Panel appearance now applies to the whole panel, with seven styles: Floating, Capsules, Notch, Edge to edge, Fused islands, Adaptive and Morph.
- Share composition, geometry, and motion through the renderer-independent `ferese-panel` crate, including native materials, input regions, and Settings previews.
- Add the Morph hub with media, calendar, notifications, controls, workspace previews, hover feedback, and attached mode. Keep recording and low-battery status visible and respect window clearance.
- Cache workspace preview geometry, draw thumbnails directly, centralize Morph transitions, and keep rendering settings local to each shell instance.
- Put Record Screen in the Morph header and show the display control only when an external monitor is connected. Update panel documentation, the desktop screenshot, and native check style names.
Local validation included 660 compositor tests, 191 shell tests, isolated preview-cache checks, GPU Morph captures at 1×/1.25×/1.5×, formatting, and Clippy with warnings denied. The final header change passed all 23 Morph tests. Release workflow jobs are skipped for this PR.
Share window geometry across overview, resize snapshots and retained closes. Advance close handoffs and group retained rendering by stacking position.
Drive shell motion from surface frames, reuse settled widget content, and synchronize notification materials with each card's fade. Replace physical config keys with duration and bounce, and update documentation and regression coverage.
Resolve light, dark and automatic appearance centrally and publish live theme snapshots to native surfaces and the appearance portal. Add paired preset families, custom theme imports, accessibility transforms and contrast-safe transitions.
Refine the Settings gallery and Auto controls, move overrides under advanced customization, and share palette-aware switches and circular slider thumbs. Document configuration and include theme licenses and integration coverage.
Split ScrollingLayout validation so the per-frame geometry solve only
checks scalars and keeps the full tree validation behind debug_assert,
removing a HashSet build from every frame. Replace the per-region Vec
in decode_regions with a stack array via as_chunks, and skip the window
hit test in PointerMotion when Overview is not presenting, where
visual_scale_for_window returns 1.0 regardless.
Guard sync_window_stacking behind a check that the space already matches
the target order with uniform z_index, avoiding an O(n^2) raise_element
loop on every redraw. Narrow window_under_visual to the space iterator
outside Overview, keeping the collected and sorted candidate list for
the Overview branch where front-to-back order is load-bearing.
Raise rust-version to 1.98 and clear the resulting Clippy findings
across the workspace: let-chain collapses, clamp, and while-let loops.
Keep notification actions and dismiss controls visible, compact and animate history, and add themed icon controls and grouping.
Include notification settings, session integration and documentation, on-demand workspaces, and performance baseline notes.
