  • Added "Collect system icons" under the right-click menu "Collect from Desktop…" to gather them in one step

  • Fixed custom-coloured icons and folders reverting to the default icon after being dragged in

■ Launch at Startup

  • Fixed position restoration after monitors are rearranged or removed
  • Improved icon and thumbnail sharpness across DPI scaling levels

■ System Monitor Widget

  • Added GPU temperature; with multiple graphics cards you can choose which one in the settings

  • Added text colour, background colour and background opacity settings

■ Other Changes

  • Added a notification after updating that shows the new version and opens the patch notes or the store page; it can be turned off
  • Added a note in the wallpaper settings explaining that when other wallpaper software is installed, that software decides what is actually shown

■ Finally
