PlasmaZones v1.7.0

Added

• Layout visibility filtering: control which layouts appear in zone selector per screen, virtual desktop, and activity
  • Tier 1 (KCM): eye toggle to globally hide a layout from the zone selector
  • Tier 2 (Editor): visibility popup to restrict layouts to specific screens, desktops, or activities
  • Empty allow-lists = visible everywhere (opt-in model)
  • Active layout always bypasses filters to prevent empty selector state
  • Undo/redo support for visibility changes in the editor
  • Filter badge on KCM layout cards when Tier 2 restrictions are active
• Layout cycling (Meta+[/]) now respects per-screen visibility filtering

Changed

• OSD style defaults to visual preview instead of text for new installs

Fixed

• Duplicated and imported layouts no longer inherit visibility restrictions from the source
• Stale screen names auto-cleaned from layout restrictions when monitors are disconnected
• Layout cycling skips hidden/restricted layouts correctly in all directions
