Veil v0.4.1

Veil

v0.4.1

This patch update is solely for Shexli fixes.

• Shexli Warning Fixes - Shexli is the new GNOME Extensions static analyzer

v0.4.0

Features / behavior

• GNOME 50
• Status area horizontal padding — user-configurable spacing.
• Optional animations for always-visible items — setting to skip animations for items that stay visible (#1).
• Hover UX — Veil closes when the pointer leaves the top panel (not only when leaving the indicator), plus refactors to panel visibility and hover handling.
• Docs — README feature updates; more detail on how extensions hide status icons and how Veil behaves.

Bug fixes

• Panel / lock — Restore tray reveal after unlock when the panel was collapsed.
• Click vs hover — Reduce tray flicker from hover teardown in click mode; reset hover baseline when entering hover mode while the tray is already revealed.
• Hover mode — Fix inability to click/interact with status icons while hover mode is on (#8).
• Visibility timing — More reliable panel item show/hide timing (#9, #12).
• Other extensions — Respect external extension visibility when toggling the panel (#2).

Installation

2. Install using: gnome-extensions install --force <filename>
3. Restart GNOME Shell or log out/in
