The refactor introduces persistent indicator widgets and updates how visibility and layout are managed based on configuration changes.
New Features
- Added BatteryIndicator, NetworkIndicator and BluetoothIndicator as persistent panel children.
- Implemented visibility toggling for each indicator according to configuration and battery presence.
- Added debug prints when an indicator’s visibility changes or a battery is not detected.
Enhancements
- Updated dropdown actions to use `get_about_window()` and `get_settings_window()` for About and System Settings entries.
- Switched layout rebuilding to use `get_config_all()` and now only rebuilds when specific keys actually change.
- Removed manual recreation of indicators; visibility is controlled via `show()`/`set_visible()`.
- Consolidated changed‑key detection and added logging of rebuild reasons.
- Streamlined config key checks to use `config_data.get(..., True)`.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed BatteryIndicator to hide and log when no battery is detected.
- Corrected use of `config_data.get()` with appropriate fallback values.
- Updated layout updates to use `show()` and trigger a resize queue instead of `show_all()`.
- New Settings window implementation with styling and layout
- Updated visibility configuration to use direct configuration keys
- Simplified layer‑shell positioning logic and improved reliability
Enhancements- Refactored MouseCapture geometry calculations for cleaner code
- Integrated size‑allocate handler to maintain input region sync
- Added global About window singleton and improved toggle behavior
Bug Fixes
- Fixed potential index errors in MouseCapture coordinate calculations- Resolved missing imports and path issues for icon assets
Remove several default configuration entries that are no longer required, cleaning up dead code and reducing configuration surface.

- Bug Fixes
- Resolve race condition where reload‑pending flag could be left set
- Ensure callbacks are notified on every reload request
- Fix stale comparison of config values in `has_changed`

The updated regex now matches non‑numeric unit prefixes, and units are normalized before conversion, improving accuracy and preventing mismatches.
- Bug Fixes: Fixed incorrect unit detection that caused failed conversions.
- Enhancements: Added unit cleaning (`converter.clean_type`) to standardize input.
- New Features: None.
- New Features
- Incremented project version to 0.2.0
- Enhancements
- Fixed image reference to use src/assets/modus.png

Introduce helper functions to invoke the primary application and lock entry points, enhancing modularity and testability.
New Features
- run_app(): launches the main application.
- run_lock(): launches the lock module.
Enhancements
- Refactor start.py to isolate command execution logic.
This change adds a mechanism to refresh the todo list dynamically when the underlying service updates, improving UI responsiveness and user experience. It also updates documentation and removes deprecated files.
- New Features:
- Added `_refresh_todos` method to rebuild the todo list when `get_todo_service().todos` changes.
- Introduced `TodoListCapture` class for mouse capture handling of the todo list window.
- Enhancements:
- Updated README with corrected image paths, installation tips, and manual installation commands.
- Introduced `start.py` to launch the application or lock mode.
- Removed deprecated `config.json` and `debug_memory.py`.
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixed lock screen screenshot path in README.
- delete gamemode.sh, hyprpicker.sh, and screen-capture.sh as they are no longer used
- cleanup of dead code simplifies project structure and reduces maintenance overhead
Replace transparent background with theme variable and tidy up CSS.

Changed the default layer used by `create_dropdown_with_capture` from `"bottom"` to `"top"` and updated the call site accordingly. Added safety checks to set `_pointing_widget` on indicator windows when they exist, preventing potential errors when the windows are not created.
- Enhancements:
- Updated default `layer` parameter in `create_dropdown_with_capture` to `"top"`.
- Bug Fixes:
- Ensured `BluetoothIndicator`, `NetworkIndicator`, and `BatteryIndicator` properly assign `_pointing_widget` to their respective buttons when the associated windows are present.
Why: Refactor mouse capture logic to use robust input‑region handling, add support for multi‑click events, and align layer usage with the passed layer parameter; update dropdown to use an Escape keybinding instead of a button‑press hide.
New Features:
- Support button‑press, double‑click, and triple‑click events.
- Introduce `_get_child_window_bounds` helper and window‑local coordinate detection for accurate click placement.
- Add cursor‑feedback styling updates on the trigger widget.
Enhancements:
- Make overlay layer configurable via the passed `layer` argument.
- Replace direct `button-press-event` connection with an Escape keybinding in the dropdown.
- Update imports to use `Gdk` and new utilities (`HyprlandWithMonitors`, `modus_service`).
Bug Fixes:
- Resolve race condition that could hide child windows on external clicks.
- Ensure immediate hide when clicking outside the child window to avoid timing issues.
- Correct click‑inside detection logic and properly consume events.
- Removed outdated TODO comment and placeholder signal definition that caused type conversion errors
- Added Signal with explicit GObject.TYPE_INT64 argument type and correct parameter extraction using .get_int64()
- Ensured reliable emission of seeked signal to upstream DBus handler

- Early exit when no search terms are available
- Enhancements
- Refactor search term collection and normalization for better readability and performance
- Add handling for common wrapper executables to prevent false positives
- Implement fuzzy containment matching for partial name matches
- Bug Fixes
- Fix return logic when search terms are empty to avoid unintended None returns
- Correct order of priority checks to prioritize exact matches over fuzzy matches
- Refactor `_get_icon_from_desktop_file` to ignore file errors and fallback to the default icon.
- Replace regex‑based lookup in `_get_desktop_file` with normalized search IDs and explicit filename matching.
- Add support for matching `StartupWMClass`/`Name` fields within desktop files.
Enhancements
- Improve icon theme lookup in `_compositor_find_icon` with suffix handling and direct matches.
- Add defensive checks for empty `app_id` and exception handling throughout.
Bug Fixes
