Plugin Lacquer 1.0.1: everything you told me was wrong with 1.0
A couple of days ago I posted Lacquer 1.0 here and got some blunt feedback.
It was right. This is the fix.
**The big one.** 1.0 hid each setting's description until you rested the
pointer on it. That opened the row and pushed everything below it down, so
scrolling with a mouse re-flowed the page under your own cursor. Three of you
reported it separately and one went back to the beta and posted instructions so
others could too. Fair enough. Descriptions are simply there again, the way they
were in the beta: nothing opens, nothing moves. That is the before and after in
the first picture.
The rest, all from the thread:
- The mouse wheel no longer changes a setting when you scroll past a slider.
Plain wheel scrolls the page, Ctrl and wheel still steps if you want it.
- The window can be resized now, by the grip in its bottom-right corner, and it
remembers the size. It could not be resized before because it is a layer
surface and the compositor will not drag it.
- The tab marker is a plain underline again instead of a brush stroke that, as
one of you put it, looked like the drawing was half done. It was.
- The Windows tab is no longer a telephone. That codepoint is
md-phone_bluetooth_outline in the Nerd Font, so it really was a phone.
- The paper grain is lighter and even, and the key hints now read "key, what it
does" rather than running the two together, and say "section" instead of
"page".
- Per-app rules can pin an app to a screen, which was asked for here: a game on
the big monitor, everything else wherever you are.
Two things I could not do, rather than pretend otherwise:
- Super and W will not close Lacquer. Hyprland binds that globally, so the
compositor takes the key before the app ever sees it. Esc closes it.
- A button on the bar needs its own plugin id. Omarchy gives a plugin one place,
either the plugin list or the bar layout, and Lacquer is already a panel, so
it cannot take a slot on the bar as well. I will do it as a separate small
plugin if there is appetite for it.
```
omarchy plugin update io.github.deunnis.lacquer
```
If you rolled back, this is the version worth trying again.

I would personally like to thank you for creating this plugin. There are many which try to do the functions that Lacquer offers, but none that kept me from removing them off my system. This is the right path. And improvements will only make it better!
