What's New in v0.5.0

Introducing dock folders (stacks), fan-out spring wave animations, and organizational tools for decluttering your desktop.


Folders & Group Stacks

  • Organize Applications & Widgets: Group related applications, development tools, games, or utilities into compact, expandable folders.
  • Dynamic 2x2 Grid Previews: Collapsed folder icons display a clean 2x2 preview of their first four contained items.
  • Drag-to-Group: Drag items directly onto an existing folder icon to add them instantly.

Staggered Spring Wave Animations

  • Fan-Out Expansion: Clicking a folder triggers an arc or fan-out popover with fluid physics-based spring wave animation.
  • Orientation Awareness: Folders adapt their expansion direction based on the dock position (bottom, top, left, right).
  • Custom Accents & Management: Right-click folders to customize names, assign accent colors, reorder contents, or select Ungroup all to dissolve items back to the dock.

Enhancements & Fixes

  • Added recursive item resolution in the configuration engine for nested folder items.
  • Empty folders are automatically cleaned up when all items are removed.
  • Seamless compatibility with both Dark and Light theme glass backdrops.
