Devlog #4 — Custom wallpapers and fixing light mode
polishing stuff before i submit. two things that were bugging me on the live build.
Custom wallpapers
got tired of only having the 5 preset gradients. added a full custom option in Settings → Desktop:
- paste an image URL and hit apply
- upload from your device (jpg, png, webp, gif)
- gif wallpapers actually animate on the desktop and login screen which is kinda sick
- custom card in the grid so you can switch back to it after picking a preset
- remove custom button if you want to clear it
uploads cap at 3mb so localStorage doesnt explode. urls have to be http:// or https://.
Light mode was broken
switched to light theme and the top bar went white but the desktop stayed dark?? icon labels were basically invisible — dark text on a dark wallpaper.
fixed it properly:
- light versions of every preset wallpaper (slate, dusk, fog, ember, void)
- desktop icon text readable again
- login/lock screen matches light theme now
- dock tiles get pastel colors in light mode
- noise overlay toned down so it doesnt look muddy
custom uploaded wallpapers still show your image in both themes. only the fallback behind them changes.
also updated the readme
cleaned up the feature list so it actually reflects everything — messages, zmusic, indexeddb vfs, custom wallpapers
pretty much ready to ship. live at https://ztionix-os.vercel.app/ — click enter, no password.
