Plasmoid Visualizer v1.0 - Initial Release

Welcome to the first official release of Plasmoid Visualizer!

This project brings high-performance, aesthetically pleasing audio visualization to your Linux desktop, both as a standalone power-tool and a native KDE Plasma 6 widget.

Key Features

Stunning Visuals

  • High-Resolution FFT: Powered by KissFFT with an 8192-sample window for precise frequency detection.
  • Logarithmic Mapping: Bars are distributed naturally across the frequency spectrum, ensuring great visibility for both bass and treble.
  • Smooth Motion: Custom temporal smoothing (attack/decay) and spatial neighbor-averaging for that iconic "Trap Nation" look.
  • 256 Dynamic Bars: A dense, vibrant spectrum that reacts instantly to your music.

Dual-Mode Experience

  • Standalone App: A full-featured OpenGL application with a detailed ImGui control panel. Perfect for deep configuration and testing.
  • Plasma 6 Widget: A native Plasmoid built from the ground up for the latest KDE Plasma desktop. It lives on your desktop or panel and "just works."

Real-Time Audio

  • System Capture: Listen directly to your system audio, microphone, or any other input device.
  • Device Selection: Easily switch between audio inputs via the built-in dropdown menu.
  • Low Latency: Optimized C++ backend using miniaudio for minimal delay between sound and sight.

Pre-Configured Defaults

We've tuned the initial experience to look great out of the box:

  • Gain: 0.100
  • Falloff: 0.500
  • Bar Height: 0.100
  • Default Device: Automatically attempts to select your primary headset/output.

Installation

Check out the README.md for detailed build and installation instructions for both the standalone app and the Plasma widget.

Made with ❤️ and a lot of coffee. Enjoy the music!
