v0.3.0

What's new in v0.3.0

Features

• Error display on widget — instead of silently failing, all three widgets (GrassView, CommitView, IssueView) now render an error state directly on the desktop showing the problem (e.g. "Token not set") with quick-access Settings and Refresh buttons
• Opacity now works — the `Opacity` setting in `Settings.inc` is applied to the widget background on all three views (was previously ignored)
• Run on Windows startup — new `RunOnStartup` toggle in Settings GUI; enabling it creates a Windows Startup shortcut so all skins refresh automatically after reboot

Fixes

• Commit/Issue titles with `=`, `[`, `]` characters no longer break the generated INI

Installation

Double-click grassmeter-0.3.0.rmskin to install or upgrade.

v0.2.1 - Stability fix

Bug Fixes

• Fix Rainmeter crash on auto-refresh – # characters in commit messages and issue titles are now escaped before writing to the skin INI, preventing Rainmeter from misinterpreting them as variable references during reload
• Guard !Refresh on save failure – skin refresh is no longer triggered if the INI file write fails, avoiding a reload from a bad/incomplete file
• Concurrent fetch prevention – added a lock file mechanism so overlapping auto-refresh processes cannot run simultaneously

Installation

Double-click grassmeter-0.2.1.rmskin to install, or copy over your existing skin files.
