Summary

  • Make options easier to scan with grouped tabs and clearer native wallpaper commands.
  • Explain mismatched component versions in settings, the menu, and a launch alert; block Matrix playback until versions match.
  • Improve menu-bar contrast and use the yellow Buy Me a Coffee favicon with clearer spacing.
  • Keep implementation details out of the README and record the future GPU-accelerated 3D hallway scene in the project roadmap. No 3D scene is implemented here.

Validation

  • Core, wallpaper, and five documentation tests passed locally; both apps rebuilt and installed.
  • Native button rendering checked in light and dark appearances.
  • The warning-dialog Quit test failed intermittently earlier, then passed full-suite reruns and ten repeated warning-test runs. Its cause remains undiagnosed; no timeout was increased or assertion weakened.
