# Ferese 0.1.0
|
|
|
|
Ferese 0.1.0 is our first stable release. It includes the window manager, panel,
|
|
Settings, notifications and lock screen, with one set of appearance settings
|
|
across the desktop.
|
|
|
|
## Arrange your windows
|
|
|
|
Choose a layout for each workspace. Scroll through columns of windows, tile them
|
|
to fit the screen, or let them float. You can switch layouts as your work changes
|
|
and group related windows into tabs.
|
|
|
|
Move and resize windows with the mouse or keyboard. Overview shows your open
|
|
windows and workspaces, and the launcher finds apps, files and commands.
|
|
Display scaling has finer steps for getting text to a comfortable size.
|
|
|
|
## Change the panel and appearance
|
|
|
|
Build your panel in Settings. Move controls between groups, put the panel at the
|
|
top or bottom, and choose anything from a full-width bar to separate floating
|
|
controls. Morph keeps the panel in a small hub that opens when you need it.
|
|
|
|
Pick from six themes with light and dark versions, then adjust the colors,
|
|
wallpaper, transparency and motion. The shell, Settings, menus and lock screen
|
|
follow the same theme. Changes apply as you make them.
|
|
|
|
The panel can also show command and build progress, music controls, and a focus
|
|
timer with work and break sessions.
|
|
|
|
## Share and record
|
|
|
|
Share a window, a display, or one workspace. A shared workspace stays on screen
|
|
for your audience when you switch elsewhere, and leaves out the panel and
|
|
notifications. Sharing ends when you lock the desktop.
|
|
|
|
Record a display or a selected area from the panel, with optional microphone
|
|
and system audio. The new **Capture status** item shows which apps are sharing.
|
|
With the optional OBS connection set up, it also shows when you're live,
|
|
recording, paused or reconnecting. An OBS preview alone shows **Sharing**.
|
|
|
|
Your saved panel layout stays as it is. To add the new indicator, open
|
|
**Settings → Panel & Shell → Edit panel → Add item** and choose **Capture status**.
|
|
The [sharing guide](https://github.com/ferese-wm/ferese/blob/v0.1.0/docs/screen-sharing.md#panel-status)
|
|
includes the OBS setup steps.
|
|
|
|
We removed repeated background checks and work that redraws an unchanged screen.
|
|
Fixes also cover floating windows opening on the wrong monitor and notification
|
|
menus closing when their unread badge clears.
|
|
|
|
## Install or upgrade
|
|
