NorviOS 1.3.4

@spencernorton spencernorton released this 23 Sep 11:50

1.3.4

  • The README shows how to make a drawer in the launcher: right-click, New
    Drawer, name it, drag apps onto it.

1.3.3

  • The README shows XDock's app launcher — opening it from the dock, All Apps,
    and search — which the earlier screenshots left out.

1.3.2

  • The workspace-switching animation shows the same glass Files window on
    every workspace. Its Media workspace had opened an empty folder, and GNOME's
    "Folder is Empty" page paints its own opaque background, so it looked like a
    different theme.

1.3.1

  • The screenshots now show the whole NorviOS desktop — XDock, the Space Bar
    workspaces, Transparent Top Bar, GEweather, the lock screen and the
    power-only system menu — instead of a stock Ubuntu desktop with this
    repository's branding on it. All were captured on a fresh Ubuntu 26.04
    virtual machine with nothing personal in them.
  • The README names every extension on screen, says which are forks and of
    what, and says plainly that they are not published yet.
  • No installer or stylesheet changed.

1.3.1–1.3.3 were not published separately; their changes ship here.

NorviOS 1.3.0

Choose a tag to compare

@spencernorton spencernorton released this 23 Sep 11:50
  • First public release, on GitHub, under the name NorviOS.
  • The window glass now works on a fresh machine. Blur my Shell ships with
    application blur off, so the desktop installer turns it on, and sets the
    window opacity to 255 so that the stylesheet alone decides what is
    translucent and text stays fully opaque. Both values are recorded first and
    restored on --uninstall. Earlier releases relied on blur already being on.
  • Upgrading keeps --uninstall exact: a record written by an earlier release
    gains the two new keys at the values they hold before this release changes
    them, and the record is rewritten in one rename.
  • The desktop installer also finds a Blur my Shell installed system-wide, not
    only one under your home directory.
  • The list of running GTK3 processes printed after an install now says that
    background services in it have no window and can be ignored.
  • Verified end to end on a clean Ubuntu 26.04 virtual machine: boot splash,
    login screen, About logo, glass, and both uninstallers.
  • Licence and provenance: GPL-3.0-or-later for the code, with the NorviTech
    artwork under its own terms in NOTICE.
  • Community files, issue forms, a GitHub CI workflow (contrast check,
    installer tests, shellcheck), and the design notes moved from the README to
    docs/how-it-works.md.
