Release v2.21.0

This release introduces a major visual upgrade with new "curvy" panels that integrate more smoothly into the bar. This new design also makes the old "Dim Desktop" feature obsolete, so it has been removed.

Here are the other key highlights:

✨ New Features
Lock Keys Widget: A new bar widget is available to show the status of CapsLock, NumLock, and ScrollLock.

Calendar Enhancements: You can now set a custom first day of the week (e.g., Monday).

Audio Visualizer: A new setting allows the visualizer to automatically hide when no media is playing.

Theming: A new IPC command allows external scripts to change the color scheme.

✨ UI & UX Improvements
Volume Widget: The left and right-click behaviors have been swapped for more intuitive control.

Calendar: The visual design has been improved, weather is now shown by default, and clicking a date will close the panel.

Setup Wizard: Wallpaper browsing now supports the scroll wheel.

✨ Major Bug Fixes
Media Player: A significant bug was fixed where the Control Center would not correctly auto-switch to new or active media players.

Other Fixes: Several other bugs were fixed related to theming (foot terminal), wallpaper scanning, and disabled buttons being clickable.
