Post-launch patch: shareable custom designs, Taskbar Designer refresh, big fixes

Share your full design, not just the layout

  • Presets and taskbars you share now carry their custom CSS/JS and assets , the person who imports it sees exactly what you built, not a stripped-down version

  • Importing a design that ships custom code shows a one-time heads-up first (it runs on your machine), so sharing stays safe

  • Your creations now carry your author name , set it once in Settings and every export you make is credited to you

Taskbar Designer, rebuilt

  • The designer is now a clean hub , Layout editor, Customize items, On-screen designer, and Credits, no legacy clutter

  • The layout editor is now true WYSIWYG , what you drag is exactly what renders on the desktop

Fixes

  • Fixed taskbar parts (clock, tray, menu) sliding out of place after using the designer

  • Saving a layout no longer resizes your bar behind your back

  • Tiles and widgets that sometimes didn't appear now render on their own , no more toggling the reveal hotkey

  • First launch now follows your Windows language automatically

  • Title Screen template cleaned up

To be completely honest, I couldn't bring myself to actively promote or hype up the app while knowing a critical issue was still affecting daily productivity. As a solo developer, putting on a…
