- 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.
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)
- Add on_clicked handler to search button in panel
- Add set_spotlight_toggle() method on Panel
- Connect spotlight.toggle in main.py after both are created
_check_icon_to_type now queries Gtk.IconTheme for the icon name
(with -symbolic suffix) before falling back to a hardcoded mapping.
_get_icon_for_device simplified since type property now returns
GTK icon names directly.
Add Pomodoro component with UI controls and state management,
modify Panel to instantiate and cache Pomodoro and TodoList widgets,
hook datetime button to toggle Pomodoro and handle right‑click on todo list,
extend destroy logic to cleanly close Pomodoro and Todo instances.
Added a new window class that integrates with the capture service, provides a toolbar of tool buttons for region, screen, window, and recording modes, includes an options button to toggle settings, and implements save directory selection, delay, cursor, thumbnail, and microphone controls. The implementation follows the existing widget architecture and updates related modules to expose the new functionality.
