v2.0.0

YASB v2.0.0 introduces several major user-facing improvements and platform changes, a centralized, token-based UI with a new CSS engine that enables QSS/CSS animations, gradients, and richer styling, a first-run setup wizard which generates default configs and styles, significant Quick Launch enhancements, a complete systray overhaul (SetWindowsHookEx injection and native Win32 popup menus), Windows PE icon extraction and a deprecation/migration system with yasbc migrate-config to help update breaking configuration schema changes.

Breaking changes (important)

• server_monitor config changed from a list of strings to a list of dicts with name and url. Review and update saved configs.
• container_padding was removed from all widget configs.
• hide_empty_workspaces was removed.
• label_shadow was removed you should switch to using the new CSS engine for shadows and gradients.
• container_shadow was removed you should switch to using the new CSS engine for shadows and gradients.
• Default commands were removed from KomorebiConfig and GlazeWMConfig; callers must set explicit commands where previously relied on defaults.
• Many deprecated fields are stripped at runtime prior to Pydantic validation - incompatible/deprecated fields will no longer be accepted and should be migrated.
