Summary
Settings is easier to navigate and highlights linked sections together. New Dynamic Island setups start compact with their sections turned on, and the island adds an optional outline, animated compact music and better play/pause for video players. Features installed from the Features hub now start working right away.
Added
- Dynamic Island can show an optional outline, white at rest and orange around a compact timer, including in the layout preview.
Changed
- A new Dynamic Island setup starts compact, opens by click, keeps the app panel in its own window and installs its extensions, with lyrics, queue, notifications, agents, downloads and activity indicators turned on. Islands already set up keep their current behavior.
- Installing a feature from its Features hub row, a preset or the first-run picker turns on its main behavior unless an earlier choice was saved, so tools such as Quit on Close work right away. Install all only makes features available.
- The compact timer strip fits its wings to the reading and companion, places their content at the island's ends, and resizes when the reading or working agents change.
- Settings groups the sidebar into sections, opens tool options in focused pages, and makes the Features catalog and navigation easier to use. Linked settings receive one outline around the whole section, and display brightness shortcuts show an icon.
- Compact music stays visible while the island retracts, fades into another activity, and yields to new playback. Reduce Motion skips the animation.
Fixed
- Dynamic Island play/pause works with the active video player even when its media session has no item identifier.
- Homebrew search results offer a direct install button in Dynamic Island and the menu panel, and reflect the installed state after a package changes.
- Clipboard History keeps recording after the macOS pasteboard service restarts, instead of silently stopping until Vorssaint is relaunched.
