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.
