Introduce _apply_layout_fast to update the image overlay quickly on window resize using the cached QImage and FastTransformation. Called from the Resize event handler before the resize timer, it handles wallpaper mode (fast scale, center-crop to parent) and non-wallpaper mode (positioning by state.image_position and state.image_offset) to provide immediate visual feedback without running the heavier _apply_layout.
Add a 100ms single-shot QTimer to debounce Resize events and avoid reloading/layout on every resize. Cache the loaded QImage in _cached_qimage/_cached_path and only reload from disk when the image path changes. Extract layout/apply logic into _apply_layout and clear cache in update_image_overlay when a new path is provided. These changes reduce disk I/O and repeated layout work during rapid resizes.
Introduce image positioning presets and UI improvements for image overlay control. image.py: compute overlay coordinates for top-left/top-right/bottom-left/bottom-right/center positions and respect corner offset and opacity. settings.py: replace spinboxes with horizontal sliders (with value labels and custom style), add Wallpaper Mode checkbox and Position combo, wire controls to state and include them in the settings tab; ensure dialog rollback restores new temp settings. config/config.py & utils/settings.py: persist and load new image_as_wallpaper and image_position settings and extend save_settings to accept them. data/state.py: add new state fields and properties for image_position, custom position flags and x/y coordinates; change default image_as_wallpaper to false. These changes enable preset positioning, improved UX for sizing/offset/opacity, and persistence of new image options.
Introduce dynamic wallpaper transparency support for the image overlay. Adds QStackedWidget import and a new _set_wallpaper_transparency method that toggles WA_TranslucentBackground on the main window and key child widgets, updates stylesheets (with originals preserved/restored), and uses darkdetect to adapt combo popup background. Adds state fields (_wallpaper_active, _original_stylesheets), sets overlay opacity from state, and calls the transparency toggler when loading/hiding the overlay to avoid redundant updates.
Add image overlay opacity support and related UI/settings, plus robust config migration and error handling.
Key changes:
- UI: image overlay now uses QGraphicsOpacityEffect, hides when disabled, and updates opacity on state changes (src/interface/dialogs/image.py).
- New NotificationPopup dialog for user alerts (src/interface/dialogs/notificationpopup.py).
- Settings dialog: added Image Opacity control, adjusted labels, persist/rollback behavior on cancel, and include opacity when saving (src/interface/dialogs/settings.py).
- State: added properties for image_opacity and image_enabled with change notifications; renamed image_width setter param for clarity (src/utils/data/state.py).
- Config: switch from config.yml to config.ini, implement one-time migration, typed read/write of values, validation/error handling, automatic backups of corrupted files and user notification (src/utils/config/config.py).
- Settings save: accept and persist image_opacity (src/utils/config/settings.py).
- Startup: initialize QApplication earlier and pass app to run_gui (src/main.py).
- Minor: removed an extra blank line in log handler and small import cleanups.
These changes enable adjustable overlay transparency, improve config reliability, and surface errors to users while preserving/backuping old configs.
Introduce configurable image overlay options and persist them. Added new state fields (image_width, image_offset, image_enabled) with defaults and wired them into the image overlay: the image display now respects the enabled flag, uses image_width for scaling and image_offset for placement. Extended the Settings dialog (resized, API field sizing) with a new Image tab containing enable checkbox, width and offset spinboxes, and included these values when saving. Updated config read/write to include an Image section so settings persist across runs and extended save_settings to accept image_width and image_offset. Minor import/order cleanup in image dialog.
