On tiling window managers (Hyprland, Sway, i3, bspwm, AwesomeWM, Openbox, etc.)
the window has no title bar at all — neither native nor custom. On stacking DEs
(GNOME, KDE, XFCE) the custom TitleBar can be toggled in settings as before.
Native decorations are disabled on all Linux at startup. The frontend checks
is_tiling_wm() to decide whether to render the custom TitleBar:
- DE (GNOME/KDE): custom TitleBar shown (user-toggleable in settings)
- Tiling WM: no TitleBar at all, setting hidden from Settings page
Detection is based on environment variables:
- HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE, SWAYSOCK, I3SOCK (direct compositor signatures)
- XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP check for known tiling WMs
Changes:
- Added is_tiling_wm_cmd() Tauri command for frontend detection
- Native decorations disabled on all Linux at startup
- TitleBar not rendered on tiling WMs
- Custom TitleBar setting hidden in Settings for tiling WMs
- Time-based theme scheduler: auto-switches between day/night theme
based on configurable times; setInterval re-checks every minute
- UI scale slider (80–150%) via CSS zoom on document root; preset
buttons aligned to actual slider positions
- CustomSelect: scroll listener keeps dropdown anchored on scroll
- All features i18n in 7 languages

Seekbar styles (5 new, by Psychotoxical):
- Neon Glow: transparent track, played section as multi-layer glowing neon tube
- Pulse Wave: flat line with animated gaussian sine pulse at playhead (rAF)
- Particle Trail: particles spawn at playhead and drift with glow (rAF)
- Liquid Fill: glass tube fills with liquid and animated wave surface (rAF)
- Retro Tape: two spinning reels connected by tape, shrink/grow with progress (rAF)
Ratings system (PR #130 by cucadmuh):
- Shared StarRating component with pulse/clear animations, disabled/locked states
- Entity ratings for albums and artists via OpenSubsonic probe (setEntityRatingSupport)
- Skip→1★: after N consecutive manual skips, set unrated track to 1★ (persisted per server)
- Mix rating filter: exclude low-rated songs/albums/artists from RandomMix, RandomAlbums, Hero, Home
- Batch refill in fetchRandomMixSongsUntilFull to fill list despite strict filters
- Prefetch artist/album ratings via getArtist/getAlbum for incomplete list payloads
- Settings: new Ratings section for skip threshold and per-axis mix filter stars
- i18n: all 7 languages (en, de, fr, nl, zh, nb, ru)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Apply the same per-axis star cutoff to random mix (multi-batch fetch until
full), random albums, Hero, and Home hero/discover rows. Prefetch artist and
album ratings via Subsonic when list payloads omit them. Exclude items when
0 < rating ≤ threshold; 0 or missing counts as unrated.
Settings: rating filter description interpolates sidebar menu labels; Russian
strings for custom title bar; short axis labels aligned across locales.
Add Ratings section under General: manual skip count before setting 1★,
and per-axis minimum stars for random mixes/albums (song, album, artist).
StarRating shows five stars with selection capped at three; shared max in authStore.
Queue filtering via passesMixMinRatings; OpenSubsonic-style entity rating fields on types.
Add five seekbar styles selectable in Settings → Appearance:
Waveform, Line & Dot, Bar, Thick Bar, and Segmented. Each option
shows an animated canvas preview using requestAnimationFrame.
Style is persisted in authStore (seekbarStyle, default: waveform).
Translations added for all 7 languages.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add Rust command `compute_waveform` that downloads the audio file,
seek-samples 500 evenly-spaced frames with Symphonia (fast path) and
computes peak amplitudes. Percentile-based normalisation (p5→p95)
preserves visible dynamics even for heavily compressed music.
Frontend caches results per track (module-level Map), shows the
pseudo-random fallback immediately and crossfades to the real waveform
over 400 ms (ease-in-out) once the computation finishes.
Also: Settings input-tab reset buttons now use btn-danger styling.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New authStore field useCustomTitlebar (default: true)
- set_window_decorations Tauri command toggles native decorations at runtime
- Settings toggle visible only on Linux (no restart required)
- i18n keys added to EN + DE
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- iTunes Search API calls are now gated behind enableAppleMusicCoversDiscord
(default: false). No external requests to Apple are made unless the user
explicitly enables the new opt-in toggle in Settings.
- When the toggle is flipped, Discord presence is immediately re-sent for
the current track (coversSettingChanged bypasses the early-return guard).
- When paused, activity type switches to Playing (no auto-timer) and state
text shows "Paused" instead of the artist name.
- New authStore field + setter; new Settings toggle shown only when Discord
RPC is enabled; i18n keys added to all 7 languages.

- Add Russian UI strings with idiomatic phrasing and plural forms
- Split en/de/fr/nl/zh/nb strings into src/locales/*.ts for maintainability
- Register ru in i18n and Settings language picker
- Add languageRu to all locales; extend English help (supported languages)
Made-with: Cursor

Insights (playtime/genres/formats), Playlist cover upload, resizable
tracklist columns for Playlists & Favorites, crossfade fine control,
Settings Storage tab redesign, various fixes and UI polish.

Incorporates PRs #38 (nisarg-78), #42#43#44 (JulianNymark) with fixes:
Audio / Playback
- Artist Radio starts immediately from fast getTopSongs (local library);
getSimilarSongs2 (Last.fm) enriches queue in background — no more wait
- Fix seek audio glitch: EqualPowerFadeIn only resets to zero-gain on
seeks to track start (<100 ms); all other seeks resume at unity gain
- OGG/Vorbis container support via symphonia-format-ogg (PR #42)
- Human-readable audio error messages in SizedDecoder (PR #44)
- Audio playback errors shown as themed toast notifications (PR #43)
Queue / Radio
- Infinite Queue: proactive load of 5 tracks (was 25) when ≤2 remain
- Radio: proactive reload at ≤2 remaining tracks, independent of
Infinite Queue setting — radio no longer stops at last track
- Fix: clicking Start Radio multiple times no longer stacks duplicates
- Fix: Start Radio on artist keeps current song playing
- Manual tracks always appear before Radio, Radio before Auto-added
- Queue separators: "— Radio —" and "— Auto —" dividers
- Fix: radio proactive load now works even when songs lack artistId
(uses currentRadioArtistId module var as fallback)
UI / UX
- Click synced lyrics lines to seek (PR #38)
- Volume scroll wheel on volume slider (PR #38)
- Lyrics: active / completed / upcoming visual states (PR #38)
- Shared toast utility (src/utils/toast.ts) replaces inline toast fn
- Auto-updater: relaunch_after_update Rust command exits first to
release single-instance lock before spawning new process
About / Credits
- nisarg-78 and JulianNymark added to contributors (since v1.29.0)
- netherguy4 added as Special Thanks for feature ideas and feedback
