v2.2.1

Zebar V2: Production-Ready Release ⚡

With GlazeWM V3 and now, Zebar V2, the theme of the last few months has been big rewrites and breaking changes. This release is a large redesign of Zebar's core functionality based on community feedback.

New config files are generated on launch to %userprofile%/.glzr/zebar (no need to make backups of existing config - they won't conflict). This is a breaking change to existing configs.

Major changes

1. New config format

• YAML config is gone, templating syntax is gone, and inline HTML/CSS in the config file is gone.
• Instead, point to an HTML file with the markup and styling of your widget. Any frontend framework can be used (React, SolidJS, Angular, Vue, etc.).
• Zebar now exposes providers via a JS library published as zebar on NPM.

2. No start script

• Just launch the Zebar application normally.

3. Modular config files

• Each widget now has its own config file. This makes it way easier to share widgets - just zip it up and then unzip it into the %userprofile%/.glzr/zebar folder.

4. Toggle active widgets

• Choose which widgets to have active by enabling/disabling them in the system tray menu.
• To choose which widgets should be opened when Zebar starts up, check the "Launch on startup" option.
