- spinner now checks exit code and shows cross on failure
- Removed unused print_packages function
- Fixed launch: backgrounded uwsm always returned 0, else branch was
dead code. Now runs in background and checks with pgrep.
Added 13 packages required by the codebase:
- networkmanager, network-manager-applet: network management + GI bindings
- blueman: bluetooth manager GUI
- qalculate-gtk: spotlight calculator engine
- wtype: Wayland keyboard paste simulation
- pipewire, libpulse: audio playback and volume control
- pciutils: GPU detection in About dialog
- gtk-layer-shell: Wayland layer-shell for popup windows
- librsvg: SVG rendering for dock icons
- flatpak: flatpak app registration for global menu
- wayland: wayland-client/wayland-scanner for app-capture build
- gobject-introspection: GIR compilation for app-capture typelib
CI Arch container doesn't have g-i installed. The GIR/typelib is only
needed for Python bindings — shared library builds fine without it.
Both gir dependency and g-ir-compiler are now required: false.
Without tick_widget the Animator falls back to GLib.timeout_add which
fires even when the widget is hidden, wasting CPU on invisible scroll
windows (WiFi/BT connection lists).
Handler was connected twice — once in __init__ and again in
_initialize_resources. Every device-ready event fired on_network_ready
twice. Removed the __init__ connection (the lazy one is correct).
- shlex.quote() in kill_process prevents shell injection
- find_binary now uses shutil.which() instead of spawning 'which'
- Add shell_split() helper for environment.py
- Remove inline import re from escape_markup_text
- get_connectivity was compared as method object (always True), wired
icon always showed no-route when activated
- NM import now catches GLib.Error and ImportError, not just ValueError
- Sets NM = None on failure instead of leaving undefined
- Move _initialized flag to end of __init__ so partial construction
leaves the singleton retryable
- Add unregister_reload_callback() method and off_config_change() helper
- Enables proper cleanup of reload listeners on widget destroy
Replace @foreground, @primary, @error, @outline, @shadow, @secondary
and their var() equivalents with semantic glass-* tokens across 22 files.
Colors without glass equivalents (@on-primary, @cyan, etc.) left as-is.
- Add osd_show_audio/osd_show_brightness methods on OSDWindow
- Register as standalone functions in __main__ for fabric-cli exec
- Keybinds now chain fabric-cli exec after wpctl/brightnessctl
- Emit brightness signal on threshold bypass for small changes
- Drop rfkill from bluetooth toggle (redundant with D-Bus Powered,
was causing stale cache on next read)
- Force toggle switch and icon to target state immediately after
setting, don't wait for D-Bus callback
- Fix nightlight icon race: flip local is_active instead of
re-querying async kill state
- Guard wifi on_network_ready against ethernet-first device loop
(emits device-ready per device; wifi_device None on first)
- Share single NetworkClient between main panel and wifi popup
(eliminates async-init race of two independent instances)
- Strip connected: prefix from wlan label initial display
- Add _pending_toggle pattern to wifi notify handler to
suppress stale-cache revert; same for bluetooth switch lock
Add libcairo2-dev and pkg-config to the dependency-audit.yml workflow so that pycairo can be installed correctly on CI runners. This prevents the build error when installing Python packages that require the Cairo library.
When control center hides, PlayerBox.suspend() blocks all signal
handlers. On resume(), clearing the flag wasn't enough — stale
state lingered until next fabricator poll (up to 5s). Now resume()
immediately syncs play/pause icon, metadata, and artwork.
on_entry_changed uses @debounce(300). When user presses Enter before
debounce fires, _current_results is empty so nothing activates.
Now on_entry_accept triggers an immediate search_single when active
plugin has no results, and activates the first result on callback.
_on_entry_accept checked _active_plugin_entry before _current_results.
Keyword plugins (emoji, clipboard) are always active when prefix typed,
so on_submit (no-op base) swallowed Enter before result.action() fired.
Now results are checked first. on_submit only as fallback when no results.
- wallpapers_dir: read from config, fallback ~/Pictures/Wallpapers
- osd: skip show_audio_osd/show_brightness_osd when disabled
- window_switcher: skip show_switcher when disabled
- global_menu_cache_enabled: bypass GTK class cache when false
- global_menu_method: control discovery strategies (auto/hyprland/dbus)
All keys added to constants.py defaults, settings UI, and config.toml
Add CaptureNotifier import and send notifications when caffeine is enabled or disabled. Introduce is_active() static method to check inhibition status via PID file and process cmdline. Replace previous _read_pid() usage with is_active(). Enhance _humanize to properly format "0s" and hour-only durations. Update activation logic to use the new method and trigger appropriate notifications.
Add support for managing systemd‑inhibit processes via a PID file; introduce _caffeine_is_active helper; modify _check_initial_states and toggle_caffeine to start/stop inhibition and update UI icons and labels.
Modified default active app name in ModusService initialization and update logic to "Modus" to align with the project's branding and avoid confusion with macOS Finder.
Remove legacy color definition blocks and replace with new glass-surface, glass-panel, and interactive state tokens. Update all component styles to reference new variables.
Uses systemd-inhibit with a pinned sleep process and PID file so
the inhibition survives Spotlight dismiss. Supports on/off and
duration presets (5m/15m/30m/1h) plus free-form parsing.
SpotlightWindow now exposed via SpotlightService (fabric Service) on the
session bus (dev.modus.Spotlight /Toggle). On-demand process forwards to
the running instance over DBus instead of a unix socket; still quits on
dismiss. Behaviour unchanged.
Weather: move networking, caching and scheduling out of the Weather widget
into a WeatherService singleton. Reuse one httpx.Client for the app lifetime,
drop the 4-worker pool and the multi-entry dict caches (single-value fields),
query Nominatim only on location change, remove debounce and the /tmp-style
polling. Widget now observes the `updated` signal and never hits the network.
GameMode: turn the standalone CLI script into a GameModeService (Service
singleton) exposing an `enabled` Property and `changed` signal. Drive Hyprland
via `hyprctl eval hl.config(...)` instead of the deprecated `hyprctl keyword`
batch (rejected under the Lua config in Hyprland 0.55+), read state via
`hl.get_config`, and keep `hyprctl reload` for disable. Fix game-mode state
parsing so unrecognized `hl.get_config` output no longer falsely reports
active. BatteryWidget's GameModeButton now subscribes to the service.
Remove now-unused LOCATION_CACHE_TIMEOUT.
Split the monolithic ScreenCapture service into focused Screenshot and
ScreenRecorder services behind a pluggable capture backend.
- Add shared/capture.py: CaptureBackend abstraction + HyprlandCaptureBackend
(hyprshot/grim/slurp/wf-recorder) and reusable CaptureNotifier
- Add services/screenshot.py and services/screenrecorder.py with Fabric
properties/signals; recording state kept in memory (no /tmp files)
- Keep services/screencapture.py as a backwards-compatible facade so
existing widgets and signals keep working
- Resolve monitors via Hyprland IPC helpers in services/modus.py instead of
spawning `hyprctl monitors -j` per capture
- Implement real window recording (slurp window boxes) and split the
record-window / record-region UI mappings
- Register screenshot_service / screen_recorder_service singletons
- Remove dead src/utils/inhibit.py duplicate; minor modus.lua quoting fix
- mpris: native MediaArt cache lookup, dedupe play/pause emission, safe
cleanup, artwork polling for already-playing browser players, drop
os.system seek fallback
- spotlight: scope plugin keyword and detect() matches to a single plugin
via search_single instead of global search; register clipboard keywords
(clip/clipboard)
- Update ruff to 0.15.2 in requirements.txt
- Add pre-commit to requirements.txt
- Update uv.lock with new dependencies
- Add config/plugins/ to gitignore, remove src/window/launcher
- Expand architecture overview with plugin system details
- Update configuration guide with new spotlight settings
- Improve FAQs with troubleshooting tips
- Remove docs/README.md (content merged into main README)
