Changelog

v1.7.4

LatestJune 21, 2026

Fixed Preferences opening as a collapsed sheet on the activation screen — now opens a full resizable Settings window.
License activation shows immediate feedback (spinner, success, or error) instead of failing silently.
Keyforge API errors are surfaced to the user; license keys are trimmed before activation.

June 18, 2026

Fixed lag when applying weather wallpapers from the library detail sheet — now uses the same fast path as the editor.
Reuses cached Ken Burns loops and VersionLoops instead of regenerating on every apply.
Shows the source still instantly while the video layer prepares; no more black flash on switch.

Debounced screen-parameter feedback that blocked main-thread apply for several seconds.
Validated stale composite video paths and fall back to loop generation when files are missing.
Unified library detail apply through WallpaperApplyService (DRY with editor and menu bar).

June 17, 2026

Baked weather-effects video for static wallpapers with rain/snow on the Lock Screen; desktop keeps live Metal FX.
Fixed static+weather versioning save, select, and restore.

Centralized wallpaper playback state (WallpaperPlaybackState, WallpaperApplyService).

Fixed Metal offline renderer crash (compute/render encoder ordering).

June 9, 2026

Metal-rendered weather effects in the wallpaper editor: animated rain and cursor-interactive snow.
Add rain or snow from the Layers panel; tune intensity, wind, gravity, and cursor interaction in the inspector.
Weather effects run on the live desktop wallpaper after Apply — snow reacts to your mouse while keeping the desktop click-through.

February 20, 2026

Save multiple versions of any wallpaper project with full state snapshots — layers, overlays, and rendered output are all preserved per version.
Browse and switch between versions directly from the menu bar popover without opening the editor.
Current version is highlighted with a green indicator for quick identification.
Each version stores its own HTML overlay, so switching versions automatically applies the correct overlay.
Versions with pre-rendered composite videos are applied instantly.

Automatic thumbnail generation — the editor composites all visible layers into a 640 × 360 preview, handling image and video layers with effects, transforms, and blend modes.
Versions bar moved to the editor footer for a cleaner layout.
Version thumbnails appear in the versions bar and in the menu bar version cards.

Expandable version list on wallpaper rows — tap the version badge to reveal a horizontally scrollable strip of version cards.
Mini version cards show the thumbnail (or a placeholder) and the version name or date.
One-tap version switching applies the selected version's rendered video and overlay immediately.
