v0.3.1

Needs lys-wm v0.4.1 for reduced motion over IPC and the look it was tuned against.

The default look changed. The bar is a floating frosted bar with workspaces, tray, notifications and power, there's a built-in wallpaper, and the OSD matches notifications. docs/guide/editing-config.md lists the keys for the old look.

Added

• A Spotlight-style launcher. lys-shell launcher opens a search panel across apps, windows, files, clipboard, emoji, settings and system commands, with a calculator, an actions panel, script commands and a web fallback. rofi flags keep their own code path. See docs/guide/launcher.md. Bind it yourself if your compositor config replaces the defaults: exec lys-shell launcher.
• lys-settings --page.
• The portal serves org.freedesktop.appearance reduced-motion.

Changed

• On lys-wm, animations.reduced_motion there owns reduced motion, and lys-shell's animations.reduced-motion warns that it has no effect.
• launcher.monitor now works for both the panel and rofi sessions.

Not verified

The panel's blur and spring motion haven't been seen on a display. The Hyprland, niri and mango window backends haven't run live.

v0.3.0

Needs lys-wm v0.4.0 for Esc, frost and the minimized state.

Changed

• bar.dropdown-opacity now defaults to 75 instead of 100, because at 100 a dropdown asks for no blur. Set it back to 100 for solid dropdowns.
• On lys-wm, Esc closes an open dropdown even when you haven't clicked into it. That Esc doesn't reach the focused window.

Added

• Bar dropdowns frost over the desktop.
• The lys-wm integration reports whether a window is minimized.

v0.2.2

Fixed

• Bar dropdowns no longer take the keyboard while open. Keys stay with the focused window until you click into the dropdown. A dropdown that focuses its own input as it opens, such as the Bitwarden vault, still takes them from the start.
• Dropdowns play their exit animation however they close, including a click outside and Esc.
• With dropdown-autohide: false, a menu inside a dropdown no longer kills the bar with a protocol error.

v0.2.1

Adds the greeter's wording for why a login was refused, and moves to lys-lib, lys-secrets and lys-ui at this round's commits.
