What's New in v0.8.0
Enhanced desktop integration with maximized window reservation, a Spotlight-style Quick Launcher, tray indicators, 5 new widgets, and automated profile switching.
Window Reservation & Quick Launcher

- Spotlight-Style Quick Launcher: Press
Win + Alt + Spaceto summon a clean search palette above the dock. Search applications, open windows, settings, recent documents, and perform quick inline calculations.
System Indicators & Window Interactions

- Interactive Previews: Aero Peek hover support, mouse-wheel thumbnail cycling, and integrated media playback controls (Play/Pause) on supported apps.
New Productivity Widgets
- GPU Monitor: Real-time graphics processing load and VRAM utilization matching Task Manager metrics (available as percentages, rings, or sparkline bars).
- Display Brightness: Integrated DDC/CI monitor and laptop screen brightness slider with Night Light status.
- Quick Toggles: One-click Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles.
- Screen Capture: Instant region snipping or full-screen capture saved directly to Pictures › Screenshots.
- To Do: Local offline task management or bi-directional synchronization with Todoist.

Automated Profiles & Web Widgets
