What's New
New Icon Set - Swapped out Material Symbols for Tabler icons. They look great and load faster since they're built right in.
Works on Any Linux Distro - Dropped the Arch-specific update checker so this works properly on whatever distro you're running. You can build your own update notifications with Custom Buttons if you want.
Icon Picker - Added a proper icon picker for custom button widgets. No more guessing icon names.
Smarter Audio Visualizer - The Cava visualizer actually pays attention now - it only kicks in when you're playing music or videos instead of running all the time.
Better Notifications - Notifications now show actual app names like "Firefox" instead of cryptic IDs like "org.mozilla.firefox".
Less Noise - Turned a bunch of those persistent notification popups into toast notifications so they don't stick around cluttering your screen.
Fixes
Active Window widget finally shows the right app icon and title consistently
Fixed a nasty crash on Hyprland
Screen recorder button disables itself if the recording software isn't installed
Added a force-enable option for Night Light so you can turn it on manually whenever
