Lunifier 2.1.7 Release Notes

Lunifier 2.1.7 introduces major reliability enhancements for peripheral switching, eliminates cursor stutter/jank during screen boundary tracking, refines light mode visual contrast across all controls and device lists, and ensures the Linux service persists in the background with system tray integration.

Highlights & Fixes in v2.1.7

1. Keyboard Switching Reliability

  • Multi-Burst Wake Transmission: Battery-saving keyboards (MX Keys, Craft, ERGO K860, etc.) often sleep between keystrokes. When switching, Lunifier now emits 3 successive burst packets spaced 25ms apart to wake the peripheral's RF transceiver and guarantee acknowledgement.
  • Keyboard-First Switching Order: When multiple devices share a Unifying or Logi Bolt USB receiver, keyboards are now commanded before the active mouse, preventing RF queue bottlenecks.
  • Dongle NVRAM Pairing Pre-Scan: Reads the receiver internal pairing table (0x10, 0xFF, 0x83, 0xB5) to detect paired slots and WPIDs without RF timeouts, ensuring sleeping devices are permanently retained across rescans.

2. Default Cooldown Reduced to 500ms

  • Lowered default switch cooldown from 2500ms to 500ms across Windows and Linux.
  • Enables responsive and prompt re-switching without annoying delays when touching border boundaries. Slider range expanded to 200ms–5000ms.

3. Eliminated Mouse Pointer Jank & Stutter

  • Changed background edge tracking thread priority from AboveNormal to Normal to prevent scheduler preemption of Windows DWM and mouse driver polling.
  • Tightened edge tolerance from 5px to 2px, preventing cursor encounters with scrollbars and window edges from falsely triggering boundary hits.
  • Removed the arbitrary 300ms hold bypass that caused unintended switches while scrolling or dragging windows.
  • Decreased inward cursor stepback from 160px to 60px, eliminating jarring cursor repositioning.

4. Light Mode Contrast & Styling Overhaul

  • Permanently eliminated black text on blue accent buttons by scoping an explicit white TextBlock style within Button.ContentPresenter.Resources.
  • Replaced low-contrast light sky blue (#38BDF8) and light gray (#94A3B8) in device and peer lists with dynamic theme-aware colors (#0284C7 and #334155 in light mode).
  • Improved overall light theme palette: secondary text (#334155), section headers (#0369A1), and live logs (#0F172A) for high WCAG AAA readability.

5. Linux Background Service Persistence & System Tray

  • Added native D-Bus StatusNotifierItem (SNI) and DBusMenu integration (tray.py).
  • Closing the Linux main window now hides the window and keeps the Lunifier service running smoothly in the background.
  • System tray menu allows restoring/presenting the main window or cleanly quitting the application.
