Azote 1.7.11

Python version-independent launcher script #87

Azote 1.7.10

"Open with" issue #82 fixed.

Azote 1.7.9

• path to the config dir w/ XDG_CONFIG_HOME corrected; thanks to Thomas Pütz for reporting the bug

Azote 1.7.8

• styling clicked palette button with button#color-btn-selected added (for colour-blind people like myself);
• colour picker: colour image converted into the Gtk.ColorButton class, to allow the colour edition;
• added tracking the currently selected wallpapers folder for file addition / deletion: switchable, configurable (every 5 sec by default);
• tray status icon added, i.a. to indicate the tracking on/off state;
• python-send2trash from now on recommended as an obligatory dependency.

Azote 1.7.7

• Added Image menu button: available in the top right thumbnail corner; turn on in preferences and use if the context menu not always appears on right mouse click (this may happen on Sway running with older gtk+ versions).

Azote 1.7.5

Changes:

• Color picker on Sway: it'll will first try to pick a clicked point instead of an area with:

grim -g "$(slurp -p)" -t ppm - | convert - -format '%[pixel:p{0,0}]' txt:-

Optional packages grim, slurp and imagemagick required; The colorthief-based calculation of the dominant color
of an area left as the fallback method.

• Color picker on X11: it'll will first try to pick an area and return a color with the maim command:

$ maim -st 0 | convert - -resize 1x1\! -format '%[pixel:p{0,0}]' info:-

Optional maim and imagemagick packages required. In case it fails, the colorthief-based calculation of the dominant
color of an area will be used as the fallback method.

Why so? The colorthief library is cool, but calculation of the dominant colour is not accurate enough to this
purpose. If you select a region filled with #333333, the calculated value will be #343434.

• Colour palette steps altered to 6, 12, 18, 24.

• Several improvements to the environment detection and logging.

New:

• Toolboxes for .Xresources and alacritty.yml; allow to find colour definitions and redefine with colours
  selected from a palette or probed with the color picker. The alacritty toolbox depends on the optional python-yaml
  package.

Usage: click a colour on the palette or pick with the Screen color picker -> click a colour inside the toolbox to apply.
Copy - paste definitions into the .dot file. Mind the indentation in alacritty.yml.

• Colour names dictionary: displays the colour name as the tooltip text.

Azote 1.7.4

• Layout adjusted to look well in light and dark GTK themes;
• set_always_show_image(True) for all image buttons, to avoid setting gtk-button-images=1 in gtk-3.0/settings.ini;
• toolbox windows properties modified (will only affect tiling WMs).

Azote 1.7.3

New:

• Screen color picker: grabs the dominant colour of a selected screen area.

Dependencies:

• wmctrl dependency removed;
• grim, slurp - optional dependency added: for screen color picker on Sway;
• maim - optional dependency added: for screen color picker on X11; (it'll also install slop, necessary as well).

Bug fixes:

• prevent program from crashing in case Sway not installed;
• prevent program from crashing in case wallpaper folder manually removed;
• fix for context menu not being shown if jpg or jpeg file association not detected;
• icon_flip.svg converted from font to shape;
• hardcoded 'Copy as' string replaced with the dictionary value.

Azote 1.7.2

• Scale & crop feature not working on X11 bug, previously fixed in 1.5.1, reintroduced accidentally in 1.7.0. Fixed one more time.
• Scale and crop an image to dual width or height of the primary display feature added.
• Data migrated to XGD-compliant locations.

Azote 1.7.0

• Scale & crop backgrounds to virtual, custom display dimensions; define a custom display dimensions in preferences;
• CLI arguments added: -h | --help, -c | --clear (clear unused thumbnails),
  -a | --clear-all (clear all thumbnails);
• thumbnails: checkered background instead of black (clear thumbnails for this to take effect);
• Create palette: generates a colour palette on the basis of the selected image and displays a pop-up window;
  click a colour button to copy #rrggbb or (r, g, b) to the clipboard;
• ~/.azote.azoterc runtime configuration added - defines thumbnail width, number of thumbnail columns, dimensions of palette color images, color palette quality;
• image button removed, context menu always active;
• button icons redesigned.
