v1.0.1

✂️ Sticker 1.0.1 — first public release

Turn any image into a floating desktop sticker — background removed by on-device AI, in one right-click.

📦 Install

Download StickerSetup-1.0.1.exe below and run it. No admin rights needed — it installs per-user and adds "Open as sticker" to your right-click menu (under Show more options on Windows 11).

⚠️ Windows SmartScreen will warn you because this release isn't code-signed yet — click More info → Run anyway. Signing is on the roadmap.

The first sticker you make triggers a one-time AI model download (~180 MB). After that, everything runs fully offline.

✨ Highlights

• One right-click — any image in Explorer becomes a floating, draggable cutout
• 100% local AI — background removal on your GPU via DirectML (CPU fallback); no uploads, no accounts
• True click-through — your mouse passes through transparent areas to whatever's underneath
• Paste as sticker — Ctrl+Alt+V turns whatever's on your clipboard into a sticker
• Session persistence — stickers survive reboots and come back exactly where you left them
• Pin mode — make a sticker fully click-through and forget it's a window at all
• Three swappable AI models — fast general-purpose (default), people/portraits, or maximum quality; re-matte any sticker from its right-click menu
• Rotate, flip, resize, opacity, save-as-PNG — all from the keyboard or scroll wheel

🛠️ For tinkerers

Building from source still gets you the extras: the top-level Win11 context-menu entry (sparse MSIX package, needs Developer Mode) and the original Python prototype. See the README.

🐛 Known limitations

• Installer build is x64 only for now (ARM64 planned)
• Unsigned — expect the SmartScreen prompt above
• The installer registers the classic context-menu entry only; the top-level Win11 menu item requires Developer Mode and the setup_modern_menu.ps1 script
