Add pystray-based system tray icon with Open UI / Restart / Quit
actions. Add __main__.py for `python -m wled_controller` support.
Update start-hidden.vbs with embedded Python fallback for both
installed and dev environments.
New notification effects:
- Chase: light bounces across strip with Gaussian glow tail
- Gradient flash: bright center fades to edges with exponential decay
Queue priority: notifications with color_override get high priority and
interrupt the current effect.
Also fixes transient preview for notification sources — adds WebSocket
"fire" command so inline preview works without a saved source, plus
auto-fires on preview open so the effect is visible immediately.
Effects: add 7 new procedural effects (rain, comet, bouncing ball, fireworks,
sparkle rain, lava lamp, wave interference) and custom palette support via
user-defined [[pos,R,G,B],...] stops.
Gradient: add easing functions (linear, ease_in_out, step, cubic) for stop
interpolation, plus noise_perturb and hue_rotate animation types.
Daylight: add longitude field and NOAA solar equations for accurate
sunrise/sunset based on latitude, longitude, and day of year.
Candlelight: add wind simulation (correlated gusts), candle type presets
(taper/votive/bonfire), and wax drip effect with localized brightness dips.
Also fixes editor preview to include all new fields for inline LED test.
Three new processing template filters for both picture and color strip sources:
- HSL Shift: hue rotation (0-359°) + lightness multiplier via vectorized RGB↔HSL
- Contrast: LUT-based contrast adjustment around mid-gray (0.0-3.0)
- Temporal Blur: exponential moving average across frames for motion smoothing
Add 5 WebGL shader background effects (Aurora, Plasma, Digital Rain,
Starfield, Warp Tunnel) via a new bg-shaders.ts engine that shares
a dedicated canvas. Add 5 style presets (Sakura, Ocean, Copper, Vapor,
Monolith) with distinctive font pairings. Remove CSS particles effect
in favor of shader-based alternatives. Fix dot grid visibility and
tune all shader intensities for subtle ambient appearance.
Add style presets (font + color combinations) and background effect
presets as a new Appearance tab in the settings modal. Style presets
include Default, Midnight, Ember, Arctic, Terminal, and Neon — each
with curated dark/light theme colors and Google Font pairings.
Background effects (Dot Grid, Gradient Mesh, Scanlines, Particles)
use a dedicated overlay div alongside the existing WebGL Noise Field.
All choices persist to localStorage and restore on page load.
Scene name and fallback scene in automation cards are now clickable,
navigating to the corresponding scene preset card. Also renders the
deactivation mode label which was previously set but never displayed.
Auth is now optional: when `auth.api_keys` is empty, all endpoints are
open (no login screen, no Bearer tokens). Health endpoint reports
`auth_required` so the frontend knows which mode to use.
Backup/restore fixes:
- Auto-backup uses atomic writes (was `write_text`, risked corruption)
- Startup backup skipped if recent backup exists (<5 min cooldown),
preventing rapid restarts from rotating out good backups
- Restore rejects all-empty backups to prevent accidental data wipes
- Store saves frozen after restore to prevent stale in-memory data
from overwriting freshly-restored files before restart completes
- Missing stores during restore logged as warnings
- STORE_MAP completeness verified at startup against StorageConfig
Camera engine and video stream support now gracefully degrade when
opencv-python-headless is not installed. The app starts fine without
it — camera engine simply doesn't register and video streams raise
a clear ImportError with install instructions.
Saves ~45MB for users who don't need camera/video capture.
- Notification history: replace text buttons with icon buttons, use modal-footer for proper positioning
- CSS test: reject 0-LED picture sources with clear error message, show WS close reason in UI
- Calibration: distribute LEDs by aspect ratio (16:9 default) instead of evenly across edges
- Value source schedule: replace native time input with custom HH:MM picker matching automation style
- Remove "No ... yet" empty state labels from all CardSection instances
Create contexts/ci-cd.md documenting release pipeline, build scripts,
CI runners, and versioning. Reference it from CLAUDE.md context table.
Add mandatory pre-commit lint check rule to CLAUDE.md.
Add Windows installer, Docker volume mount, and first-time setup
instructions to the Gitea release body. Fix Docker registry URL.
Add CI/Release sync rule to CLAUDE.md.
Add compileall step to build-dist-windows.sh that generates .pyc files
for both app source and site-packages. Saves ~100-200ms on startup by
skipping parse/compile on first import.
- Replace winsdk (~35MB) with winrt packages (~2.5MB) for OS notification
listener. API is identical, 93% size reduction.
- Replace wmi (~3-5MB) with ctypes for monitor names (EnumDisplayDevicesW)
and camera names (SetupAPI). Zero external dependency.
- Migrate cv2.resize/imencode/LUT to Pillow/numpy in 5 files (filters,
preview helpers, kc_target_processor). OpenCV only needed for camera
and video stream now.
- Fix DefWindowProcW ctypes overflow on 64-bit Python (pre-existing bug
in platform_detector display power listener).
- Fix openLightbox import in streams-capture-templates.ts (was using
broken window cast instead of direct import).
- Add mandatory data migration policy to CLAUDE.md after silent data
loss incident from storage file rename without migration.
Strip unnecessary files from site-packages:
- Remove pip, setuptools, pythonwin (not needed at runtime)
- OpenCV: remove unused extra modules and data
- numpy: remove tests, f2py, typing stubs
- Remove all .dist-info directories and .pyi type stubs
- Remove winsdk type stubs
- Replace 7z with msiextract (msitools) to extract tkinter from
python.org's individual MSI packages (tcltk.msi + lib.msi)
- Fix build step numbering to /9
- Docker job continues on login failure (registry may not be enabled)
- Show makensis output for debugging
- Replace nuget approach (doesn't contain tkinter) with extracting
from the official Python amd64.exe installer using 7z
- Remove MUI_ICON/MUI_UNICON (no .ico file available, use NSIS default)
- Add p7zip-full to CI dependencies
- installer.nsi: per-user install to AppData, Start Menu shortcuts,
optional desktop shortcut and autostart, clean uninstall (preserves
data/), Add/Remove Programs registration
- build-dist-windows.sh: runs makensis after ZIP if available
- release.yml: install nsis in CI, upload both ZIP and setup.exe
- Fix Docker registry login (sed -E for https:// stripping)
Download _tkinter.pyd, tkinter package, and Tcl/Tk DLLs from the
official Python nuget package and copy them into the embedded Python
directory. This enables the screen overlay visualization during
calibration in the portable build.
- Move startup banner into main.py so it shows the actual configured
port instead of a hardcoded 8080 in the launcher scripts
- Wrap tkinter import in try/except so embedded Python (which lacks
tkinter) logs a warning instead of crashing the overlay thread
Windows: install-autostart.bat (Startup folder shortcut),
uninstall-autostart.bat. Linux: install-service.sh (systemd unit),
uninstall-service.sh.
Both launchers now use python -m wled_controller.main so port is
read from config/env instead of being hardcoded to 8080.
Windows embedded Python ignores PYTHONPATH when a ._pth file exists.
Add ../app/src to the ._pth so wled_controller is importable.
Fixes ModuleNotFoundError on portable builds.
Replace Windows runner requirement with cross-compilation:
download Windows embedded Python + win_amd64 wheels from PyPI,
package into the same ZIP structure as build-dist.ps1.
All 4 release jobs now run on ubuntu-latest.
Restructure release.yml into 4 jobs:
- create-release: shared Gitea release with download table
- build-windows: existing portable ZIP (unchanged)
- build-linux: new tarball with venv + run.sh launcher
- build-docker: push image to Gitea Container Registry
Add build-dist.sh as Linux equivalent of build-dist.ps1.
Docker tags: version + latest (stable only, no latest for alpha/beta/rc).
Tests that call get_available_displays() or capture_display() require
a real display ($DISPLAY on Linux, always available on Windows/macOS).
Mark them with @requires_display to skip on headless CI instead of
failing with "$DISPLAY not set".
Affects: test_screen_capture.py (4 tests), test_api.py (1 test).
- Lazy-import tkinter in screen_overlay.py (TYPE_CHECKING + runtime
import) so the module loads on headless Linux CI without libtk8.6
- Fix test_wled_client.py: mock all HTTP endpoints with respx (info,
cfg, state) instead of hitting real network
- Fix test_calibration.py: assert numpy array shape instead of tuple
- Fix test_processor_manager.py: update to current API (async
remove_device, dict settings, no update_calibration)
- Fix test_screen_capture.py: get_edge_segments allows more segments
than pixels
341 tests passing, 0 failures.
screen_overlay.py imported tkinter at module level, which cascaded
through processor_manager → every test touching the app on CI where
libtk8.6.so is unavailable. Move to TYPE_CHECKING + runtime lazy
import so the overlay module loads cleanly on headless systems.
Also fix test_processor_manager.py to use ProcessorDependencies().
- Refactor process-picker.ts into generic NamePalette with two concrete
instances: ProcessPalette (running processes) and NotificationAppPalette
(OS notification history apps)
- Notification color strip app colors and filter list now use
NotificationAppPalette (shows display names like "Telegram" instead of
process names like "telegram.exe")
- Fix case-insensitive matching for app_colors and app_filter_list in
notification_stream.py
- Compact browse/remove buttons in notification app color rows with
proper search icon
- Remove old inline process-picker HTML/CSS (replaced by palette overlay)

Server: send initial frame immediately after metadata for api_input
sources so the client gets the current buffer (fallback color if
inactive) instead of never receiving a frame when push_generation
stays at 0.
Frontend: clear all test modal canvases on open to prevent stale
pixels from previous sessions. Reset FPS timestamps after metadata
so the initial bootstrap frame isn't counted in the FPS chart.

Previously modals showed generic "Failed to add/save" messages. Now they
extract and display the actual error detail from the API response (e.g.,
"URL is required", "Name already exists"). Handles Pydantic validation
arrays by joining msg fields.
Fixed in 8 files: device-discovery, devices, calibration,
advanced-calibration, scene-presets, automations, command-palette.

- KC test WS now acquires from LiveStreamManager instead of creating its
own DXGI duplicator, eliminating capture contention with running LED targets
- Tree-nav refactored to compact dropdown on click with outside-click dismiss
(closes on click outside the trigger+panel, not just outside the container)
- KC target card badge (e.g. "Daylight Cycle") no longer wastes empty space
