

• Media UI surfaces

  • Added a dedicated MediaPopup.qml widget.
  • Added new media widgets for Dock, MiniPanel, and TopBar (media + media display variants).

Improvements

• UI scaling / responsiveness

  • Standardized bar sizing to use a single effective scale factor (global compositor scale × per-module scale) and rounded pixel math (spx(...)) to reduce fractional-pixel drift.
    • Dock now uses uiScale = (Appearance.combinedScale) * (dockScale) for consistent height, padding, margins, and widget area widths; auto-hide trigger area and slide distances scale correctly.
    • MiniPanel now computes implicitHeight in real pixels via spx(...) so the exclusive zone matches the rendered height (avoids “wrong reserved space” when scaling).
  • Decoupled app drawer content scaling from bar placement scaling so the drawer looks the same regardless of whether it’s opened from Dock/TaskBar/TopBar:
    • Placement uses the bar’s real size (global×bar scale), while drawer content uses (global×appDrawerScale) only.
    • Fixed popout positioning to respect floating bar margins/exclusive zones (prevents clipped corners/shadows).
  • Updated calendar popout placement/scaling so bar thickness is treated as already-in-screen-px, and only offsets are scaled by the global compositor scale.

• Settings

  • Major expansion of display configuration UI (DisplayConfigTab.qml) and related monitor configuration widgets.
  • Updated Settings content/sidebar wiring and extended template selection behavior (TemplatesTab.qml), including MangoWM-related template support.
  • Expanded Settings content/sidebar behavior and extended SettingsData indexing to support translations and the new tabs.
  • Further polish to opacity settings (OpacityTab.qml).
  • Added new styling controls used by scaled popouts/widgets (e.g. app drawer border toggles/thickness/opacity and media popup opacity/border settings).

• Shell / UI

  • Improved workspace switchers across Dock, MiniPanel, TaskBar, and TopBar.
  • Refined Dock app buttons/apps behavior, app drawers, widget layout/spacing, and context menus across surfaces.
  • Added multiple new bar widgets and reworked sizing to keep icons, spacing, and popouts consistent across different UI scale values.

• Notifications

  • Added configurable notification pipeline + styling knobs in SettingsData (limits, rate limiting, animation timing, popup width/height caps, margins, radius, stack spacing, opacity/border tuning).

• System updates

  • Improved SystemUpdateService.qml behavior and UI wiring in update popouts across surfaces.
  • Follow-up tweaks to DotfilesUpdateService.qml.

• Matugen / themes

  • Replaced third-party template/theme assets with Event Horizon variants:
    • Renamed “dms-theme” → eh-theme and updated VS Code theme artifacts (eventshell-*).
    • Swapped dank.* templates to event.* equivalents (Emacs/Zed/JSON base).
  • Updated Matugen worker scripting and added helper scripts.

• MangoWM

  • Follow-up tweaks to MangoWM matugen-aware colors, decorations, and keybinds.
  • Added MangoWM packaging/temporary build artifacts under quickshell/.tmp-mango/ (spec + source archive) and a planning doc (quickshell/Calendarplan.md).

Bug Fixes

• Notifications

  • Fixed and refined notification popup behavior and popup manager logic (focus/stacking/layout improvements).
  • Reworked notification popup sizing/placement to avoid relying on live window resize:
    • Use a full-screen surface and position a sized “card” inside it (more reliable across compositors).
    • Stack popups using configured max card height + gap to make stacking deterministic across scales.

• MangoWM compatibility

  • Follow-up fixes for MangoWM env/execs/keybinds/monitor behavior and screenshot tooling.

• Control Center

  • Cleanup/consistency tweaks to CompoundPill across Control Center surfaces.
  • Removed stale/duplicate split documentation files where no longer used.

  • Added/updated THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md and clarified licensing pointers in LICENSE.
