Product update
35 community fixes and features completed
A major feedback roundup covering the switcher, overview, bar, applets, input, Settings, Terminal, wallpaper, and PikaOS updater.
Published by FerreoThis release roundup closes out 35 completed community requests across Otter Shell and PikaOS.
Shell, overview, and navigation
- Added a current-workspace Alt-Tab switcher with keyboard and mouse control.
- Improved overview navigation with workspace snapping, direct touchpad gestures, GPU/context menus, and a more convenient layout.
- Added Night Light and fixed wallpaper changes that previously required logging out.
Bar, applets, and desktop controls
- Fixed audio tooltips intercepting clicks, inconsistent popup behaviour, disappearing Wi-Fi controls, and broken display-backlight controls.
- Added detailed applet menus, VPN and secured Wi-Fi flows, clearer brightness controls, DND/settings/power buttons, weather timestamps, automatic weather location, and 12/24-hour clock selection.
- Reworked semantic icon loading so XDG themes are used when available and bundled SVGs remain the reliable fallback.
- Added clipboard history access and made clipboard contents survive after source applications close.
- Fixed custom bar-button options appearing only after restarting Settings.
Applications and input
- Added standard text-entry context menus for cut, copy, paste, delete, and select all.
- Added launcher GPU selection and desktop-defined application actions.
- Fixed Otter Terminal edited-entry corruption, wheel-detent scrolling, numpad navigation with Num Lock off, and Arabic cursive shaping.
- Added a wallpaper directory browser and resolved several Settings visual issues and feature regressions.
PikaOS
- Fixed the reported GUI Updater crash.
Thanks to everyone who reported, discussed, and tested these changes. Every completed item linked to this entry is now shipped and closed.
