Use shared corner geometry for shell controls, window clipping, materials and blur masks. Preserve circular pills and controls where appropriate, track contour changes in damage, and use tagged ferese-shape and libcosmic dependencies.
Mount nearby shortcut and theme rows, preserve gallery keyboard navigation, reset page scrolling, and reuse native themes during palette transitions. Prepare and deduplicate live config reloads on a worker and apply only changed runtime sections.
Align pointer focus and overview selection on overlapping outputs, add regression coverage, and clean up workspace Clippy warnings.
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.
Add adjustable lock-only inactivity delays, a smooth dimming fade and DRM display sleep without changing output layout. Input, session resume and policy changes wake displays. Pending flips retire before power-off, and protected fallback frames preserve the policy after an early locker crash while unlock ownership checks remain strict.
Reduce the password field and avatar, expose delays in Settings, document the practical swaylock comparison and remove the completed backlog.
Validation: independent review cleared; 255 compositor tests, 7 locker tests and 15 Settings tests pass; affected debug binaries rebuilt. Isolated visual smoke remains blocked by an unlocked nested screenshot timeout, matching the previously established baseline presentation limitation. Real DRM display sleep requires a live session check.
Centralize native palettes, presets, typography, controls, menus, calendar rendering, and icon assets in ferese-theme. Reuse the shared components across the shell, settings, lock screen, authentication prompt, and screen-sharing chooser.
Attach themed dialogs to compositor-owned materials, correct backdrop capture and sampling across output transforms, smooth patterned backgrounds, and prevent clipped picker buttons with the configured shell font.
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.
Add compact branded Settings with safe atomic edits, external config refresh and a draggable sidebar. Reconcile services, update connected displays and input devices, apply live layout policy and window rules, and resolve initial floating placement before tiled insertion. Package the Settings launcher and shared Ferese icon.
